Busting Wax

I’m back from the dead, and not a moment too soon. I’ve got some 2008 Baseball to bust, but I’ve got a backlog of previous busts that I never got around to posting. So these are going to be coming fast and furious!

It’s the next pack of the Target Box, this time it’s a 2005 Leaf Rookies and Stars. I don’t mind the Leaf line, but I’ve never really collected very much of it, so I’m willing to give it a try. I still don’t know if this pack was the “Bonus” advertised on the box or if someone tried to add an extra pack to their purchase, but either way, let’s rip into it:

I was trying a new lighting set up for these photos, so the colors are weird. I stopped using this set up already.

6 - Warrick Dunn - I’ve always like Dunn. He’s one of those guys that wasn’t “supposed” to make it in the NFL, yet here he is, a mainstay in the league.

64 - Plaxico Burress - Member of the “All-Name Team” and now a superbowl hero.

22 - Rudi Johnson - Not much to say for Rudi. Hugely disappointing 2007 season. Hope you didn’t pick him early in your fantasy draft.

79 - Antonio Gates - There is something about me and pulling Gates cards. Maybe it’s because we share a first name or something, but I seem to pull his cards a whole heck of a lot of time.

175 - Ryan Riddle - Don’t have much to say here.

To Recap:
Pack: 2005 Leaf Rookies & Stars Football
Price: Stowaway from Target Box

Pulls:
6 - Warrick Dunn
64 - Plaixco Burress
22 - Rudi Johnson
79 - Antonio Gates
175 - Ryan Riddle

Verdict: As far as pack names go, this one is a misnomer. This pack contained neither stars nor rookies (that I care about). Blech.
