2009 A Piece of History Hobby Pack

Yep, I'm a sucker for this stuff. Mainly because when I go to the card shop, these are one of the few reasonably priced hobby packs available. So, Friday when I stopped by, along with the pack of Sport Legends shared yesterday, I also grabbed 1 pack of this junk, and a couple of other random packs that will be shared later on. This was the top pack in the box, no digging around or anything, and I knew as soon as I picked it up there was something in there (besides just crappy looking base cards)

Well, here goes:
#137 Aaron Cunningham

#79 Brian Giles
. Am I the only one who likes these uniforms?

UD 20th Anniversary #962 Nebraska Cornhuskers
. Never was a Huskers fan. This card will find it's way to Rob at VOTC, along with the rest of my 20th Anniversary nonsensical cards.

#POH-JH Pants relic from Outlander
. Here is what I was talking about. This is the first one of these I've ever gotten, and I guess it's sort of cool. I've never seen Outlander, and wasn't able to place John Hurt until I looked him up on IMDB. As you can see his resume is pretty impressive. Although I've seen many movies he has been in, Alien is one of the only ones I remember him in. At least the relic itself is leather.

#156 18th Amendment Adopted
. Boo prohibition! This whole subset sort of baffles the mind. Most of the "historical moments" are pretty sorry, and definitely have nothing to do with baseball. Well, except this one. I guess you couldn't drink at ballgames anymore.

Not a bad pack. While the Outlander relic isn't the best by any means, I'd rather have that than a jersey of some crummy player like Garrett Atkins or Bobby Crosby.
