I’m back with what I hope will be a regular series. Did you miss the other installments? Well, you can either scroll down a couple posts or check out the “Trade Bait” link at the top of the blog. There’s a 1/1, some other low numbered parallels and a few autos among others in there.
No takers on the Alex Rodriguez relics so far, eh? I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised. That probably means I won’t have any takers on the additional A-Rod cards you’ll see below, either. Maybe there will be something in here for you.
pack 11
Pack 11 turns out to be a pretty dang good one. A Miguel Cabrera blue and a Clay Buchholz auto. If I were to sell those two cards alone, I would make up to 1/3rd of my cost back. Did I mention that there aren’t tons of good rookies in here? Votto is the best name, Clay is probably second best. Who wants it?
other Miguel Wright
I only had a couple other David Wrights, no other Uptons and we saw Timmy in the first edition of this series. Evidently, I had a lot of luck with Miggy in my 2007 boxes including that black parallel.
other Clemens
Anyone still collect an alleged cheater? Someone’s gotta, right? I’ll put aside the Astro for Sam. Let me know if you want the rest.
the better Autos
Now that we’ve found the second auto in the box, it’s time to show the other half of the autos found in my previous 3 boxes. Lugo may not quite compare to Napoli and Tulo, but at least he had something of a career. Has? Is he still playing? I don’t know. Tom from The Angels, In Order just may want that Napoli. Will someone come to the table for the Tulo?
pack 12
I’m seeing a lot of the same players over and over. When one of them is a black version of Adrian Gonzalez, though, it’s tough to complain.
last of the A-Rods
Those four sideways cards were my box topper packs in my two 2007 boxes. They did a cross-product road to 500 thing. M&M only had a certain run of home runs that were only available in those boxes. All of these are of Alex as a Mariner if that helps make anyone’s mind up. Don’t forget, I have two of the wall relics up for grabs, too!
pack 13
Hooray! Another Frank Thomas! That’s staying with me. How about a couple more Hanleys for you guys?
pack 14
We’re nearing the end of the box and there are a lot of players we’ve already seen once. There are a couple more Dodger Sheffields for Night Owl, a Pujols for Madding, a Maddux for me and the rest for who knows!
I’ll be back soon with the rest. I know you’re as anxious as I am.
I’m always anxious for more Community Gum!
