I pulled an auto in my first blaster which is posted here. Can I do it again?
Here are the results of my second Chicle blaster.
Pack 1
#226 Phil Rizzuto
#216 Bob Gibson
#190 Orlando Hudson
#226 Phil Rizzuto National Chicle back (1:4)--That's right, two Rizzutos in one pack. Lucky me.
#164 Andre Ethier--not a bad card
Pack 2
#111 Paul Konerko
#56 B.J. Upton
#140 Javier Vazquez
#170 Jair Jurrgens Bazooka Back (1:8)
#234 Tris Speaker--It works for me.
#6 Joba Chamberlain
#31 Jayson Werth
#225 Mike Schmidt--Not good
#298 Joe Morgan SP--brilliant. Give Joe a big head (how appropriate is that) and put him in an Astros uni. I love it.
#54 Yunel Escobar
#84 Hanley Ramirez
Pack 4
#121 Yovani Gallardo
#176 Aaron Rowand
#181 John Maine
#70 Cliff Lee
#169 Denard Span
Pack 5
#251 Richie Ashburn
#231 Honus Wagner
#30 Michael Cuddyer
#208 Luis Aparicio National Chicle back
#199 Trevor Crowe
#3 Ichiro
Pack 6
#161 Juan Pierre
#116 Carlos Beltran
#175 Dexter Fowler
NCA-CC Carlos Carrasco auto (1:157)--not in the majors, but on-card. Still a bad choice.
#19 Jay Bruce
Pack 7
#76 Victor Martinez
#1 Albert Pujols
#299 Reggie Jackson SP--Wow. That's all I can say.
#55 Carl Crawford--That is just...I don't know. I'm no artist, but yikes.
#104 Justin Upton
Pack 8
#236 George Sisler
#271 Brent Dlugach
#256 Tyler Flowers
#85 Justin Verlander
#159 Kenshin Kawakami
#194 Tim Lincecum
You aren't kidding about the hit or miss. Honus Wagner looks like an evil ogre from a fairy tale and Schmidt looks like a wax museum figure. The Reggie is sweet!
ReplyDeleteHey hey, be kind. Painting people is rediculously hard! Capturing a likeness of a person's face is very tough, never mind trying to make their skin look life-like. You hapopened to get a blaster full of some of the lesser quality paintings. I am most certainly trying to collect this set. If you check out my blog nrmtcards.blogspot.com I will have a wantlist shortly.
ReplyDeleteNice job....as the Scooter would say, "Holy Cow!"
ReplyDeleteWith Ichiro, Aparicio, Lincecum, Sisler, Jay Bruce and Reggie as an Oriole, I would have loved to get this blaster. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteNMCLAX24...While I do find some of the art a little odd, even questionable for use in the set, I don't belittle the ability of anyone who can sketch/paint these players. I have absolutely no talent in this area as I could barely do a stick figure.
