Detox just to retox

I’m not here yet, but the temptation to buy a pack or a blaster is getting stronger by the day. I visited the local Target today just to stare at the cardboard shelf. I looked around and saw that Target finally has Upper Deck blasters.

Finally.

Then I thought to myself, what do I need this blaster for?

There are several Jeter cards in 2009 Upper Deck. But I have several of them. I did a quick inventory in my head of the cards I had and the cards I needed.

Upper Deck #261
Upper Deck #434
Upper Deck #466
Upper Deck Gold #261
Upper Deck Gold #434
Upper Deck Gold #466
Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee #OPC16
Upper Deck O-Pee-Chee Mini #OPC16
Upper Deck Rivals #R2 David Ortiz/ Derek Jeter
Upper Deck Starquest Black Ultra Rare #SQ6
Upper Deck Starquest Common Purple #SQ6
Upper Deck Starquest Common Silver #SQ6
Upper Deck Starquest Emerald Super Rare #SQ6
Upper Deck Starquest Rare Gold #SQ6
Upper Deck Starquest Uncommon Blue #SQ6
Upper Deck Stars of the Game #GGDJ
Upper Deck UD Game Jersey #GJDJ
Upper Deck UD Game Jersey Dual #GJDJ /139
Upper Deck UD Game Jersey Quad #GJDJ /15
Upper Deck UD Game Jersey Triple #GJDJ /69
Upper Deck UD Game Patch #GJDJ /25

So, there is no common card I need of Jeter. I got all the regular inserts. Pretty much all I need are short-print cards and game-used. Great.

No blaster for me. Back to eBay.

You ever look at your collection and think to yourself, ‘Wow, I have a lot of cards.’ Then, you look at the checklist and think, ‘Why do I do this?’

On a side note (or not) … I want a box of Heritage.
