Two Boxes 2009 Upper Deck Spectrum Live Break (Blasters)

[Tom Oates]

Stopped by K-Mart to pick up a few things... (how many times have we read posts that start with similar sentences?)... and checked out the card section...

They didn't have any clearance Ginter but they did have two blasters of 2009 Upper Deck Spectrum with guarenteed game used for $5.99 each. Figure I would enjoy a cheap break with two hits and stick to singles instead of buying an expensive box and being disappointed. I've been sticking to my guns and not busting many boxes and I have to say that I'm adding more quality cards to my collection by not gambling on box breaks. I'll be posting my recent pickups in about an hour. I promise it will be worth the wait!

I'm working on some scans of my recent pickups and then I'll rip into these two.

I busted like 7 of these over the last two weeks.
Can't really argue the $6 price tag for one relic, plus the chance to hit a "Celebrity" auto.
My best relic was a Pedroia I think.

I've opened 4 so far... Pulled a Ken Griffey jr, Pedro Martinez, Matt Cain, and Roy Halladay jersey cards... One store had the blasters in the 40% Off display box and gave me that discount off of the $5.99.

I went to my K-Mart recently as well, and couldn't resist picking up the ones they had.Think Ramirez is bad?I pulled a Griffey Reds jersey out of one that had a White Sox logo on the front of it.
