Pack Break: 2010 Topps Update Series Jumbo

I stopped by the card shop on the way home from work yesterday and they had just gotten 2010 Topps Update Series in. I can't afford the $85 for the Jumbo box or even the $55 for the regular box, but I did get one Jumbo pack to try to satisfy my craving. At $10 bucks a pack I was really hoping for the auto or one of the two relics promised per Jumbo box but my pack did not deliver. Each pack contains 50 cards. here are some of mine. I turned my TMCG into a 1981 Gary Carter.

2008 Topps Allen & Ginter box

So I went to my local card shop yesterday and bought a box of 2008 Topps Allen & Ginter. I don't know why I did it. Every time I spend $50+ on a box of cards and end up with a couple of jersey/autos of players that I have never heard of, I always tell myself: "Don't buy anymore boxes. You will save a ton of money just buying the cards that you want." I don't know why I don't listen to myself more often. It was yet another diappointing box. I did get 3 jersey cards and 1 bat card, but nobody big. I got Delwyn young of the Dodgers and Tom Gorzelanny of the Pirates.


I also got Vladimir Guerrero and Carlos Zambrano.

I really like the design of the base cards. Very clean. I like that all players on the same team are featured in the same style jersey. See a few of my loveable yet very frustrating D-Backs below for example. Too bad I only got 5 D-Backs cards out of the whole box. The 3 below and Alex Romero and Orlando Hudson.

Other than the D-Backs cards, everything is for trade or I will be posting it on ebay. So the end result of my $50+. 5 Diamondbacks cards that I will keep and probably ebays sales in the $4-$5 range. I should have listened to myself.
