182 Packs of Baseball - 087 - Bye, June

Today, we bid farewell to the month of June. It's been a great month for busting wax.  before we leave it behind, however, we have one more pack to open this month:

1986 Donruss ML All-Stars

You would have thought a "1986" pack of cards would have been perfect for yesterday, given it was the 86th day. I guess the cardboard gods were not with us.  Or maybe they were. We showed some nice cards. Hakuna Matata - it's in the past now!

Hank Aaron Puzzle - 55, 56, 57
LaMarr Hoyt - Padres

Ron Darling - Mets
Gary Ward - Rangers
Ryne Sandberg - Cubs

I think we may have seen this exact set of cards in a previous break. It sure feels like it, anyway. The upside and downside (at the same time) to this particular set is that there are a limted number of cards in the set and I have a ton of packs of them. So, like it or not, we'll be seeing a lot of duplication. I just hope it works out for everyone.

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.
