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)
Draft Class: Bradford/Gilyard, Clausen/Tate, McCluster/Moeaki, Suh/McCoy
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.

Decent names and hits from Gold Standard and Plates n Patches which are two very big hit or miss products. Nice!

I was really hoping to get a Tebow or Aaron Hernandez out of one of the Contenders boxes or the Plates & Patches box. However I am pretty happy with what I got out of the Plates & Patches and Gold Standard boxes those boxes considering how right you are about them being hit or miss.

Just started my 2nd round of boxes. 2 boxes of 2011 Timeless Treasures.
Base (#'d/499): Matt Cassel, Danny Woodhead, Desean Jackson (001/499)
Parallels: Colt McCoy (50/99), Tony Romo (08/49)
Hall of Fame: Shannon Sharpe
Rookie Year Materials: Tim Tebow (29/99)
Jerseys: Boomer Esiason (058/250)
Jerseys Prime: Barry Sanders (01/25)
Rookie Signatures: Stephen Paea (194/299), Colin Kaepernick (143/165), Redemption #207

Considering I only paid $40 a box I am thrilled, especially since I paid $100 a box last year and didn't do nearly as well.

I opened the five 2008 Score Super Bowl XLIII sets tonight. I got 3 of the basic (red) sets. However I got 1 Gold parallel set, and 1 Green parallel set. I am definitely happy about getting 2 of the different parallels. I will break-up one of the red sets and keep the others intact. Send me a PM or an open trade offer if you are interested in any of the cards from the set.

Some of the cards I will be marking later. I am trying to finish opening the boxes and organizing the cards before marking them for trade.
