June 25, 2010 - 2010 Pro Debut and 2009 Tristar Prospects Plus

I'm starting a box of 2009 Tristar Prospects Plus today, a box I picked up on a really good Memorial Day weekend sale. I never gave a thought of flipping this box -- although I could make a few bucks doing so -- the release has Stasburg in it, albeit unofficially since the card doesn't mention him by name and it's a sketch of his likeness. This is the non-hotbox version and the serial number of the box is
1348/2400.

Pretty amazing to get an auto of someone that isn't currently playing professional baseball and this product is only been out in the wild about a year. I suppose UD needed to get rid of their Elijah Dukes auto sticker stash rather than replace him in the checklist with someone who would have been in professional baseball for more than one year after release.
