Target Splurge Post 3-Topps Value Boxes

This one is two boxes of 2012 Topps Value. These include 5 Packs of 2012 Flagship. 2 Packs of Hobby Heritage. A Bonus Refractor. As well as two golden giveaway codes which are kindling.

This one is quite a yawn. But here ya go:

Both Bonus Refractors were the Kid. And I'm ok with that!

Delmon Shiny Canary

Ryan Roberts Shiny Canary.

Todd Helton SP

Mike Stanton Picture Swap SP

Ugh. Told ya there wasn't much there. Tune in later this morning for the final post with the two guaranteed hits.

Target Splurge Post 2- The Fairfield Rack Packs

I bought four repacks-1 Basketball and 3 Baseball.

First, Let's Hoop it Up. I'm not a huge Basketball Guy but decided to take a chance with the 1:4 GU odds...I failed

What can I do with these shiny Bobcats? I'm looking at you Colbey!

A STAR Ad Card of the Mayor

Didn't get to see Karl as a player but I imagine he played like his hair was on fire.

A Vintage-y Phoenix Suns Team Leader Card

The Shaq Borders on this Broder are blinding. Cool card though.

Couldn't beat the odds and get a GU card soooo on to the Baseball-3 Packs Worth. Odds of a GU are 1:8 with 3 Vintage Cards per pack. Not sure what they classify as vintage? Let's see how I did:

These guys were fast in 1979

POPS

Intensity

Rookie Goodness

More Quasi Rookie Goodness

I'm guessing Eddie Murray didn't care for Capn Crunch

A PC Card

Another Quasi PC Card

I don't think of the Bull as an A

A nice Wiz

Good Card. Great Name

The other Bob Gibson

Guy I've never heard of Part 1-Keith Garagozzo

Part 2-Keith Drumright

Here is my vintage haul-I guess?

What's better than one Eric Soderholm?

Darold Knowles mustache seems to get darker on every vintage card I find of his

What the Hale? I only got seven cards from the 70's? Maybe they consider 1980 as vintage. Didn't beat the odds and find a gu either. O well. Up next-the Topps Value Boxes.

A Target Spending Spree-Part 1

I set out for Target today with my sights set on picking up some of those tackle boxes where you get the guaranteed hit, the couple of packs, coins, and loose cards. Alas, none were present. Those things sure seem to dry up quickly. I did however decide to just go ahead and lose my mind and buy some junk. The following posts will chronicle my findings.

2 3 Pack Dealios with the Guaranteed Hit

2 Reduced 2012 Value Boxes

The Pack and 50 Card Cube with the all important BONUS

Four good old fashioned Fairfield Repacks

Let's start our journey with the four pack/50 card box shall we....

O Jamie Moyer, he of the ageless wonder club, I never remember him as an Oriole

And I don't remember Papi as a Twin. I know he was, I just don't remember it.

Good ole fashioned glossy ALL-Stars

Aye Aye Capn

I now present-Guys I had never heard of that I pulled-Part I-Dennis Sarfate

Part II- Joe Inglett

Wow, Dan Wheeler got around in the early 00's

I suppose this was my bonus. Red would have looked so much better on this refractor

I did manage to sneak a hit of sorts with this ?Gold? Parallel of the Perfect Game Saving Former Bravo Dewayne

And then this exhibit from the just plain ugh category. UGH

Stay tuned...Up next will be the four Fairfield repacks.

Take my junk-10 for Trade on this Saturday

Completed a trade with Chris over on CCW and came out with some bait. See anything ya like? Let's do a blind trade! Just leave a comment and we will go from there!
