I opened three more packs from my 16 pack mixed box.
Next from the mixed box, 1991 Topps
Next up from the mixed box is a pack of 2008 Topps Series 12008 Topps
I bought one of those boxes or random packs today for $20. Was hoping to get at least one good pack but no such luck. I'll be opening these packs one per day. Nothing to get excited about but fun nonetheless.
For my second rip I've decided to do another set I collected a lot of, Topps Heritage.
I can't even tell you how much money I spent on Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects over the years. I figured this would be a great set to start with. In celebration of this little project, my first couple of posts will be 8 pack retail boxes. I bought several boxes of the 2002 version before the prices started skyrocketing. Looking back on it, I'm trying to even think of some of the stars that were in the set.....Granderson, Greinke, Upton. 2003 was the year that I really went nuts and probably bought the evivalant of 4 cases. For some reason I remember the price of boxes flucuating drastically from week to week. Some of my best pulls were from these boxes.
I'm writing this post while watching the 1st game of the Tigers/Royals series in Kansas City. I was card collector and serial pack ripper until about 3 years ago when all of sudden I just lost interest. Some of it had to do with the sheer amount of cards available, the rookie card rules enacted by MLB and a lack of funds. I was sitting here tonight looking through some of the cards I have posted for sale on Sportlots and realized how much I missed opening packs. I decided to start opening again. This time, it's gonna be different through. I'm not going to open looking for the big score. I'm not going to buy cases of cards at a time. I'm going to buy cheap retail boxes from Target, old packs from my childhood and oddball stuff I see at random shops and shows. I'll also post random cards from my personal collection that I find while digging through things. I'll keep some of the stuff that I like, mostly Detroit Tiger cards but everything else will be available for sale on sportlots, for trade or maybe the occasional giveaway.
