October 29, 2010 - 2010 Pro Debut Series 1 and 2005 Donruss Champions

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.
