Second box in a row of 2010 Topps Update (out of 2 boxes purchased from the same card shop) that appears will be missing the guaranteed hit. This was a 7 card pack so the relic probably was meant to be seeded into this pack. I had one seven-card pack in the other box and Topps took care of it. I won't be sending stuff to Topps yet because I want to get the rest of the box opened and make sure the hit isn't in one of the remaining packs.

2010 Topps Update Hit

The box I recently finished of 2010 Topps Update was missing the one guaranteed hit. I contacted Topps with the various things they require and the hit arrived in the mail Monday.

Here it is:

December 25, 2010 - 2009 Ballpark Collection

As per my Christmas tradition, I open one pack of a "premium" baseball product on Christmas. With the last pack of 2005 Absolute Memorabilia Update opened on Christmas 2009, this year's Christmas featured the first pack of 2009 Ballpark Collection.

Here is the break:




I'm pretty stoked with this pack - my first pack-pulled button card for my PC. Numbered 12/14 so Upper Deck must have put about two Aramis Ramirez jerseys worth of buttons into this particular release. I'm also pleased with the quad jersey because I think it will eventually feature 3 Hall of Famers by the time all is said and done.

November 25, 2010 - UD Documentary

I decided to take a one-day break from two packs and opened a full box of documentary that I picked up last year. I'll spare you the listing of 360 cards, but the hits follow.



I have had luck with Documentary so far. Two boxes down, two Yankee Stadium Legacy buyback or jersey card bonuses. I don't think I"ll be that lucky with the rest of my boxes as I work on building the non-gold base set.

Sorry for the few day layoff. My 7 year old computer died (not unexpected as I felt like it outlasted its anticipated lifetime and could go at any time) and I found a previous generation computer and spent a few days cleaning it up. It has just enough computing power to do emails and basic web browsing.

Now that I"m back online with this temp computer and a new PC on the way sometime in the next two weeks, the packs continue but there might be another short break in posting if configuring the new PC to get on the web doesn't go smoothly.

I think I'm opening a hot box! 4 packs of 2009 UD Series 2 opened in the box I started a few days ago and all had a jersey or auto in it. We'll have to see if the trend continues with future packs.

I'm working on 3 products (2009 UD Series 2, 2010 Pro Debut Series 1 and 2005 Donruss Champions), packs randomly placed into a box as to not be opening the same two products day after day for the better part of a month. I hope that makes the pack break postings not so boring...

Turns out the Sept 30th posting was the final 1993 Leaf Series 1 pack. No hits in the box (i.e. the Frank Thomas auto).

For the next few days, I will continue working towards the completion of the 2008 Goudey box as well as open up some box toppers that I found in a stack of cards to be filed away that were somehow not opened along with the box.

I'm hoping Series 2 collation is as bad as 2009 Series 1 was. It seemed like I got the same USA 18U guys in the three boxes I opened, so if that holds true, I'll probably have another 2-3 Strasburg non-auto inserts by the time I finish opening my 3 Series 2 boxes.

The box of 2010 Topps Series 1 is done. No hits to post from that box but I will do a posting when I finish cataloging the cards to let you know how close I got to building one set by ripping one hobby box and two 24-pack (retail?) boxes.

I'm starting my set-building of 2009 UD Series 2 today.

Cards Your Mom Threw Away - 1964 Topps Brooks Robinson - original back
ToppsTown Josh Hamilton

I saw something interesting with the Robinson card. I happened to notice there is the modern-day topps logo on the card front. I searched for and found an image of the original card and it has no topps logo on the front, let alone the modern topps logo. For the older cards before Topps designed their current logo, I figure this current topps logo on the front makes it easier to tell from a scan if you are looking at a Cards Your Mom Threw Away reprint or if you are looking at the original card. If the card is old and original, I figure there will be no logo or the logo will be the old-school topps logo.

To summarize the box with regards to Strasburg, I did not pull a base card or base parallel from this box, but I did pull one of his Obak update card versions. I have one more box left to open at some point so at least I'll have a chance of pulling the base card to add to my collection.

I'm opening up my final box of 2010 Topps Series 1 (appears to be 24-pack retail) in hopes of seeing if I can get the final cards I need to complete my series 1 set. Who knew that in one hobby box and one 24-pack retail box that I was not able to complete a series 1 base set?
