For those of you who do not remember
Part One, click on the link and review. When you come back, read on for the second box break review.
A much better box "hit wise" than the last one. And unlike the first box, no duplicates of any kind. I've heard of bad distribution in this set, so I purchased box #2 from a completely different seller in a different part of the U.S.
It didn't work. In total with the two boxes, out of 288 base cards, I ended up with 87 duplicates. Including 6 out of 24 SP's.
The hits for box 2?
Carl Crawford - Rays : game used bat
Chase Utley Phillies: game used jersey
Lance Berkman Astros: game used jersey
Ervin Santana Angels: Autograph
Two rather grumpy looking gentlemen out of the World Leaders subset...
Gilgamesh!!!!! Sweet. And some make believe dude from Team Orange. (no 'stache)
Jackie Freakin' Robinson. Bask in that glow for a moment.
But I'm still short a bunch o' cards, not to mention at least the 3 Braves SP's... All of these cards pictured, and in Box One, are for trade...
There must be some Rays fans(Dave), Angels fans, Phillies fans who are willing to trade for these wonderful cards for some meaningless Braves cards they have kicking around... right?
Plus, anyone wanting to trade base cards to try and complete their set like me... send me your lists....
What secrets are you hiding Old Planter?
Hanley Ramirez, he'd be a solid MVP candidate if Albert Pujols wasn't completely destroying the league right now. Hanley is only 2 homers and a stolen base away from joining Grady Sizemore in the 30-30 club this year. I love the old timey border on this design that was swiped from the original Allen & Ginter set. The good news is I now have a third of this insert set. The bad news is I'm probably going to try to complete it now. Maybe I should finish off the 2006 and 2007 sets first.
