Quick Packs... And A Contest Pimp

Yeah you probably clicked because of the contest.  Let's get that out of the way first.  I'm not entering this contest, not because its not a cool prize, but because I just bought some boxes and don't need any.

Enticing enough?  I thought so.

So let's get to today's post.  It's not long, but it is three scans.  So let's take a look.

Two more packs, yeah, I eat too much pizza.  Good news is the top cards were all ones I didn't have, and one on the bottom I didn't have either.   I'm edging closer to get half done.  My friend got a pack the other day and he's not too interested in them, so were are working on a trade, which will net me three more I don't have.  Maybe I can finish this set this year.  Thank goodness I'm not chasing the New Era cards.

I used a coupon from the pizza packs to get a jumbo pack of series one cards.  Here's what I got.  A silver MLB Debut of Nolan Ryan, which is only the second Silver version I've pulled.  I might try to work on the set, but probably mix and match the silver and bronze cards to finish the set.  Other inserts include a rainbow parallel of Chris Heston, a Wrigley insert of Kris Bryant, and a Perspectives of Yadi (which isn't too bad since his name doesn't really overshadow the rest of the card like some of the others.  As for base, I needed the David Freese and I think the Jay Bruce.  The Escobar was a double but will go into my Royals collection, so its all good.

Other base cards I got were... um, these.  Most of these were ones I didn't have yet.  I got about 10 or 12 new base cards so it was actually a pretty good pack.  I hope to finish the set at some point, but with series two coming out soon, I'm not sure how much closer I can get.

So that wraps it up for today, not the longest post, but I've been preoccupied a bit tonight with stuff on TV and other non-important stuff, so might as well end it now.  Thanks for reading and have a great night.
