Nice job!
I saw those 1 pack sweet spots the other day
I went with and A&G blaster myself. I got nothing
so I did not even post it. Will other then the Sp and
a black mini it was not even worth saying I wasted 21.00 bucks.

Item 3: 2008 Sweet Spot pack

Jeff Kent, Swisher, McCann, Bedard, Morneau, Harang

Pudge swatch

this was odd

Okay, so the pack is in a clamshell, inside of a little paper box. Well, inside of this paper box was a metal tin, with the pack inside of that. No wonder this sucker weighed a ton.

Well, this pack sucked. Was hoping for an auto, which, supposedly is 1:3

Oh well. I liked my blaster, and the first sweetspot was sweet.

Thanks fellas.

Not bad Rud. I really have no clue as to why they decided to put some packs inside the tins. You got one pack in a 6 pack hobby box that would be inside the tin. Maybe it was to deter the pack searchers as nearly all of the tins did not contain the thick autographed card. Good luck if you break some more. Its a cool product and I love the dual swatch cards.

Its a bit rough though I suppose. At $19.97 per "pack" if I buy the last two and pull two common jersey swatches then that would be bad.

Then again, there are some great autos, right?

Almost positive someone pulled a Matsuzaka auto from one of these tins...

The "packs" were $19.97 per. I havent seen the hobby box

I actually bought one of the hobby boxes from Wal Mart and pulled a Matsuzaka Auto 1/150. Needless to say, I was very happy about that!
