182 Packs of Baseball - 028

Come on in, folks, grab a seat.  I'm not sure what we'll face today, but I can't think of a better way to kick things off than to crack open a pack of cards!  Let's see, today's selection from the big ol' box of packs yields: 1997 NEW Pinnacle Hobby.  I wish we could find some cool inserts in these.  But, I figure since they were a bulk buy through eBay, they aren't going to give us much in that direction.  Of course, I don't actually mind, since I'm having a great time doing this little project!

Joe Carter - Blue Jays
Chris Snopek - White Sox
Tom Glavine - Braves
Matt Lawton - Twins
Carlos Garcia - Blue Jays

Andy Benes - Cardinals
Tim Naehring - Red Sox
Jim Edmonds - Angels
Matt Williams - Indians - WAHOO! Score a Triber!
Juan Gonzalez - Rangers

Hot dog!  Snagged an Indians player in there.  Of course, Carter, Glavine, and couple others in there are nothing to sneeze at, either.  Not a bad pack, especially had we busted this open back in '97.

Each day of the regular baseball season, I am busting open a pack of baseball cards.  These are packs that I have laying around and/or that I have purchased recently on a whim.  I list the cards in the pack and scan in some of them.  I shoot for 9 cards, but sometimes I may scan more, other times fewer.  It all depends on how things hit me in that particular pack.  Oh yes, there will be duplication.  I have a TON of packs from certain brands/years.  I will, however, try to mix things up throughout the season.

For those keeping score, I know there are not actually 182 GAMEDAYS in the 2012 season.  I am counting ALL the days between Opening Day and the last day of the regular season.  Frankly, it's easier that way.  Thanks for playing along.
