More on the cheap thrills in a sec...
Today was the day the card lady (in our case, it's a woman who comes around to refill the sportcard section) came to Target. I picked up two Blasters of 09 Spectrum, figuring they would dissappear faster than the Blasters of reg. UD. Here's the goods:
Base cards look like this...
Inserts and GU (one per box on average)
Got one unnumbered blue parallel in each box, and for the first time in a long time, pulled a couple of PC GU. Griffey and Morneau--SWEET! The cards are gold and blue, not green and blue (not sure how my scanner messed that up!) They look nice!
The most annoying thing--look at the base cards--is picturing players in their old uniforms--Santana as a Twin, Sabathia as an Indian, Haren as an Athletic, etc. There's no reason not to put a current pic of them on the card. Even the Griffeys list him as White Sox, but show him with the Reds. What's going on over there, UD?
And now the cheap thrills. I am a sucker for those repacked $1.59 packs. Certain ones always seem to have something in them, and it worked this way today. Bought four packs of 2005 Leaf, and came away with these babies...
