PAD Circus - Pack 160 - eTopps Surprise!

Heya! On the day my family left for a mini vacation (last Thursday, meaning the Thursday previous to the post date of this pack break), I received several things in the mail: My 2016 A&G Hobby Box for Gint-A-Cuffs, 10 packs of 2006 Razor Poker, and a slew of eTopps that I had in my portfolio from years ago.

eTopps had a shipping "special" so I took them up on it and closed out my portfolio. For me, it was a very sad day. I loved eTopps once I understood what it was and how it worked. I was one of the few fans who protested the closure of eTopps. Of course, Topps has basically rebranded them with their "ToppsNOW" product as of late, but I've decided to pick up any Indians cards in the aftermarket.

In any case, I have a slew of baseball cards that shall serve as a "pack" of eTopps! They are from various years:

Richie Sexson - Brewers 2002 - Jacksonville Jobu (Wahoo!!)
David Wright - Mets 2009 - Buckstore Cards (Wahoo!!)
Victor Martinez - Indians 2004 - Enamel Rods (Wahoo!!)
Junior Spivey - Diamondbacks 2002 - Alec (Wahoo!!)
Bobby Crosby - A's 2004 - dayf (Wahoo!!)
Eric Gagne - Dodgers 2003 - Night Owl (Wahoo!!)
Rocco Baldelli - Rays 2003 - TSHenson (Wahoo!!)

Congratulations, managers! Hope these are some cards you need for your personal collections!

as I mentioned, I got my hobby box of 2016 A&G. Once gint-a-cuffs (http://gintacuffs.blogspot.com) kicks off, I will be busting open the box and YOU GUYS (and gals) get the spoils!! WAHOO!!
