Box 9:
Packs 13 - 18:
Another nice set of packs here, though we didn't find hit #3. We did, however, find a framed card - one of those 10th Anniversary mini cards.
That Lester might be of interest to someone - though I may end up throwing it on eBay with the rest of the buybacks, we shall see! The Lester is actually an A&G back mini from 2010. I did pull a full-sized 10th anniversary buyback as well - but it is the Parthenon so I might be keeping that one just because it's Greece!
Moving on to the inserts, I ended up with a new Great Scott! card.
I'm not sure fingerprints are the most exciting science topic but that's alright - at least it is a new card for my set!
Something a bit more exciting (though completely wrong) - Alchemy.
This is from the What Once Was Believed set - and it's a great subject for that set! Turning ordinary metals into gold...using spells and potions to concoct an everlasting life serum. Good stuff - too bad it's all hooey!
I also lucked out and landed two more mini inserts including the third bug card of the box!
The White-Legged Snake Millipede is pretty gross looking if you ask me. The Millipede eats mildew and decaying vegetation though so it's often found in gardens - I guess that's not the worst thing!
Finally, how about another Pirate?
It's been awhile since I've had a new Pirate mini - this time Stede Bonnet makes an appearance. Bonnet was a "Gentleman Pirate" according to his card. He did, however, spend some time working together with Blackbeard so I think that "gentleman" name is more from his time as a wealthy citizen (before he took up piracy) than his actual disposition.
That's it for the third quarter of the box - it's been a great one so far...and there's still one more hit that should be lurking (I'm pretty sure silk cards count as a hit).
