Let's tear in.

Again, nothing special. I'm sure the sketch cards have suffered a million insults already, but I must say that the picture makes Maddux look like Lon Chaney a little bit.
Pack 4:
46 Cole Hamels (Great start.)
Mini 212 B.J. Upton
Black Mini (No #) Prince Fielder (YES!)
Perez Sketch 3 Nick Markakis
240 Miguel Tejada

I'll be surprised if this doesn't turn out to be the pack of the box. After opening two hobby boxes, a couple blasters, and several random packs, I've never gotten two minis in a pack before. The fact that there's a black bordered one, and the fact that it's Prince make opening this box worth it. Screw the $20 I would have made on eBay, I got a somewhat-hard-to-get Prince Fielder card. Now if only there's something even better in the next few packs...
I'll keep you posted.
Check out my Top Five Pulls of 2007 Countdown. It starts slow, but builds to a climax!
Cool, Prince would be cool even without the extra mini. I think the guys at topps put in two minis so they know which ones are the good packs. I can't remember if I got one from A&G, but I got an '06 Bowman Heritage pack with two minis and a redemption card for an autograph.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the Perez card goes, I would personally be flattered if someone compared me to Lon Chaney. I'm sure Maddux feels honored.
