Card Show- Sweet Swag

A few days ago I went to a Card Show down at the somewhat-local mall. I was stunned. Being that this was my first in a while, I simply looked first, THEN gorged! There were a lot of hot products- 2009 Topps, all the inserts, Numbered, Turkey Red, you name it- and a lot of products that were hot back in the day- tons of random Early 00's packs-.

In fact, my dad (Who came with me) answered a Trivia Question about Ron "Louisana Lightning" Guidry (He went to Guidry's first game. Talk about a Yankee fan) and we won a free Guidry card! I chose one of the only ones we didn't have:1983 Topps #440 (Above)

If that wasn't enough, I got a few packs of older stuff. 1995 Topps was a dead end, no need to show it (Dave Henderson and Ruben Sierra were the only ones I knew). But I ended up getting 2 packs of 2003 Topps, which I started back in the day but couldn't finish.

Pack One-

Lance Berkman- #230 Awesome! Still no Yankees though...

Frank Thomas #109 Great player, close to retirement, but cool. Where are my Bronx Boys

Hideo Nomo #93 Boooo! Former Red Sock! Get him out of here!

Hobby Masters Kazuhisa Ishii HM2 Who? Never heard of him! And how is he a Hobby Master then?

Tony Armas Jr. #149

Ruben Quevedo #111

This pack is beginning to smell- wait!

Greg Maddux- #105 NICE! Retiree! That is getting better

Jason Giambi #356 DINGDINGDINGDINGDING! Yankee in the house!

Not the best Yankee, but a Yankee nonetheless

Mike Mussina #190 Wow, another Retired Yankee. Now let's end it strong!

Brent Butler #241 The exact opposite of strong

Pack 2-

Geronimo Gil #131

Carlos Baerga #45

John Halama #280

Art Howe Manager #282

Fernando Vina #223

All except Baerga- who? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE PEOPLE!

Add the fact that I already have a Vina in my basement from 6 years ago.

League Leaders NL HR #345

Sosa, Green, and ANOTHER BERK! This pack wants me to move to Houston.

Future Stars Philly Marlon Byrd/ Jorge Padilla #322

Huh? A rookie of a kid who'll never get anywhere? Nah!

Future Stars Twins Michael Cuddyer/ Michael Restovich #329

Huh? A rookie of Michael Cuddyer? Things are looking up!

Future Stars Rangers Hank Blalock/ Mark Texiera #324

Huh? A ROOKIE OF A CURRENT YANKEE? This is bound to be my hit, right?

Future Stars Devil Rays Josh Hamilton/ Carl Crawford #325

(Jaw slowly drops)

Oh my god, this is the best pack EVER!!!! Aside from all those nameless people at the beginning, this ROCKS!

End with a checklist, something 09 Topps doesn't have!!

Wow, that pack blew my mind back then. That means that there are plenty more Card Shows to come!!!
