The Goldschmidt is a nice pull.

the Strawberry is disappointing, but generally not too bad. I would also be interested in the Moose and any Royals you pulled.

Strawberry disappointing? Moustakas and goldschmidt auto disappointing? This post is the epitome of the sour grapes card collecting mentality of "I deserve hits". Remember when collecting was about building sets, and reading the stats on the back of the cards.
Darryl Strawberry disappointing? 16 year career, 4 World Series rings, 8 time all star, rookie of the year, bit of a coke problem....but all in all doesn't sound like a disappointment to me.

This is pretty decent, IMO. -Double check to see if you have any SPs. ("in the crowd" or whatever they're called).
Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.

Sonny, I understand where you're coming from. I'm usually not a big complainer or "crybaby". It's just that I was so excited for the new series/season and saw other people pulling really nice stuff that this was "just okay" when it was all said and done. I actually like Goldschmidt alot as a ballplayer and Strawberry was great during his career! Just not what I was hoping for.
Also, like how you added "bit of a coke problem" in your assessment of Strawberry's career. Haha
Adding hits to my ORG and will check people for trades. Thanks

What I would give to be at a Mets party in the 1980's with Darryl and Keith Hernandez.

uvaspina- Yea, I got the Joe Mauer SP. "Out of Bounds" is what they are, I believe. Feature pics of catches being made over the fence or foul territory etc.
Found like 7 cards with pics like that but they aren't SPs. Tricky Topps!
