Walgreen $5 repacks - DrMitchJ - 10-23-2015
Okay, so not the 2 best I've ever gotten, but got 3 autos (of nobodies), which is good for those cheapo boxes. And I always love adding another card to my 'horrible baseball names" collection. Lets give it up for Dick Pole, ladies and gentlemen!

You did good, I have bought a half dozen of those and have gotten nothing, not one hit.

Thanks for trying to make it sound good, but autos of players that never broke into the bigs? is that really a 'hit' or some company 'throwing out their trash'
I was more happy getting the Dick Pole card than any of those autos ... (Although Tony Pena Jr is kinda cool). And getting 35 year old sticker cards that survived ... Although nearly worthless ... Still pretty cool, to me. Basically, these repacks suck and are filled with trash. But every so often, someone makes a mistake and pops in a good card ... Again , my theory ... Totally by mistake. But for $5 it's fun to open and there are cards in there that are pretty good ... When they make a mistake!

I always thought the spider web tattoo on Holdzkom's elbow was kind of cool.
