I got the first 5 shipments of my massive orders from my Black Friday shopping spree (see my original post in the Baseball Box Break forum). I am going to post the box breaks for each sport under the proper forum. Here is the one for football.

Next break was 5 blaster boxes of 2010 Playoff Contenders.
Base Rookies: Danny Woodhead x2, Anthony Armstrong x2
Autograph Rookies: Donald Jones, Ed Wang, Nate Allen, David Reed, #129 Exchange Card
Playoff Ticket: Michael Vick (62/99), Brandon Marshal (01/99)

Legendary Contenders: Rick Casares, Fred Biletnikoff
Rookie Roll Call: Jermaine Gresham, Mike Williams
ROY Contenders: Sam Bradford, TJ Ward, Rolando McClain
Super Bowl Tickets: Namath, Lilly, Greenwood, Perry, McCaffrey, Eli Manning, Brees

After opening a few packs, I really like the base set and will go ahead and will be finishing it off. I am going to take a break from busting boxes to put the base set in order and figure out what cards I still need.

So out of the 5 blasters of Contenders I got 63 out of the 100 base cards along with 37 doubles (including doubles of Woodhead and Armstrong). So I still have a ways to go to finish off the set. Maybe I will just buy some more blasters when they go on sale again.
