Two more packs today. Not as good of luck as yesterday's Tristar pack. ;)
2008 Tristar Prospects Plus
8 Gordon Beckham
143 Cubs Top Pick Pitchers - Chris Carpenter, Andrew Cashner, Aaron Shafer
93 Logan Watkins
30 Tim Melville
112 Michel Inoa
130 Yankees Future Infielders - Corban Joseph and David Adams - die cut parallel #17/25
2009 UDX

18 Carlos Zambrano
56 Francisco Rodriguez die-cut parallel
2 Chris Young
83 Rick Ankiel
X5-JP Xponential Level 5 - Jake Peavy
My first X5 level Xpontetial card and it's great looking! I'm having a tough time deciding if this is my favorite Xponential I've pulled or if the Russell Martin lower level one is. I'll have to try to remember to scan both when I make my scan at the completion of this box.

August 28, 2009 - 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus and 2009 UDX
What a crazy pack day for 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus. I think this is the craziest pack of cards I've ever busted.
78 Aaron Shafer
29 Tyler Wilson
55 Bryan Price
128 College Teammates: Brent Morel and Logan Schafer
102 Hunter Cervenka
and the crazy stuff:
123 Alonso, Weeks Yellow Printing Plate
FH-TR Tyson Ross Black Printing Plate - Autographed
I've never pulled two printing plates out of a single pack of trading cards. I think there probably was an error in packout because I received 5 base cards and these 2 plates instead of probably just one printing plate to make the six card pack.
2009 UDX
40 Jose Guillen
69 Ryan Howard
37 Miguel Tejada
24 Edinson Volquez
83 Chien-Ming Wang die-cut parallel
X4-RB - Ryan Braun Xpotential
78 Aaron Shafer

August 26, 2009 - 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus and 2009 UDX
2008 Tristar Prospects Plus
139 Red Sox Top Pick Catchers - Tim Federowicz and Christian Vazquez
114 Jordan Danks
9 Jason Castro
18 Casey Kelly
70 Shane Peterson
89 Charlie Blackmon
2009 UDX
46 Matt Kemp
88 BJ Upton
20 Paul Konerko
84 Albert Pujols
8 Nick Markakis die cut parallel
X2-JS Xpotential - Johan Santana
Out of the three levels of Xpotential I have pulled so far, I have to say the X2 level is my favorite design and appearance out of the three levels.
Also good to know I pulled the Pujols so I won't be ripped off if I had to acquire that card towards completing the set. Pujols base singles seem so overpriced in a lot of places.

18 Alfonso Siriano
X2-MC Miguel Cabrera Xponential
63 Chien-Ming Wang
67 Jason Giambi
67 Jason Giambo die cut parallel
wow, die cut parallels and the base card in the same pack in the last two packs 've opened. I hope it's not a trend because I'd rather have a parellel that is different from any card in the pack
2008 Tristar Prospects Plus
141 Lowell Spinners Teammates - Lance McClain and Kyle Weiland
94 Juan Carlos Sulbaran
91 Matt Cerda
33 Corban Joseph

August 24, 2009 - 2009 UDX and 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus
One more pack of each brand as I continue working my way through the box.
2009 UDX
4 Chipper Jones
52 Justin Morneau
97 Colby Rasmus
97 Colby Rasmus die cut parallel - wierd they were back to back in the same pack!
70 Jimmy Rollins
X-RM Xpontential Russell Martin - beauty! I like the look of this one - I'll have to remember to scan it when I scan the hits from this box
2008 Tristar Prospects Plus
136 Staten Island Yankees teammates - Ray Kruml and Addision Maruszak
104 Ryan Lavarnway
28 Carlos Gutierrez
52 Jaff Decker
P-EF Evan Frederickson game-used jersey - West Virgina Power gray road uniform?
Another pack where I haven't heard of anyone... yet. I"m surprised to pull a game used
jersey - with die cut "2008" window for the jersey swatch to appear behind. I thought this product was just autos and some die-cut shorter run cards... I didn't realize there would be
jerseys as well.

137 Red Sox Top Pick Pitchers - Bryan Price, Stephen Fife, Kyle Weiland
12 Brett Wallace
11 Jemile Weeks
59 Tyson Ross
92 Kyle Higashioka
This was probably the best pack for me as far as player recognition. I've heard of Wallace and Weeks before.

91 Vernon Wells
30 Cliff Lee
43 Torii Hunter
96 Rick Porcello
X3-AS Xponential Level 3 - Alfonso Soriano

Out of the X1 and X3 cards I've opened so far, I like X1 much better than the X3 design.

August 21, 2009
I've decided on what box to start busting. I've chosen 2009 Upper Deck X. It's a cheap bust (I got two boxes at $23 each delivered) and I'm a sucker for rainbow foil/mylar stuff (and holograms for that matter, but that isn't found in this product).
pack 1 of the new box of UDX:
14 Daisuke Matsuzaka
42 Vladimir Guerrero
3 Brandon Webb die-cut card (have to check to see if this is supposed to be a parallel or
what the deal is with die-cutting. I don't see any number on
the card so it doesn't seem to be tied to #'ed x/x thing).
99 Koji Uehara
19 Aramis Ramirez
X-TL Tim Lincecum Xponential. Who is the lady on that card? ;) I hate his long locks!
2008 Tristar Prospects Plus
138 Red Sox Top Outfielders - Pete Hissey, Bryan Peterson, Ryan Westmoreland
116 Madison Bumgarner
21 Andrew Cashner
13 Aaron Hicks
25 Anthony Hewitt
19 Ike Davis
