182 Packs of baseball - 090 -

I hope everyone is doing well!  My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by the recent storms and horrendous wildfires across our country.  I realize that opening packs of cards is nothing compared to what many of you may be going through, and I just wanted you to know that I am praying.

Turning our eyes toward today's pack of cards, we find 2009 O-Pee-Chee:

Brian Anderson - White Sox
Scott Feldman - Rangers (Black Border)


Kerry Wood - Cubs - 20th Anniversary Retrospective
Jose Reyes - Mets - Moments

Saul Rivera - Nationals
Ken Griffey Jr - Mariners

Well, not a bad mix of players.  The Rivera card looks cool with all the matching reds. The Reyes card celebrates a guy who fell short of hitting for the cycle. Wow, not sure I would want *that* to be a celebrated "moment."



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.

Also, you are welcome to claim teams/players (Max 3 total). Rules are at the following:
