182 Packs of Baseball - 032

Welcome to sexto de Mayo!  Oh, sure, that's not a real thing, but what difference does it make when you're BUSTING WAX!?  Yeah, that's right. I'm still cookin' here.  Maybe a little Pack-punch drunk, but still groovin just the same.  Thanks for coming along with me.

Reaching into the pack box, I grab: 2006 Topps Opening Day - with Bazooka Gum in every pack!

Alfonso Soriano - Nationals
Luis Castillo - Twins
Dmitri Young - Tigers
Rich Harden - A's

Wily Mo Pena - Reds
Nick Swisher - A's
Jack Wilson - Pirates - Sports Illustrated for Kids MAX ACTION
Work Hard, Get Cards insert

The "Max Action" card is pretty cool, though closer inspection sure makes it look like a bad photoshop job there to the left near his head.  I can only assume that his jersey is riding up weirdly as he's running.  Otherwise, someone lopped off half his shoulder there.

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.
