Leave it to an Orioles fan to pull a Red Sox Yaz Relic!
ReplyDeleteMaybe when I get my cards next week I will pull that Brooks Robinson to even the score!
Sweet looking Brian Roberts by the way. I think that I can be content with not completing this set and just chasing the best looking cards.
Really? I think Roberts looks like he's been kickin it with Geovany Soto, if you catch my drift.
ReplyDeleteI like your Wang. Har, har...
ReplyDeleteThere are some cool looking cards in there. The Zupan is neat (his autobiography is an excellent read), and something about the framing on the Johnny Bench makes it one of the coolest catcher cards I have seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to pick up a box this weekend.
That is a SWEET Ripken mini!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of these cards, but I don't know if it is worth it to bust open a box. Between the minis (and the fact that packs with mini "hits" tend to have two minis) short prints, super short prints and those extremely annoying 20th Anniversary Cards it's going to make putting a set together ridiculous. I guess I'll just look for a base set on eBay or possibly just stick to singles.
ReplyDeleteIf I spent $4 and opened your pack #3, I would be beyond annoyed. Two minis and a 20th Anniversary card of politicians. I think this is the main reason why I've waited for prices to drop until I've purchased anything Upper Deck over the past few years.
I feel your pain. The Pope?!?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that Price is sweet!!! If you'd be up for trading it, especially if you pull a Crawford, drop me a line!
I think they all look pretty good and the Black Bordered look excelent. (except the Wang, seriously if you are going to paint a guy that is the wrong angle to do it from) (how about that same pose for a womens tennis player)
ReplyDeleteI realize you are probably building the set, but is that #4 Bobby Orr available???
ReplyDeleteOH! That Adrian Peterson card is awesome! All of the cards look really nice though. I think the Wang pose is the same as the one in A&G isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYaz is my second favorite player so that would be a nice pull and I like the look of the Bench card, even if it looks like he might be playing a game of catch with Mr. Ed out in a pasture.
