There's something wonderful about having a box of cards to open. I don't know what it is - for some reason if I have a full box of cards waiting to be ripped, I'm ecstatic. Sure, opening up single packs can soothe the itch...and blasters are nice enough I suppose. But really, full boxes are where it is at.
Happily, I've managed to hold off opening one such full box until this week - and now it's time to continue ripping the 2003 Fleer Box Score box.
Pack 5:
14. Randy Johnson

28. Jimmy Rollins
45. Sean Burroughs
54. Rich Aurilia
74. Mark Prior
97. Alfonso Soriano
First Edition Parallel: Jesse Foppert #072/150
The First Edition parallels are cool - you get an actual box score (from a newspaper) in the front window...and the back of the card contains the serial number. I don't know much about Foppert - but I do know this is a pretty sweet card (and a nice way to tie-in the product name). Quite frankly, a box score from a random newspaper is probably just as close to authentic as a scrap of cloth in your typical relic card!
As for the card itself, it is apparently card #107 in the set (there are ten rookie Box Score Debuts numbered to 599 in the base set - card numbers 101 - 110). This is the parallel though (and thus rarer)... Nonetheless, I would have thought the card would have a card number on it but alas, it does not.
Pack 6:
4. Barry Zito
10. Ivan Rodriguez
This is a gorgeous card!
36. Carlos Beltran
62. Jacque Jones
76. Albert Pujols
87. Larry Walker
119. Termel Sledge
The Sledge card is another one of the 1:6 rookie short prints. The real prize of the pack though is the Ivan Rodriguez card...I love that one!
That was a fun pair of packs - a short print, a serially numbered parallel, a bunch of really nice base cards. The more of this set that I open, the more sure I am that I'm going to try and collect the full set! There's hope that I get the full set (sans short prints) from the box...it'll all depend on the collation! So far, so good on that front at least!
