I am starting my final box of 2009 UD Series 1 before I start to buy singles to finish the set. Wish me luck in finishing the base set with this box, but based on buying UD boxes since 2001, I have never completed the base set using 3 hobby boxes of cards so I don't expect 2009 UD Series 1 to be any different.

May 14, 2010 - 2010 Topps Series 1 and 2008 Timelines

Starting a box of 2010 Topps today in hopes of trying to get my set completed. It's a 24 pack box and really inexpensive compared to other 2010 topps configurations so it might be retail. 12 cards per pack and the first pack had just 2 inserts, so if that holds throughout the box that gives me 10 attempts each pack to get base cards I need towards set completion.

2008 Goudey Hit

Sorry that I haven't been posting packs of cards lately. Work has been extremely busy but the project deadline is almost here and it should tail off enough soon for me to get back to posting packs.

In the meantime, here is a 2008 Goudey hit that I don't believe I've posted here yet.
