6 Packs of Ginter

Slow down.

Don't get too excited. These aren't 2010 packs.

I went to Target to spend two $10 gift cards on something from the card rack. I picked up a Chicle blaster, which I'll be posting soon. I also found 6 of these.




2008 Ginter packs in the discount box. I never find anything good in the discount box. Well, never anything that I want to buy, so I was glad to find these.



I wasn't back into collecting when these were fresh and new and I've only managed to pick up a few through trades. I'd like to put the set together, but it's not a high priority. Anyway, here is what my retail finds gave up.

#211 Josh Hamilton--my first Ranger, but I may have received this in a trade package before

#124 Greg Maddux

#78 Ivan Rodriguez

#278 Kevin Van Dam regular back mini--a little fisherman who catches big fish

#288 Pete Weber--what a way to finish...a fisherman and a bowler

I only got one SP in 6 packs even though the odds are 1:2 packs. Otherwise, I'd say pretty standard for retail. I'd buy more, just to bust them. Do you think 2010 Ginter will ever be in the discount box? I'd say no, since they'll all be purchased before that happens.
