Can I Open Just One Pack?

I went to work a little bit early today to make sure I could purchase 2 things. One was the prize for the trivia, and the other was a Christmas gift from my unsuspecting uncle.

My uncle gave me a $50 bill and told me I had to buy something that came in a box and could be wrapped with a bow, meaning I couldn’t use it to go out or drink 20 cups of coffee at Starbucks. He probably won’t be surprised or happy about what I picked, but it’s my gift. I grabbed a hobby box of 2008 UD Timeline (despite me wanting to kick their customer service team in the teeth), and am hopeful I got something decent under those wrappers.

While grabbing Steve’s prize, I thought why not grab some snow day fun and get a few for myself. (Idiot.) I am trying very hard not to open one, but I am pretty sure I won’t make it to the end of this blog without cracking it.

Is anyone else’s family sick of buying them baseball cards for Christmas or is it just mine?

Ohhh— Sneak preview, starting the 19th (today), all retired players autos in BC Sports are 40% off, and NFL Authentic jersey are 50% off as well as all holiday merchandise.

Oooouuchhhhh…. stop twisting my arm to open one pack, I’m goin, I’m goin.

OK, I got a Yankee Stadium Legacy card, and the rest of the pack was air. The gold card was Miguel Cabrera. No Yankees, no Pujols = AIR.

I wish I could get excited about cards in this set, but I just really don’t care. They are decent looking cards, but I just want to get rid of most of them. I have lots of Cubbies if anyone collects them out there.
