Things are clicking along with the baseball season. So, we're not quite two weeks into things. How is your favorite team doing? How about your fantasy team? I know, I know. You're just here for the cards. Well, today, I'm opening a pack of 2011 Topps Update. Let's see what happens:
Koyie Hill - Cubs
Trevor Bell - Angels
Wilson Valdez - Phillies
Logan Forsythe - Padres
Joel Peralta - Rays
Brandon League - Mariners
Koji Uehara - Rangers Gold (0111/2011)
Bruce Chen - Royals - Sparkly Silver Refractor Thingy
CJ Wilson - Rangers
Kevin Youkilis - Red Sox
Blake Beavan - Mariners
Zack Cozart - Reds
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:
For the 10th day of the baseball season, I decided to open up a pack of 1997 Pinnacle Hobby. Oh, I know what you're thinking; "Man, we've already seen two of these. Come on, dude!" Well, here's a curveball: These are the 1997 Pinnacle Hobby *NEW* Version. Yeah, that's right. Things weren't confusing enough trying to collect Pinnacle in '97 with all their variations, team sets, etc. They needed TWO versions of their base trading cards - the original and the *NEW* ones.
Let's see what awesomely good newness we end up with here:
Scott Rolen - Rookie - Phillies
Bill Pulsipher - Mets
Terry Steinbach - Twins
Michael Tucker - Braves
Andy Pettitte - Yankees
Gary Sheffield - Marlins
Darin Erstad - Angels
Will Clark - Rangers
Kevin Orie - Rookie - Cubs
Ismael Valdes - Dodgers
