See my previous post regarding details about all the boxes I bought during Black Friday shopping. I started with opening some football boxes and moved to basketball. I figured I would do some baseball boxes tonight.
Box 1: 2006 Upper Deck Future Stars
Purple (#'d/1799): Mark Teixeira, Todd Helton, Jake Peavy, Jeff Kent, Scott Kazmir
Green (#'d/499): Lance Berkman
Red (#'d/299): Derrek Lee, Randy Johnson
Black (#'d/50): Chase Utley
World Future Stars Purple (#'d/1799): Pedro Luis Lazo, Yadel Marti
World Future Stars Blue (#'d/99):Dicky Gonzalez
Autographs: Jason Bergmann, Alay Soler, Matt Capps, Josh Rupe, Martin Prado (Expired Redemption)

I really like this product and have opened many boxes. However this might be my last one, as I seem to have gotten the same group of autographs in almost every box, plus the expired redemption cards are a big turn off.

WOW! That was a fun box. I was excited when I hit the Eric Hosmer parallel, but the Posey Autograph was incredible, plus another printing plate and this one was autographed. I think I am going to stick with breaking baseball for the rest of the night.

I opened the 6 boxes of Leaf Pete Rose Living Legend and got the following autographs. I haven't opened the packs yet as they are all base cards.

If any of your Tristars are for trade, I'd be interested....mostly in the Posey

I haven't decided yet if I want to trade any of them, but the Posey and the printing plates definitely won't be for trade.

Wow that box of '08 Tristar is insane.

Just goes to show that the products Tristar put out in 2008 were the best .
