As promised last week, this is the other blaster that I picked up at the card show for the low, low price of $12. I bought only one other pack of this product this year, and I was pretty disappointed. It's something I really wanted to be excited about, and I absolutely love the inserts, but the base cards being on the cheap and lazy white card stock made me think twice about forking over $3.19 a pack. If blasters were always and forever $12 a piece, and if they were as good as this one, I might have changed my tune. Oh well.
This is going to double as an "Up For Grabs" post as well. In breaking with my usual box break format, I am just going to list out the cards. If you need 'em, let me know. There's only a few cards that I will be keeping, and I will note them below.

dude - let's make a trade. of course i want the 'k' boys, kershaw and koufax.
ReplyDeletei'm also interested in the pictured eddie murray and reggie cards.
i'll shoot you an email.
I'll claim the Snider archive let's reprint this card a zillion times so you don't know which set it came from card.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree on everything you said about Archives. I'm even meh on the inserts.
If the Chili Davis is still available please add it to my tab.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing the mix of players old & new in the various designs. I didn't understand the high price point either, though - particularly when you consider the card stock. Card stock isn't the most important attribute for me, but there is definitely something attractive about the Heritage stock that I think would have worked quite well with Archives.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I am still chasing this set and would love to swap you for some of the base cards you pulled. I'll drop you an email with a list and hopefully we can pull something together.
Thanks for sharing!

I would like to lay claim on Cargo Foil and the Cuteo relic. I think a few weeks ago we were trying to work up another trade. I'll email you again.
ReplyDeleteCould I lay claim on the Braves, to add to my stack? Thanks!
