11000 users signed up with almost a thousand active and only two people respond?? I'd love to hear more opinions otherwise I'll just break the 2007 box

I was on vacation.. I went to see my brother up in Idaho and then my parents in Tacoma.. I just got back yesterday..

I loved ripping Finest back then.. I wish I still had this card..

I also pulled this which I sold when he was hot..

I opened 2 boxes of series 2 this week. Pulled a Griffey and a Maddux triple and double. You will hit the lotto with that one. Please keep me in mind for any Juan's. Series 1 boxes are not worth opening.

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


Sent from my iPhone using Freedom Card Board mobile app

You said you need some of these?
