Ha, Craig Brazell, I barely remember him, he only played in 24 games and mostly as a pinch hitter. But his one and only major league homer was a day before my birthday and was a walk off, so I guess that’s something (and yes I looked all that up, haha)

I don’t really have a vote as to which box you open next, it’s fun seeing all your results, but if I had to pick...umm, 2006 finest sounds good to me for no reason other than a random pick

OK folks lack of site participation I'll crack in my own order

2007 FINEST to me was one of the cleaner designs and real easy to know you had color. Not so good on base refractors- white is white. Some nice inserts and a few decent autos possible..

If I remember correctly has two mini packs one with AROD Road to 500 items the other the Ryan Howard Finest Moments # to 459. There is one card for each of the 58 home runs Ryan Howard hit in his NL MVP 2006 season

You can find info about it baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2007_Finest

Going to break ONE mini box this am and more later today/tomorrow I'm exhausted = had a rough day with customers at my casino

2003 and 2007 are my favorite Finest sets from the decade.

2007 is one of my faves but my head goes with 2005 . I just like that years simplicity and circular design

Box pics below of the 2006 FINEST box I'll be cracking TOMMOROW
Yes folks I did buy off Burbank they sold boxes back then and always had stock !!

Heading to sleep as you know Mon/Tues suck work wise :(

OK folks next up is 2006 FINEST. This years product had Barry Bonds and Mantkle inserts
Standard 3 mini boxes plus the bonus pack
6 packs per mini box with 5 cards a pack

You can find info baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/2006_Finest

First up to show you the odds of pulling a specific card- right here
Doesn't match up with any published data I've seen so I'd go with this before I'd go with online websites
Also if you note you could have sent in for a damaged replacment card address is right on the box
Not sure if its still active 13 years later that PO box woul dbe interesting to chekc into
