Today marks the final official day off for me between the fall and the spring semester. On Monday, it's back to the proverbial grindstone... I suppose I should be working on writing my syllabi and creating homework assignments...but it's a lot more fun to open up baseball cards! I can procrastinate a bit longer - after all, what's one or two more days after wasting almost all of my free time this vacation?!
Pack 21:
43. Nomar Garciaparra
I like this photo quite a bit - it shows some of the downtime in the game of baseball!
57. Rickey Henderson
71. David Justice
117. Shannon Stewart
139. Randy Johnson
Mini poster:
16. Fernando Vina
Only one double in that pack (Rickey Henderson). All things considered, that could have turned out a lot worse!
Pack 22:
15. Kevin Brown
42. Ron Gant
153. Brian Rose
185. Kevin Brown
4 of 10 EC. Editor's Choice: Mark McGwire
The Editor's Choice cards are seeded 1:24 packs so this is a de facto box hit! The background made up of all the old Sports Illustrated magazines is pretty cool - but otherwise this isn't anything special. It's certainly not up to the same level of crazy for a box hit insert as a Pacific insert would have been!
Mini poster:
6. Sammy Sosa
That turned out to be a pretty fun pair of packs. Even after opening 22 of the packs I'm still amazed by some of the photography in the set. There's plenty of cool shots! I did get one more duplicate in the pack #22 though (Brian Rose). The collation hasn't been great (in terms of base cards) but I've managed to pull 22 unique mini posters so I guess I'll take that trade!
Only two packs remain in the box - I should have it done before school starts back up on Monday if all goes well!
