I usually pick up Jumbo packs from the hobby store, but they were out, so I had to settle for some packs. No worries, I’ve got a good feeling.

The Contents

284 – Lance Broadway RC
179 – Chris Young Postseason Highlights

330 - Curtis Granderson
330 – Curtis Granderson – This picture is cracking me up. His signature is a big scribble and it’s all over his crotchal region. It reminds me of what kids used to do to their yearbooks, scribbling over kids faces they didn’t like. I don’t know why I was reminded of that, but I LOL’ed nonetheless.

198 – Shannon Stewart
167 – Jason Hirsh
185 – Yunel Escobar

195 - Todd Helton Black195 – Todd Helton Black (40/57) – Alright, a very nice looking black bordered Todd Helton. Numbered cards excite me.
103 – Jonathan Albaladejo Gold Foil – These guys and their names! Pity the radio announcer when this guy pitches.
122 – Jason Varitek
52 – Trevor Hoffman

To recap:
Pack: 2008 Topps Baseball (Hobby)
Cost: $2.00

The pulls:
195 – Todd Helton Black (40/57)

The verdict: I’m not sure what the black variations are worth, but I really like the way this version of the card looks. I hope to get more of these.
