My debut break on APAD is a 2008 Upper Deck II retail pack [$2.99 each] - I'm itching to bust some 'high brow' set builder products [Allen & Ginter and Goudey], but the retail versions aren't out yet. As far as strictly base cards, UD maybe the best product out there on a per pack basis, because there are 18 cards per pack, so it is almost like a 'modern jumbo pack.' It was only several years ago, where UD would only give you 10 cards per pack, for the same retail price.
Pack one [18 cards per pack]
#435 Tacoby Ellsbury - an up-and-coming young player who just does good things on the baseball field.
#408 Chad Tracy - he's been somewhat lost in the desert in the last few years, but still a dependable player.
#584 Ramon Castro - wearing the shades
#535 John Lackey -
#592 Shelley Duncan -
#547 Jonathan Broxton -
#576 Ryan Church -
#608 Brad Lidge -
#523 Miguel Olivo -
#723 Matt Tolbert -
#765 Josh Willingham - even though the card is a common, it is disappointing to turn the card over and discover it is a team checklist card.
#736 Dustin Pedroia - Season Highlights subset.
#751 Torii Hunter - team checklist card; I hate these cards.
#SQ-36 Carlos Beltran Starquest insert - uncommon; whatever that means.

As a steadfast reader who most posters probably find odd and annoying, I'd like to say welcome to APAD and I look forward to your posts.
There are 3 versions of the Starquest cards, rare, uncommon, and common. If you buy a retail $20 blasterbox you get a game-used insert, at least they are in the boxes found at Wal-Mart. The same is true for Topps series 2.
I'll grudgingly agree that the card of Andy Marte is actually Victor Martinez. If you look at his glove, it has a #41 on it. That, my friends, is Victor.
Good eyes! and Welcome.
Well, Victor, Andy, (non-)HotDog guy, whatever you wanna call 'em, they're TRIBERS! :-) Yeah, I get weird over things like that... It's something you just learn to live with...
