Obviously, the most interesting card in there was the Strasburg #661. Not much else to report, but for $20 it was entertaining enough, I guess .

It sounds like you had fun. The Andy Pettite jersey from Stadium Legacy is not to shabby.

Not a jersey... just the card.

[magneto2]

Ahh now I see. Well you had fun right? Sometimes retail is cruel. I have not done well with it most times. Hobby seems to be best for me.

[alstott9adams]

not bad

[dbacks08]

Could have been worse lol... and yes, I did have fun opening.

[dlcarst]

i love those. I don't open them much and you rarely get anything of note, but at about a buck per pack its ok if you only get easy-to-find inserts. Good stuff to trade to player collectors, and once in a while you find something at least semi-interesting.

[sesfan01]

I've always had better luck with hobby stuff, but still like opening retail for the "fun" of it.

thanks for sharing.
