1/2-Priced Blasters… from Target?!?!
But they never have ANY cards on sale. They did on Sunday Sunday Sunday though, so I got some 2008 stinkers they finally got desperate enough to slash the price on: 2008 Bowman football and pretty f*ckup 2008 Stadium Club baseball. I can get behind those for $10 instead of $20, so I did. Let’s see how I did.
2008 Bowman Football (7 packs, 5 cards per pack, guaranteed jersey per blaster)
I should mention that, being mostly rookies, I’m not going to know very many of these guys, because in four weeks this year I’ve probably seen twice as much football as I saw all of last year. With that said, here’s
Pack 1
125 Andre Fluellen Lions RC
139 Bryan Kehl Football Giants RC
152 Zack Bowman Bears RC- Keeper!
157 Chaz Schilens Raiders RC Gold Parallel
BC32 Paul Hubbard Browns RC Chrome
Pack 2
56 Chad Ochocinco (Johnson)
46 Larry Johnson
99 Dallas Clark
245 Tavares Gooden Ravens RC Gold Parallel
BC27 Jack Williams Broncos RC Chrome
Scoring Drive ad- They still put these in packs?
Pack 3
56 Chad Ochocinco (Johnson)- I
46 Larry Johnson- Got
99 Dallas Clark- Bipped!
52 Michael Turner Gold Parallel
BC18 Justin King Rams RC Chrome
Checklist 1 of 3
Scoring Drive waste of tree. Seriously, they killed a tree to make these stupid ads!
Now I understand why topps makes you open their blasters from the bottom… at least they kicked me a jersey and parallel of a starting QB this time.
Pack 4
170 Joe Flacco Ravens RC- Sadly it wasn’t this starting QB.
225 Sam Baker Falcons RC
238 Calais Campbell Cardinals RC
228 Sedrick Ellis Saints RC Gold Parallel
BC9 Brad Cottam Chiefs RC Chrome
Scoring Drive blah blah blah. Just know there was one in every effin pack. :/
Pack 5
256 Shawn Crable Patriots RC
232 Dre Moore Bucs RC
247 Philip Wheeler Colts RC
124 Tom Zbikowski Ravens RC Gold Parallel
BC4 Duane Brown Texans RC Chrome
Pack 6
159 Timothy Hightower Cardinals RC- Tim Hightower = badass, Timothy Hightower = NERD!!
156 Jerome Felton Lions RC
147 Kenneth Moore Lions RC
167 Brian Brohm Packers RC Gold Parallel
BC39 Jalen Parmele Dolphins RC Chrome
Pack 7
18 Jeff Garcia- Most underrated QB ever?
31 Marion Barber
175 Josh Johnson Bucs RC Blue Parallel #ed 184/500- I didn’t say it was an amazing starting QB. He’s starting now though, so that’s pretty cool.
23 Tarvaris Jackson Gold Parallel
BC30 Justin Tryon Redskins RC
The jersey was in it’s own separate lil cello pack, and it was…
DJ-JL Jake Long Draft Day Jersey- An offensive lineman, but I’m not complaining. He’s quality.
2008 Stadium Club (8 packs, 5 cards per pack)
The odds were pretty astronomical with 1:60 packs being the easiest pull for ANYTHING.
Pack 1
112 Joey Votto Reds RC
31 Carl Crawford
37 Hanley Ramirez
76 Johan Santana
140 Max Scherzer D-Backs RC 1st Day Issue- Shoulda guessed. Surprised I didn’t get Scherzer in the football blaster.
Pack 2
115 Brandon Boggs Rangers RC
68 Gary Sheffield
11 David Ortiz- Keeper if I don’t have it yet.
104 Gregor Blanco Braves RC
122 Jonathan Herrera Rockies RC 1st Day Issue
Such pretty pretty photography. How could they have messed this up so badly?
Pack 3
29 Delmon Young
4 Todd Helton
116 Johnny Cueto Reds RC
58 Jose Reyes
132 Kosuke Fukudome Cubs RC 1st Day Issue- Have it, so I can trade this one.
Checklist
Pack 4
73 Greg Maddux
52 Vernon Wells
88 Hideki Matsui
14 Prince Fielder
147 Radhames Liz O’s RC
Pack 5
131 Sean Rodriguez Angels RC
80 Ryan Braun
82 Manny Ramirez
56 Garrett Atkins
112 Joey Votto other Reds RC 1st Day Issue
Pack 6
119 Jed Lowrie Red Sox RC
1 Chase Utley
85 Matt Holliday
50 David Wright
107 Clayton Kershaw Dodgers RC
Pack 7
53 Josh Hamilton
133 Chin-Lung Hu Dodgers RC
125 Josh Banks Padres RC
13 Alex Rodriguez
125 Josh Banks Padres other RC 1st Day Issue
Checklist
Pack 8
109 Garrett Mock Nats RC
23 Thom Glavine- Eh, it’d almost make sense in this set.
142 Greg Smith A’s RC
74 Rich Harden- Keeper!
131 Sean Rodriguez Angels other RC 1st Day Issue
And that’s the end of this beautiful disaster set blaster. Everything not a keeper is available for trade, as always. For this set, I’m looking for all the Cubbies I don’t have, which is all of them except for Harden & the 1st Day Issue Fukudome, and all the legends except for Honus Wagner & the 1st Day Issue Babe Ruth (already got ‘em).
I’m not feeling so well, but one final note before I go, after watching Monday Night Football I can say this with confidence: Aaron Rodgers > Brett Favre
Until our next…
Remember When?
Now that we’ve established what a weirdo I am, remember when I complained about that Bowman Chrome blaster? Here’s why:

One pack base & the next pack chrome. WTF topps?
The base prospect/WBC in one pack was immediately followed it’s chrome version in the next pack.

Damn. /Ron Simmons
Thanks topps. Stupid annoying crap like this is why I’m pissed off so often.

The last couple & my keepers, since it won't let me edit scans...
A topps only baseball hobby next year threatens to run me out of it next year. Crap like this makes me believe their pwnage this year had more to do with Upper Deck sucking/not getting it/not caring than topps being very good. I hope Upper Deck’s partially licensed stuff sucks less than most of their crap from this year… If not, maybe I’ll be able to save a little money in 2010.
Okay, I’m done. Sweet dreams, internet people.

Gint-A-Cuffs #1
It’s finally time to throw the Gint-A-Cuffs box break up here. And here is how I’m gonna do it:
• I’m just copy paste the 1st 12 packs now with the points beside them.
• I’ll do the next 12 tomorrow or something.
• Then I’m gonna post scans of all the point and negative point cards. debatably
Why am I doing it in this admittedly crappy, half-hearted way? It’s quite simple really. The way the standings look now, I’m in next-to-last place. I have no chance of winning, I can score no better. So… I just want to zoom through this as quickly as possible and get on with things. There are, as I mentioned questionably coherently recently, more pressing things I desperately want to get to. Either that or I don’t feel like breaking down the scans any more than I have to.
There is one last thing I want to know before I slap this thing together, and that is this:
Why is Jared Weaver on the crap relic list? He is 13-5 with a 3.89 ERA this year, 48-24 & 3.76 for his career. Did he do something bad to Beardy or something? I am endlessly confused by this…
…

Let me know if I screwed up the scoring anywhere please. This is pretty much unedited from two months ago, so I might be out of date on a few score rulings. Also, a double check on maths is always helpful.
Done for now. Second half soon. Minimally edited down scans in the hole. I got some emails to send. Oh, and I finally sent the rest of the cards for Dinged Corners! Finally!!… Though there is something else brewing, but that is for another time.
Until our next…

There ya go, the same two chrome prospects/WBCs showed up in the next packs as base cards. Man Topps, couldn’t even kick in a refractor to make my butt hurt a little less? Wasn’t expecting greatness, but apparently my expectations were too high since I didn’t expect stupidity.
I was very heavily considering a hobby box of this in the near future, because for once, I actually liked Bowman a lot this year… but I’m never going to buy so much as another pack of it ever again without a damn good explanation. And this combined with the f***ed up patch from my Series 1 Topps blaster awhile back, I don’t think I’ll be getting any more Topps blasters of any kind for a helluva long time either. And knowing Topps pulled this sort of crap with the National Prides, Baseball Highlights Sketches, and possibly the Hoodwinks in Allen & Ginter, I’m not even feeling buying anymore of THAT anytime soon, and A&G is my favorite set of the year.
Way to go Topps, another satisfied customer.
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY JOKING???
2008 TriStar Projections Box Break
I bought my first ever box online in the latter half of last month, from Blowout Cards. The box was of 2008 TriStar Projections, because it promised lots of hits (4 or 8, depending on your definition) for low low price. Good enough for me, and minor league cards are cool sometimes. At the time, I got it for $32 & change shipped, though last I checked, the box had itself jumped up to higher than that, after bottoming out at a couple bucks less than I paid. But that’s not why you’re here… you came for a box break!
So let’s break it down:
24 packs per box, 8 cards per pack, 192 cards per box
Base-
I got around 3/4 of the base set with no dupes. Forgot to scan the base cards though. I pulled base of most of the (future) stars, including (off the top of my head) Matt Wieters, Matt LaPorta, Rick Porcello, Jason Heyward, Andrew McClutchen, Colby Rasmus, and Evan Longoria, who already is a star.
The design is pretty slick, but there are two notable problems with the set:
1.) Because the rest of the image the picture of the player is taken from is shoop’d out, leaving only the player, a few players have disembodied body parts encroaching on their action shots (see the Adrien Cardenas parallel below). It’s very very weird looking and distracting, but there are very few like that, so it’s tolerable.
2.) The stats on the backs of the position player cards are misaligned. Every. Single. Card. The batting average is supposed to be at the end of the statline, but instead, it is the first thing listed, throwing off the entire line. It is a pretty bad mistake, which is a shame, because this set is nicer looking than 75% of Topps & UD’s releases from the past year.
Reflectives Parallels (1 per pack)-
I think I got 22 of these, also without dupes. The reason there are only 22 is because a couple of the #ed parallels were Reflectives, which, except for one memorable one, replaced the regulars. (Future) Stars included David Price, Matt Wieters, Jed Lowrie, Andrew McClutchen, and Max Scherzer, who’ve all seen major league action, if nothing else. Jason Heyward is a highly touted prospect as well, it seems.

Reflectives
The Reflectives are freakin’ gorgeous, by the way.
#ed Parallels (4 Guaranteed per box; Green #ed 50, Yellow #ed /25, Orange #ed 5, and Purple #ed 1/1)-
Ben Revere Green base #ed 40/50, Adrien Cardenas Yellow base #ed 13/25, Jesus Montero Reflectives Parallel #ed 12/50 (Reserved for Sooz of A Cardboard Problem), and Wilmer Font #ed 11/25.

I see Rainbows... @.@

Numbered ones... @o@
I actually pulled a 5th #ed parallel too, but we’ll cover that in a bit.
Autographs (4 Guaranteed per box; same parallel numbering as the non-autos)-
Matt LaPorta base, Casey Weathers base, Chris Withrow Green base #ed /50, Balbino Fuenmayor ORANGE base #ed 3/5(!)

Withrow has a really nice sig.

And the backs...
All four of these guys seem to have some promise, Matt LaPorta with tons of hype, Casey Weathers being a high draft pick (though Tommy John’d at the moment), Withrow I’d heard of before this pack, and Balbino is struggling but has huge expectations and is still only 20. Plus he’s freakin’ #ed to /5~!
That’s not all though, oh no. I did say there were five parallels. And here is the 5th:

For realz 1/1? Believe it~!

Bonus~!!!!
Jon Still Purple Reflectives Parallel #ed 1/1.
I will not be saying mojo, because that would be wrong. But it is the first true 1/1 I’ve ever pulled, so it is still really exciting going on two weeks later. However, being in the Red Sox organization, I did offer it to Shane over at Shoebox Legends if he wants it.
I was going to try and score this box, but I really can just give it a number or letter grade. I really enjoyed opening this box. The cards look really nice, there were a lot of hits for a low price, some of them may even end up being good, and I greatly enjoyed taking the time to open them, because, well… minor league cards are “Hope in a Pack”-incarnate. It’s not just hoping you get something good of someone good, it’s getting something good of someone you *hope* turns out to be good, of someone who hopes *they themselves* turn out to be good.
I don’t know who, if anybody, from my box will become major stars (aside from Longoria, who already is), but it doesn’t matter that much anyway. I got a whole lot more than what was promised for my $27+ shipping. Two cards whose print runs equal six… combined, a possibly record long box break (somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 hours, due to having to type to chat with people the whole time), three blog posts, and probably many soon-to-be pending trades as a direct result of the pulls.
What more could I ask for? Besides posting the pictures and getting them where I want being less of a pain in the @$^%Z4$&%¢@#%$.
