I quit collecting years ago, but got back into it once my son started. Now it is something we can do together. It also brings the fun back, because he gets just as excited getting an Angels card out of a retail pack than some people do pulling an auto or relic out of an overpriced hobby box.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:14:57 +0000 http://handcollated.wordpress.com/?p=3323#comment-1659 I did the same thing when I first heard that was how they were distributing series 2 blacks. That makes the third product I've boycotted for lame distribution methods, and the second from 09 Topps. The others were the Topps base set variations (that are super short printed already and then bunches of them are piled into single blasters) and the 08/09 O-Pee-Chee hockey Update set that was sold in packs of five cards, two of which are the Metal (Chrome) parallels and another retro parallel card. Two actual cards per pack! Forget it. I did the same thing when I first heard that was how they were distributing series 2 blacks.

The design may be a tad boring but the selection of players is quite interesting. The moustaches and hair styles are worth at least a few packs. :) <a href="http://www.canadacardworld.com" rel="nofollow">Canada Card World</a> <a href="http://www.canadacardworld.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Canada Card World - The Blog</a> Although not household names, long-time collectors like myself and loving the fact that we can get our hands on hard-signed autos of long retired players.

Clean design, fairly good photography. Now the 1995 set was obviously LSD induced. One of my all-time favorite sets. Clean design, fairly good photography.
