Well, I just posted my pathetic Holiday Blaster Box pull, but while I was at Target I grabbed two retail packs of cards. NO I AM NOT COLLECTING AGAIN! I'll probably give away the base cards I pulled. Anyways...

2006 VIP, all base (18, 31, 54, 85). Nothing great.

2006 American Thunder. I got worried immediately. I opened it up and saw the cardboard insert and another white card with the security stamp, so I thought the pack was doomed. I pulled three base (40, 55, 89) and...

Reed Sorenson - 2006 Rookie Thunder Autograph 179/350
I appologize for the quality. My scanner decided not to work anymore.

My first ever Sorenson autograph and I had over 300 autographs before I quit collecting. Not bad for $6 worth of packs lol.

Very nice pull!! The barbs are strong when they start trying to reel you back into the collecting realm again... See you again at Target tomorrow :)

lol, not a chance. It had been a looooong time since I opened a pack and thought I'd give it a shot. I don't plan on going back.

On another note, I noticed that this card is #92... Is this actually part of the base set?

Yep. The American Thunder "Rookie Thunder" Autos are technically part of the base set.

So if you happen to be someone who builds sets, you would need to get ALLLL of the Rookie Autos just to make the set.

Bad move by PP. Thats why I stopped building sets, and buying as much as I used to...I just stick to trading for my guys, or eBay for my P/C collections.

very nice pull alex..i got bowyer in a WAT blaster last month

SWEET card Alex!!! :appl: Slowly you are coming back to collecting.......... :der:

But yes, as a set builder, I agree... A VERY BAD move by Press Pass to include the autos as a part of the set!!! :doh: :nono:
