I went to WalMart yesterday and among the other things I needed, I "needed" to buy cards, too. That said, I saw a 11.99 box of 2010 Topps, but I couldn't bring myself to have all of those extra cards lying around--cards that I already have three and four of. The patch card in the box was appealing, but I decided to go with something cheaper, and newer.
So far I have only opened one blaster of 2013 Topps. I am trying to not wind up with three and four of each card this time around with the 2013 releases. I am going to be more selective about what I purchase, and while I will have the occasional rack pack and loose pack, I will probably just buy a few hobby boxes of products I really, really want to rip. What those are will be determined, but I can tell you that it is not series one.
The first thing I'd like to show from the rack pack is something I found mildly interesting. And if this is something that happens in every rack pack and I just realized it, then I will feel pretty dumb.
That's right: I pulled the base card of each blue parallel card I received. Cool...or not?
I have lots of other cards to show off from this rack pack, but for now I have to end the post and go back to work. Work has kept me from posting as much as I'd like. I hate when life gets in the way of collecting!
That is weird. I have purchased maybe 3 or 4 rack packs and maybe one card matched a blue parallel in the same pack.
ReplyDeleteMust be a MD thing.
Getting two cards of Sabathia (or any Yankee for that matter) is never cool.
ReplyDeleteThat's happened to me, too. So it's not an MD thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's happened down here in Texas too.
