2008 - Upper Deck Baseball - Bust #0014

This post contains couple of firsts for Busting Wax dot com. First, is my new photo/camera set up. Gone are my fat fingers from the pictures. I’ve set myself up a little stand for my cards, so the pictures look a little better. I’ll also be cropping the cards differently, so hopefully that improves the look of things as well. I am still working out kinks like proper lighting, but I think it’s an improvement. This is also my first 2008 product that I’ve busted. I bought it at a card show last month, I’m just now getting around to posting it. Finally, I’m not including a picture of every player for this pack, since the hobby UD packs have 20 cards and I just don’t have anything to say about most of these guys. I’ll give the list of the contents, then post some pictures of a few of these cards.
Let’s get on with the bust!
This isn’t my best side-view shot, but you can see that one of those cards in there is not like the others. Jersey city, here we come.
The Contents
49 - Willie Harris
10 - Garret Anderson
208 - Adam LaRoche
130 - Franklin Gutierrez - Goot! The first Indian of the year is the young, promising Gutierrez. He had a strong July last year, which unfortunately didn’t carry into October, but I think Franklin has a strong future. Hopefully it’s in Cleveland.
247 - Todd Helton
272 - Boof Bonser
116 - Bengie Molina
56 - Johnny Estrada
136 - Brandon Morrow
UD-JP - Jake Peavy UD Jersey - Not the best jersey card, but I’m not going to complain. First HIT of the year is a jersey from a decent pitcher. It could have been worse!
12 - Wandy Rodriguez
186 - Josh Bard
108 - Nomar Garciaparra
225 - Manny Delcarmen
69 - Jim Edmonds - A lot of people are commenting on the excellent photography that Upper Deck is hitting us with in this set. This nice Edmonds shot convinces me to concur.
350 - Bill White RC
341 - Bronson Sardinha
359 - BJ Upton Team Checklist
315 - Harvey Garcia
386 - Frank Thomas Season Highlights
To Recap:
Pack: 2008 Upper Deck Baseball (Hobby)
Cost: $5.00
The Pulls:
(I’m not going to list everything again, just the good ones)
UD-JP - Jake Peavy UD Jersey
Verdict - Yeah, outside of the Peavy Jersey, this pack was kind of a disappointment. Nevertheless, this was a fun first pack for 2008. Here’s to hoping the hits keep coming.
