2008 Goudey Blaster Pack-akkake! #6

Pack #6

Base:
Catfish Hunter
Towelie RC

Luke Hochevar RC
Ichiro

Adam LaRoche

Brad Penny

Jim Thome

Mirror:

Yankee Stadium Legacy: Moose Skowron #2930

Yes, I fully realize that this is not an Upper Deck Goudey card of Houston Astros catcher J.R. Towles. But after pulling a Towles in this pack of Goudey, I couldn't resist re-posting my Photoshopped masterpiece: A 2008 Topps Heritage "rookie" card of Towelie.

"Aw man, I have no idea what's going on."

The 20 for $40 re-wrap: You Pick the Pack -- The Result

The final result was four votes for the pack of '96 Pacific Prisms and four votes for '98 Finest series two. So later tonight, I'm busting both.

1996 Pacific Prisms was a 144-card set, and each pack contained only one card. Here's the contest: Pick a number from 1-144 and post it to the comments section, the closest to the card number of the Pacific Prism I pull will win......

... something. In the meantime, in honor of the holiday, here's the greatest two minutes of South Park, ever.

Wal-Mart $9.99 Value Pack: 2006 Upper Deck Series 1 & 2 Fat Pack

Last pack in the Wal-Mart Value Pack, and its an Upper Deck Fatty from last year. Speaking of fattys...

Don't forget to bring a towel!
There, much better. I needed that. (Do cards not drugs, kids.)

Anyway, in 2006 Upper Deck released three different kinds of Fat Packs. One with only series one cards, another with only series two cards, and a third with cards from both series one and two. This particular pack is a "one-&-two;" that is, all the base cards in the top compartment are from the first series and all the cards in the bottom compartment are series two. There's also a "one-&-two" Fatty exclusive "Season Highlights" insert that's seeded at the rate of one-per-compartment.

Top compartment

Base (all series one):
Adam Kennedy
Javy Lopez
Neifi Perez
Joe Crede
Willy Mo Pena
Andy Pettitte
Dan Wheeler
Carlos Silva
Barry Zito
Rich Harden
Jim Thome
Woody Williams
Doug Clark (RC)
Cristian Guzman
Nick Johnson

Insert:
Season Highlights: Johan Santana

Bottom Compartment

Base (all series two):
Wilson Betemit
Matt Belisle
Miguel Ojeda
Brian Moehler
Todd Wellemeyer
Rafael Furcal
Julio Franco
Ryan Doumit
Victor Santos
Josh Hancock
Brad Wilkerson
Robert Fick
Val Majewski (RC)
Ricky Nolasco (RC)

Inserts:
Season Highlights: Alfonso Soriano
Collect the Mascots and Win!: Phillie Phanatic

The Season Highlights inserts look virtually identical to the Player Highlights cards that were inserted into series two Hobby packs. In fact when I first saw these cards, I thought these were Player Highlights.

Collect the Mascots and Win! is a three-card one-&-two exclusive insert, featuring Mr. Met, The Phillie Phanatic, and Wally the Green Monster. By collecting all three cards, and entering the codes printed on the back, you can win prizes and stuff. I pulled the Phanatic, and yeah, the Big Green Guy is still the man. But don't take my word for it. Ask Mr. Met's wife.
