How I fell … A Tale by Sooz

The Topps Wal-Mart blaster didn’t open the door to my baseball card free fall. It just stopped me from rolling down the hill.

The thing that got me was all the talk about Topps Heritage. Everyone was talking about the 1960 design on the cards. How pretty they looked and how many boxes they expected to get.

I tried to hold out as long as I could. I really did. But my debit card just jumped out of my wallet right into the swiper. I had no choice. So a box of 2009 Topps Heritage and I made it home.

The box was sturdy enough to hold my head up after I fell off the wagon. Today’s snow helped with the bruising.

Since I made my fall, I figured it was only fair to share my haul. (I purposely rhymed).

I’ll open packs 1 through 4.

Boxtopper:

I didn’t open it, but I looked through the wrapper and saw some people I didn’t care about. It’s a 1960 advertisement panel. A Fred Lewis is on there and some guy from the DBacks.
