I hope at least some of you are enjoying my slow box break as much as I am. At this point, I've busted eight packs (or one-third of the box). I've found one hit so far which means I'm on pace there. I haven't found any other "rare" cards yet, though I have nabbed three mini inserts already which I'm happy about!
Friendly reminder: I WANT YOUR 2014 ALLEN & GINTER'S INSERTS (minis and full size). Thanks!
Now, let's keep the fun going by ripping open packs nine and ten!
Pack 9:
100. Queen Victoria
132. Ted Williams
135. Grant Balfour
266. Prince Fielder
277. Trevor Rosenthal
332. Victor Martinez
Another short print for my set - always a good thing even if it is a rather dull image of Victor.
World's Capitals: Washington D.C.
Bummer, I already have a copy of Washington D.C. from my retail purchases. All my extra inserts are available for trade - a pile that now includes this card!
A&G back mini: 250. Steve Cishek
Getting a duplicate insert was a bummer, but it wasn't a duplicate from the box itself so I can't complain too much. The A&G back minis are nice enough I guess but I don't have plans to collect them. Unfortunately, I don't know many (any?) Marlins collectors so chances are fairly high that I'll be stuck with this one no matter what.
Pack 10:
121. Freddie Freeman
133. Xander Bogaerts
163. Paul Molitor
269. Jose Abreu
This is one of the more coveted base cards this year I believe.
292. Andre Dawson
339. Jeff Samardzija
Natural Wonder: 2. The Shilin Stone Forest
I've never heard of the Shilin Stone Forest but it does sound interesting. The limestone formations are thought to be about 270 million years old.
A&G back mini: 227. Jimmy Rollins
Two packs, two A&G back minis. I also landed two more base short prints so I'm making good progress with my own set. No hits or other spectacular cards but I think the Abreu rookie is probably enough for one round of posting!
