This is the second part of a 2012 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions blaster that I've had sitting around unopened for much, much too long. The first four packs produced some hideous cards - but there were also a few gems within the packs. What will the next few packs give us? Before we find out, I will remind you once again to check out my upcoming group break. As of the time I wrote this post, there were a few open spots remaining!
Pack 5:
4. Hakeem Olajuwon
19. Dan Marino
99. Barry Sanders
186. Camille Pissarro
The Barry Sanders card is creepy as all get out. I think I'll have nightmares having seen that card peeking out from the pack! The Pissarro is much better, even if his painting looks like a door to nowhere. It is kind of fun to get a painter in a pack of baseball cards - much better than a golfer if you ask me!
Pack 6:
11. Dawn Harper
14. Martin Laird
61. Matteo Manassero
Lady Luck mini: 37. Jeanette Lee
Two golfers, a hurdler, and a Billiard Lady Luck mini. I can't say that was a good pack...stupid golf.
Pack 7:
36. Eric Lindros
52. Robert Griffin III
74. Brett Hull
168. Pretty Boy Floyd
Pretty Boy Floyd was a criminal who was killed in an Ohio apple orchard in a gun battle with law enforcement. I'm not sure what to think about that other than I like learning from my baseball cards!
Pack 8:
67. Mia Hamm
137. Blaine Gabbert
111. Bill Haas
Mini: 119. Mario Lemieux
I'm guessing there are people out there who would like the mini Mario. It's a pretty nice card - much better than a lot of the images in the set. This pack had yet another golfer - must be golfers have a low fee that they charge companies to include them in a set of cards. Otherwise, I don't get Upper Deck's fascination with golf!
The blaster contained 12 packs so there's one more post and we'll have the blaster finished off. I think the set is actually pretty cool - I'll have to see if I end up anywhere near close enough to consider trying to collect the set. If I don't, I'm not sure how I'll unload all these cards of golfers!
