So, power went out yesterday so we went out to get some food to eat. Wanted Pizza, stopped at the Little Ceaser's in K-Mart to eat since it had an eating area. Well, convinced the wive to let me get something to pass the time, had her pick out a pack and pick me a pack. The packs guaranteed 14 rookies and 4 packs of cards. It also guaranteed that there would be rookies of Oden, Durant and Horford. Blah, I should have known better.
The guaranteed rookies weren't actually rookies, but rookie year cards. Each of our packs had the complete 2007-08 Topps Rookie Set (White Border) in them. That kind of upset me but when I thought about it, at least I could use the Durants for trade bait. So, here's how my wife and I did.

Yeah, I got the higher value hit, but overall, I'd rather have opened up hers. All are for trade except for the Taurean, it's a set filler (also got two other set fillers).
