1 foil mini
5 black minis
20 regular minis
(packs with black or foil minis also had a regular mini)
1 auto - Ken Griffey Sr.
2 GU - Palmer and Thome
2 inserts - 1 Animal Series - 1 Citizen OF The Day
10 of those stupid 20th anniversary cards - not good to include so damn many of those in a 5 card pack. Takes away getting a real card from the set since they count as 1 of the cards. Only get 100 cards in a box and having 10 of them be those pieces of crap is pathetic.
Ok rant over
Highlights:
My Registry Sets
Too bad these won't be produced in the future...or at least a modified version with no MLB license.
Sweet looking Daisuke card....are there parallel versions? Auto's?

Haven't looked at the checklist yet cause I kind of like being surprised as I rip them. Although I did see a Dice-K GU card on ebay during my daily search yesterday.
This is definitely UD's version of A & G. They have a bit of the upper hand at the moment since this is the first release, there's a lot more stars that had been spread out over AG's 4 years all in one. Cheaper than AG and 1 auto per box vs 1 every 2 or 3 with AG.
Not a huge Upper Deck fan since I grew up with Topps and remain loyal but these cards get a big thumbs up
same mini spread
1 foil
5 black
20 reg
and 1 mini printing plate - Johnny "get out of here" Bench
1 dude auto
2 GU
1 Citizen Of The Day
and my little rant about the 20th anniversary set must have been heard - still got 10 of them but 3 good ones
same mini ratio
Joe Alexander auto looks like it was signed during one of his bull riding runs. Either that or he's 103 years old
How much could I expect to pay for a box at the hobby shop?

<< <i>Box 5
must find more - anyone seen any blasters yet? >>
What kind of sig is that by Hellmuth??
(those minis are silver, not blue)
Any interest in my Johnny Bench printing plate before I ebay it?
<< <i>nice to see someone else breaking these. At least you got some baseball autos. I'll be up for some trading once I open my next batch - hopefully tomorrow Any interest in my Johnny Bench printing plate before I ebay it? >>
Nice! Looking forward to some trades. I say go for it on the bay with the Bench plate! Bill
The list of what I need as of now is on my site but with more to open, I'm sure that will change
<< <i>thats a pretty nice looking set for a modern issue. Logistically will it be a nightmare to "complete'? >>
It depends what you mean by "complete." To get everything including a set of autos, bug cards, and Magician back minis, would be tough. But the base set and a set of minis is around the same difficulty as Ginter, probably.
pack 2 of box 1 - Landmark redemption
7 reg SPs I needed
4 mini SPs I needed and these:
shame I already have both GU though
Awesome that they're on card and using surfing icons too. All of these guys are the pioneers of the sport. Stoked!
<< <i>Where did you get your blasters? I've been looking all over for them. 2/$30 is a great price. >>
+1 - I want some blasters at that price too
nice pulls from 2 blasters
Nice pulls Mike!
<< <i>OK is it just me or does the card of Masterson look like "Carl" in Sling Blade?
Nice pulls Mike! >>
umm hmm. I reckon it does...
Hey guys - sorry 'bout the late reply.
Got 'em at local "small-town" Wal-Mart (not a supercenter) - they were running an in-store special on collectibles (discount taken at the register). I was surprised when they rang up that way also.
Our WM usually has all the new blaster boxes......also, a couple times, have seen some "vending boxes" (1987) and some "factory sets" with bonus cards.
I've pegged the approximate time when the lady usually arrives so I can see what new stuff she unpacks....interesting, as all different "brands" arrive in like 3 huge generic brown boxes - even the pokemon, webkins, and dnd crap is in there too!
I rechecked this morning, and as of 10:00am today, there were no other Goodwin boxes on the shelf.
Cool lookin' cards - I like the 20 year review inserts - wonder what the insert will look like for the advent of the internet and online porn
