I bought it because I was bored

I was at the local Target and just happened to walk by the card aisle. Or maybe I walked straight to the card aisle. I forget.

I don't think I can purchase any more 2010 Topps Series 1. I have almost 3 complete sets, plus a ton of other base and insert dupes. I don't really want to buy any more Heritage. I'm nowhere near the complete set, but I'd rather trade for what I need.

So, I took the $10 I had to spend and bought one of those 10 pack things that hangs there as a last resort and sells for $9.99. It's the kind where some idiot, I mean hard working person, hot glues the packs to a piece of cardboard to keep them in place. The four packs I could see were 2007 Bowman, 2008 Heritage High Numbers, 2007 UD Series 2 and 2007 Fleer Ultra. I scanned one card per pack (or not) and lets see what turned up.


2003 Upper Deck Victory (big shocker here) 6 cards
These had a "collectible card gaming element". It says so right on the pack.

Shannon Stewart, Blue Jays--Single
Mo Vaughn, Mets--Ground out
Jim Thome, Phillies--Foul out
Jose Vidro, Expos--Walk
Matt Lawton, Indians--Homerun



Nomar Garciaparra Laying it on the Line Insert (1:5)

2007 Fleer Ultra Pack 2 5 cards

Eric Byrnes, Diamondbacks
Garrett Atkins, Rockies

Joe Mauer Hitting Machine, Twins--The best card in the package in my opinion.


2008 Heritage High Numbers 6 cars + 2 UH--No scans, this pack was too boring

Alexi Casilla, Twins
Cody Ross, Marlins
Jo-Jo Reyes, Braves
Sidney Ponson, Yankees
Jose Molina, Yankees
Gabe Gross, Rays

Jose Arredondo UH, Angels


2007 Upper Deck Series 2 5 cards

Aubrey Huff, Orioles
Randy Winn, Giants
Alejandro De Aza, Marlins

Johnny Damon Game Materials Jersey, Yankees

This pack doesn't have a guaranteed hit, but I pulled one anyway. Of course it has to be a Yankee.

Now, don't push and shove, but the Joe Mauer is the only card I'm adding to my PC so these are available if you need/want any of them.
