First pack from my box of 2008 Topps. Oh sweet nectar.
286 Jeff Clement RC 16 Kevin Gregg 141 Ryan Klesko 211 Lyle Overbay 301 Chris Duffy 310 Kelvim Escobar MHR533 Mickey Mantle Home Run #533 Topps All Star Rookie Advertisement 34 Aaron Cook 33 Joe Mauer 230 Willie Randolph All is right with the world.
I simply went to the Hobby shop I always go to. Topps apparently couldn't get it out in time to arrive yesterday so they pushed the date back two days just to make sure. The Jumbo boxes were overpriced, so I settled for a regular box and put the difference toward the 2008 Heritage fund.
The backs are nice, but the fronts of the ones with long team names look strange. The circles have to be too small to balance the white space. I know it's nitpicky, but it bugs me. I think I'll stick to the Heritages this year.

Okay, fess up. How'd you get it?
Also: those card backs rock.
Damn, I want some.
