Well, I've been meaning to get some cards for a while now, and I finally got some. I kinda went all out, getting a $10 box of Series 1, three packs, and three packs of Magic Football, because I loved that set in 2010.
Magic Pack 1-
4- Jason Pierre-Paul. Decent start, as I met him. Big, imposing guy, but really nice
171- BenJarvis Green Ellis, aka Law Firm
Magical Moments of Antonio Brown. I like this insert set.
149- Jarius Wright mini
81- Philip Rivers. I really like the design, but not as much as the 2010 version.
6- Matt Cassel, currently out of a job.
Pack 2-
144- Greg Childs
146- Chad Greenway. Already a Vikings pack
251- Joe Flacco, the Super Bowl MVP, and local hero.
72- Joe Montana mini
12- Patrick Willis, another imposing player I met.
79- Davone Bess
Pack 3-
128- Jim Kelly. That's a nice pull, as he's a big deal.
Rookie Enchantment of Kendall Wright. I really like these inserts
148- Jim Kelly mini. Weird
38- TJ Graham rookie
214- Dexter McCluster. Dunno if he's gonna make it big.
Topps Series 1 pack 1-
151- Alex Rios, hopefully used less next season.
116- Brian McCann. Sorta lost his luster, but will have a decent season, possibly
108- Kendrys Morales. Oh great. Doubles
44- Anthony Rizzo
149- Yovanni Gallardo
282- Russell Martin. Typical collation
97- Danny Espinosa. I don't have him, but he sucks
Code Card. Let's see who I get:
Wilin Rosario, backup catcher for the Rockies. Can't you just feel the excitement?
(My other code from my first box yielded Jay Bruce, which is much better)
285- Addison Reed
66- Daniel Nava
307- Norichika Aoki
324- Cameron Maybin
Pack 2-
38- Brian Wilson. Have it
133- James Shields. Have it

114- Casey McGehee
205- Ryan Theriot
Pack 3-
275- Johnny Cueto
135- Eric Hosmer
255- Josh Johnson

And now, the Cereal Box (and this is some good stuff):
308- Desmond Jennings.
43- RA Dickey, now pitching for the Blue Jays, and not as well as 2012 at that
122- Andrew McCutchen. The card has his dreadlock-ness swinging at the plate. REMEMBER THIS NOW.
240- JJ putz
214- Curtis Granderson
8- Ryan Braun, whose career's likely been tainted
289- Jeremy Guthrie
239- Ramon Santiago
323- Michael Brantley, lord of the dance
215- Gordon Beckham, yet to actually do anything
279- Vicente Padilla. Good gosh, he's still playing?
23- Jemile Weeks, Rickie's better brother
100- Mike Moustakas, the 2nd banana to Hosmer
283- CC Sabathia ALDS Game 5.
157- Carter CAPPS (See what I did there?)
249- Vance, the Vannimal Worley, rocking a Phils throwback, and soon to be rocking a Twins uniform.
69- Marco Scutaro NLCS Game 7
122- Andrew McCutchen...only this time he's catching a fly ball and not swinging. One of these two cards is a short print, dunno which one.
37- Max Scherzer EMERALD SHINY
Rod Carew Chasing History, which is awesome
Tommy Milone Chasing the Dream
Cut to the Chase of Nelson Cruz. Hate the guy. Love these cards
