I feel like since I've been buying cards less and less, the products have gotten better and better. Unforutnately, they haven't been getting cheaper and cheaper, but that's besides the point. Either way, the last two sets I've binged upon (Heritage and Gypsy Queen) have been very good, mostly gimmick free, fun sets to collect. So my dad happened to pick up a rack pack for me, and here we are again.
Pack 1-
18- Jackie Robinson. That's a great way to start off the packs.
55- Matt Holliday. I guess St. Louis needed another big star after Pujols left, and this is it.
142- Carlos Gonzalez.
256- AW YES, THIS IS A NICE PARALLEL! NOLAN RYAN #'D TO 599! THAT'S A NICE ONE!
202- Jason "Fozzie Bear" Motte Straight Cut mini
67- Josh Hamilton.
Pack 2-
200- Felix Hernandez. Still didn't deserve the AL Cy Young in 2010. I will stand by this until the day I die.
234- Carlton Fisk. Forever recognized for a home run in a series he didn't even win.
254- Brooks Robinson. Great player.
269- Willie Stargell. Good god, that's 3 Hall of Famers in a row!
238- Rollie Fingers mini. FOUR!
Hallmark Heroes of Sandy Koufax. FIVE! FIVE HALL OF FAMERS AND FELIX HERNANDEZ!
Pack 3-
178- Jose Valverde. Was somehow the AL's best closer last year.
15- Asdrubal Cabrera. Currently baseball's second best Cabrera,
167- Brett Gardner.
27- Mark Reynolds.
177- Nick Markakis Gypsy Back mini
Future Stars of Mark Trumbo. Only if he's at another position.
And now the Brown Borders.
295- Doc Gooden. Pretty nice.
242- AL KALINE! Very nice.
238- Rollie Fingers. Wow, these were good brown borders.
All in all, great packs. A lot of Hall of Famers, and a Blue Border of Nolan Ryan. Good stuff.
