I've never ripped a pack of this before. Here we go.
First out is a piece of gum that, even still wrapped, smells pretty good. But it's 2 years old so I think I'll pass.
Top card is #13 Josh Beckett, a blue parallel. I have no idea what that means.
Beckett was awesome in 2007 but has returned to being a pretty average pitcher this year.
Next is #69 David Wright, what I guess they call a gold chunks card. That's what I blow when I eat too much honey.
He's sporting the Michael Jordan tongue.

How cute.
#21 Justin Verlander. Such a disappointment this year that he doesn't get his card scanned.
#210 Bryan Bullington
He was a rookie here but has done almost nothing in the big leagues.
#20 Tim Hudson
I couldn't scan the front because he's not wearing a hat or helmet.
#200 Justin Morneau
Who knew he'd be the MVP next season? I still think Jeter deserved it more.
#12 Magglio Ordonez - nothing to say about this guy.
Overall, I like this set. The cards have a pleasingly simple design and are printed on lower quality stock than most thick slab cards these days. These cards much more closely resemble what collecting was like 20-30 years ago and are a nice break from all the crazy hoopla.
