1995 Score 'Summit Edition'

There are 200 cards in the base, which includes 15 Bat speed, 5 Special delivery and 7 Checklists.
There are the inserts 200 Nth Degree, 20 Big Bangs, 15 New Age and 9 Club.
The pack:
#152 Steve Rodriguez Rookie Yankees
#182 Will Clark Bat Speed Rangers
#32 Kirby Puckett Twins
#29 Greg Colbrunn Marlins
#192 Mike Mussina Special Delivery Orioles
#97 Randy Johnson Mariners
#55 John Olerud Blue Jays


There is a big message on these cards about Be Strong. Don't do drugs. Then they go and name the inserts so they sound like some sort of drug.
Nth Degree, 21 Club, New Age and Big Bang. I mean come on! That is just careless!
There are no Red Sox in this packs, although confusingly a Red Sox uniform with a Yankees logo. Traded perhaps?

2008 Upper Deck Timeline

There are 100 cards in the base set of Timelines.
There are inserts 30 1992 UD Minor League design , 50 1994 UD All-Time Heroes design , 50 1994 SP Rookies design, 25 1995 SP Rookies design, 30 1995 SP Top Prospects design and 100 2004 UD Timelines design. This takes the total to 385 cards in the set. There are autographs of each of these cards, also gold and silver variations.
There are Cut signatures, Memorabilia and USA baseball signatures.
Confused? Please try and keep up!
I bought 3 packs from e-bay out of interest. The seller was also selling 'Hot Packs', so no memorabilia or autos here then.


Pack 1:
#2 David Wright Mets
#47 Josh Hamilton Rangers
#87 Wladimir Balentien Mariners
#128 Russell Martin Dodgers (1992 Minor league)
#132 Frank Thomas A's (1994 All-time Heroes)
#205 Ross Ohlendorf Pirates (1995 Top Prospects)
#284 Cole Hamels Phillies (2004 Timeless team)
#313 Kosuke Fukudome Cubs (1994 SP Rookie)
Pack 2:
#24 Matt Holliday Rockies
#42 Joe Mauer Twins
#96 Carlos Gonzalez A's
#102 Brandon Phillips Reds (1992 Minor league)
#157 Travis Hafner Indians (1994 All-time Heroes)
#187 Clayton Kershaw Dodgers (1995 Top Prospects)
#201 Nick Blackburn Twins (1995 Top Prospects)
#225 Daisuke Matsuzaka Red Sox ( 2004 Timeless team)
Pack 3:
#20 Albert Pujols Cardinals
#47 Josh Hamilton Rangers Gold
#69 Micah Hoffpauir Cubs
#108 David Murphy Rangers (1992 Minor league)
#177 Joey Votto Reds (1994 All-time Heroes)
#228 Justin Masterson Red Sox (2004 Timeless team) 042/100
#298 Jeff Clement Mariners (2004 Timeless team)
#373 Alberto Gonzalez Nationals (1995 Premier Prospect) Gold

I must say, I like the idea of this set but there is just too many inserts. Why not keep it simple?
There were only 2 Red Sox in the three packs. The Justin Masterson was a beauty though.

2008 Stadium Club Blaster

I wanted to see these cards for myself, so bought a blaster a while ago on e-bay. It arrived today. There are 8 packs of 5 cards. There is a rookie in each pack, or so they say.

Pack 1
#138 Justin Masterson 1st
#112 Joey Votto
#83 Chipper Jones
#25 Edinson Volquez
#130 Brain Barton RC

Pack 2
#24 Justin Upson 1st
#115 Brandon Boggs RC
#76 Johan Santana
#37 Hanley Ramirez
#31 Carl Crawford

Pack 3
#68 Gary Sheffield
#11 David Ortiz
#104 Gregor Blanco RC
#101 Luke Hochevar
#42 Carlos Pena 1st
Checklist

Pack 4

#55 Jose Reyes

Pack 7
#57 Roy Oswalt 1st
#22 Nick Markakis
#79 Derrek Lee
#17 B.J.Upton
#32 Roy Halladay
Checklist

Pack 8
#108 Evan Longoria RC 1st
#130 Brian Barton RC numbered 714/999 !
#116 Johnny Cueto RC
#4 Todd Helton
#29 Delmon Young

This is my favourite shot from all the cards I pulled.


According to the checklist there are 150 base cards, of which 50 are Rookies. A further 35 Autographed rookie cards and 50 Beam Team Autographs.I pulled 31 base cards, 9 rookies (1 double) and 0 autographs, but there were 4 Red Sox cards. It is always Dustin or David, never Jacoby!

The card 130 is a mystery to me, two different pictures, same player. One is numbered ?

1988 Topps

Each pack contains 15 cards and 1 stick of gum.
The are 792 cards in the set which included the subsets Future Stars, Topps All-Star Rookies, Record Breakers, Turn Back The Clock, All-Stars, Team Leaders, Checklists and Manager cards.
The numbers and subsets are very similar to the 1987 set. Why change a winning formula?

Pack 1:
#7 '87 Record Breaker Benny Santiago Padres
#25 Andres Galarraga Expos
#132 Donnie Hill White Sox
#181 Dave Cone Mets
#197 Lance McCullers Padres
#273 Garth Iorg Blue Jays
#332 Jerry Reed Mariners

#429 Tigers Team Leaders
#455 Shawn Hillegas Dodgers
#549 Braves Team Leaders
#643 Rocky Childress Astros
#720 Tim Raines Expos
#747 Bobby Witt Rangers
#768 Dickie Noles Cubs
I received this pack as part of a trade with Ed. 4 inserts in the pack but not a Red Sox in sight.

2008 Topps Heritage High Numbers

The correct name for this set is the mind numbing Topps Baseball Updates and Highlights presents Topps Heritage High Number Series. In other words Series 2.
Two packs of these arrived from Spiff at Texas Rangers cards.
There are 8 cards per pack, 6 Heritage and 2 Updates and Highlights., not forgetting the 1 piece of bubble gum.
There are 220 High Numbers in the set (#501 - #720), including the 35 Short prints.
There are 35 Short printed Black backs, 15 Rookie Performers and 10 Then and Now inserts.
There are also Chrome cards, Refractors and Black border Refractors.
There are 330 cards in the Updates and Highlights set.


Pack 1:
#UH39 Jose Molina Yankees
#UH 109 Alberto Callaspo Royals
#519 Max Scherzer DBacks RC
#526 C.J.Wison Rangers
#606 Brian Moehler Astros
#612 Jeff Baker Rockies
#665 Texas Rangers checklist
#669 Aaron Miles Cardinals

Pack 2:
#UH32 Cody Ross Marlins
#UH99 Combos Ramirez & Ortiz
#C228 Manny Parra Brewers 503/559
#553 Brandon Lyon DBacks
#603 Joel Pineiro Cardinals
#613 Houston Astros checklist
#625 Greg Dobbs Phillies
#666 Jason Michaels Pirates


These were pretty good packs. A numbered chrome very nice. A Ramirez and Ortiz, but not Manny and Big Papi, Hanley and Big Papi. Still a Red Sox card nonetheless.

1992 DONRUSS series two

These packs contains 15 cards.
The regular set consists of 784 cards which were issued in two separate series of 396.
The inserts (or subsets) include Rated Rookies , All-Stars and Highlights.
Series one were in blue foil packs and Series two in red foil packs.
Pack 1:
#BC2 Terry Pendelton NL MVP
#BC7 Colorado Rockies
#421 Lance Dickson RR Cubs
#701 Jim Lindeman Phillies
#705 Jaime Navarro Brewers
#709 John Cerutti Tigers
#714 Mitch Webster Dodgers
#719 Sid Fernandez Mets
#734 Billy Ripkin Orioles
#739 Tony Castillo Mets
#740 Sammy Sosa White Sox
#743 Steve Wapnick White Sox
#745 Darrin Chapin Yankees
#748 Rosario Rodriguez Pirates
#783 Bryan Hickerson Giants

Pack 2:
#429 Ryne Sandberg AS Cubs
#555 Gossage and Ryan Highlights Rangers
#560 Luis Alicea Cardinals
#564 Deion Sanders Braves
#565 Walt Terrell Tigers
#570 Scott Cooper Red Sox
#609 Carlos Quintana Red Sox
#612 Daryl Boston Mets

#641 Omar Vizquel Mariners
#642 Rick Sutcliffe Cubs
#646 Jack Howell Padres
#650 Chuck McElroy Cubs
#655 Scott Ray Cardinals
#660 Steve Frey Expos

The second pack had 3 Red Sox, which is a surprising ratio. These cards didn't set the card collecting world alight and I bought 6 packs for 99p on e-bay UK. The design is not stimulating but the players pictures on the front are large and usually action shots. The Colorado Rockies logo was the first of the type I had seen from this set. I presume it was because they were an expansion team.

Monday 22 December 2008

2008 Upper Deck Goudey

My favourite set from 2008 was

Goudey

These are the 0 cards I need to complete the base set of 230 cards.





Sunday 21 December 2008

1987 Topps

Each pack contained 17 cards and 1 stick of gum.
There was 792 cards in the set which included the subsets Future Stars, Topps All-Star Rookies, Record Breakers, Turn Back The Clock, All-Stars, Team Leaders, Checklists and Manager cards.
An interesting feature of these cards is that each card had a wood grain background.

I have the entire set of Red Sox for this particular set but enjoy openeing packs so much that i will always bid if they come up on e-bay. I gave two away to another collector here in the UK.

Pack 1:
#101 Carl Willis Reds
#116 Bill Russell Dodgers
#119 Ron Robinson Reds
#252 Denny Martinez Expos
#365 Rick Rhoden Pirates
#349 Storm Davies Orioles
#546 Mike Morgan Mariners
#575 Pat Tabler Indians
#576 Frank Pastore Twins
#598 Ozzie Smith All Stars
#619 Jerry Reed Mariners
#649 Mickey Tettleton A's
#652 Terry Foster Angels
#741 Paul Molitor Brewers
#752 Dan Petry Tigers
#774 Wayne Krenchicki Expos

Pack 2:
#74 Dan Pasqua Yankees
#123 John Kruk Padres
#148 Dave Collins Tigers
#183 Andy Hawkins Padres
#222 Denny Walling Astros
#380 Rich Gossage Padres
#400 George Brett Royals
#414 Joe Orsulak Pirates
#419 Mark Portugal Twins
#446 Chuck Finley Angels
#518 Gene Mauch Angels
#645 Dwight Evans Red Sox
#674 Bill Campbell Tigers
#700 Dave Bergman Tigers
#713 Tom Brookens Tigers
#736 Steve Bedrosian Phillies
#759 Joel Youngblood Giants
#776 Tom Brunansky Twins

I purchased these cards from the same seller on e-bay UK as the 1983 Topps, although there was some interest in the 1983 Topps, there was none for these 4 packs and I won with one speculative bid.

Again 1 Red Sox hit. The cards are in excllent condition and as always with this seller, the cards had not been pre-opened and searched.

2007 SP Legendary Cuts

The pack contains 4 cards.
There are 100 cards in the base set.
There are inserts Legendary Lineage Die cuts (numbered to 550)
There are parallels galore Legendary Material ,When It Was A Game, Masterful Material, Inside the Numbers, A Stitch in time, Material Signatures (numbered to 10), Legendary Signatures (numbered to 199), Legendary Materials (numbered to 199), Legendary Americana (numbered to 550), Material Cuts (numbered between 5 and 1),Legendary Team Cuts (1 of 1), Legendary Quad Cuts (1 of 1), Dual cuts (1 of 1), Signature Cuts (1 of 1),Quotation Cuts (numbers vary), Hall of Fame Cuts, Historical Cuts.
Cuts, cuts and more cuts.
I bought three packs, knowing full well that there would be just base cards.

Pack 1:
#1 Phil Niekro Braves
#16 Ernie Banks Cubs
#30 Lou Boudreau Reds
#85 Satchel Paige St. Louis
Pack 2:
#2 Brooks Robinson Orioles
#21 Nellie Fox White Sox
#29 Bob Lemon Indians
#86 George Sisler St. Louis
Pack 3:
#15 Rod Carew Angels
#44 Kirby Puckett Twins
#72 Steve Carlton Phillies
#99 Vern Stephens Red Sox

I like the look of these cards. The black background marble effect works for me. Photographs in black and white, the player surrounded by a red oval, sometimes breaking free of the confines and the gold lettering. It all fits very well. Only 100 base cards to collect, a box should do...how much were they again?

Friday 19 December 2008

2003 FLEER Authentix

These packs contained 5 cards. There is a possibility of a memorbilia card in every 8 packs.
The regular set consists of 100 base cards, 10 Future Stars, 15 Tickets to the Majors (numbered to 1,850).
There are inserts Ticket Stubs and Ballpark Classics.
The parallels are Balcony (numbered to 250), Club Box (numbered to 100) and Standing Room (numbered to 25).
Base cards:
#2 Tom Glavine Braves
#21 Moises Alou Cubs
#35 Raul Ibanez Royals
#95 Paul Konerko White Sox
Insert:
#108 Future Star Michael Restovich Twins
A nice concept. Cards that look like tickets, number, tear off section, darker colours. All that effort and they use the same stadium picture on the back of the card. I would rather have the ticket to be honest. No Red Sox again.

1983 Topps

I bought these packs from e-bay UK. If packs ever come up in the UK, I will bid. The seller had 1987 Topps and 1988 Fleer as well. I won this lot of 3 packs of 1983 Topps. I like the design of the 1980's cards, in particular 1980 to 1984 (although I could take or leave the 1982 'hockey stick' design). I have bought from this seller 'derbymark' before and I can safely say he hasn't searched these packs.

Each pack contains 15 cards and 1 stick of gum. There are 792 cards in the set which includes sub-sets; All-stars, League Leaders, Record Breakers, Super Veteran and Team Leader cards.

Pack 1:
#44 Don Robinson Pirates
#64 Bill Stein Rangers
#143 Joe Pettini Giants
#181 Terry Felton Twins
#287 Bobby Brown Mariners
#289 Jerry Dybzinski Indians
#343 Bob Bailor Mets
#461 Steve Trout White Sox
#488 Alfredo Griffin Blue Jays
#489 Tom Herr Cardinals
#532 Dave Stewart Dodgers
#612 Steve Swisher Padres
#696 Chuck Tanner Pirates
#731 Al Williams Twins
#766 Barry Bonnell Blue Jays

Pack 2:
#52 Onix Concepcion Royals
#174 Jerry Ujdur Tigers
#198 Kiko Garcia Astros
#246 George Bamberger Mets
#278 Kevin Hickey White Sox
#301 Mike Schmidt Super Veteran
#327 Bobby Castillo Twins
#358 Jerry Garvin Blue Jays
#385 Mike Easler Pirates
#525 Frank White Royals
#598 Dwayne Murphy A's
#629 Charlie Lea Expos
#651 Angels Checklist
#761 Gary Lucas Padres
#792 Chris Chambliss Braves

Pack 3:
#15 Ron Cey Dodgers
#88 Jim Gantner Brewers
#91 Larry Milbourne Indians
#132 Todd Cruz Mariners
#227 Chris Bando Indians
#297 Ned Yost Brewers
#241 Rich Gossage Super Veteran
#381 Red Sox Checklist
#390 Reggie Jackson All Star
#393 Carlton Fisk All Star
#528 Jamie Easterly Brewers
#545 Floyd Bannister Mariners
#573 Andy Hassler Angels
#663 Tom O'Malley Giants
#739 Rick Ownbey Mets

Disappointingly one Red Sox in 45 cards. It also says on the wrapper that there should have been a 'Winning Line-up' game card inside. There wasn't one in any of these packs, they are needed to purchase the 5 card collectors sets and its too late to obtain a free game card as that finished on the 15th December 1983. Oh well.
These cards are in excellent condition, cannot say the same for the sticks of gum!

Wednesday 17 December 2008

2003 FLEER Showcase

The pack contains 5 cards.
The regular set consists 105 basic cards and 10 Showcasing talent cards.
There are inserts SweetStitch.
There is a parallel set Legacy (numbered to 150) and Masterpieces (numbered 1 of 1).
Base cards:
#80 Kazuhisa Ishii Dodgers
#84 Scott Rolen Cardinals
#91 Craig Biggio Astros
#93 Austin Kearns Reds
#98 Robin Yount Brewers

Really nice looking cards. A plain grey outer border and off white inner border with the gloss player picture on a matt background, that makes the player stand out. Good card stock. I bought these from a seller on e-bay who was also selling 'hit' packs, so I guessed there would be nothing but base cards in here. Pity there were no Red Sox.

Tuesday 16 December 2008

2003 FLEER Platinum Jumbo Pack

This jumbo pack contained 25 cards.
The regular set consists of 200 base cards, 20 unsung heroes, 15 prospects.
There are inserts Guts and Glory, MLB scouting report, Portraits and Heart of the Order.
There is a parallel set ~Platinum Finish, numbered to 100.


Base cards:
#7 Jose Cruz Jr Blue Jays
#13 Eric Milton Twins
#14 Andy Pettitte Yankees
#43 Johnny Damon Red Sox
#44 Ken Griffey Junior Reds
#49 Mark Prior Cubs
#50 Kip Wells Pirates
#73 Jamie Moyer Mariners
#74 Brad Radke Twins
#92 Ivan Rodriguez Rangers
#93 Steve Finley Diamondbacks
#118 Vernon Wells Blue Jays
#124 Sean Burroughs Padres
#128 Bobby Higginson Tigers
#145 Javier Varquez Expos
#152 Jermaine Dye Athletics
#167 Tim Salmon Angels
#172 Jeff Conine Orioles
#185 John Smoltz Braves

Inserts:
#209 Unsung Heroes Mike Lowell Marlins

#211 Unsung Heroes Eric Hinske Blue Jays
#218 Unsung Heroes Jason Jennings Rockies

#223 Prospects Bobby Jenks Angels

#16/20 Heart of the Order Cardinals

Greg of Night Owl would be happy with these colours. I am not sure about the yellow and blue stripes. The inserts are a nice design and 5 inserts out of 25 is a pretty good ratio.

Monday 15 December 2008

First Post

Busting packs is something that all card collectors like to do. The popularity of 'A Pack a Day' shows the seriousness with which people open packs. I believe that most collectors are not looking for the 'HITS' in a pack, although it is an added bonus to get a short print, an autograph, a numbered card, a relic and even a card you need to complete a set. As another collector exquisitely described it '..the thrill of the hunt..'
I have been keeping of a record of the packs I bust for a while now and the intention of this blog is to share the packs I open.
I keep all the Red Sox cards and try to trade the rest.
