Retail breaks: 7th innings stretch boxes!

[GilbertArenas0]

Was at the px chilling out and stuff and checked to see if they had any new cards. They were fully loaded with the 7th inning stretch boxes! I grabbed 2, a $9.99 pack ($50 bv) and the latest baseball beckett plus, which added up to $50. Then headed to the newly built Target nearby (only 1 in Alaska I think), and they're more loaded than the px or any Wal-Mart in town! They care about the collectors! There was 07 Sweet Spot Tins with one GU/Auto per, and other nice stuff in other sports. But I spent all my cash on the other junk.

Hoping these packages wolud have something hot, I open the $9.99 pack.

Disaster! I couldn't find any of these in my beckett and i'd be surprised as heck if these even were worth $10!

1996 Pacific Collection Rickey Henderson
1997 Pacific Collection Alex Gonzalez
2000 Private Stock D'Angelo Jimeniz rc
1999 Pacific Ben Grieve
1990 Swell Greats Babe Ruth ( i guess this is the big card)
2005 Classic Clippings Russ Adams

Hope the 7th inning boxes are better...

Edit: I'll open tomorrow, hard to stay awake...

Lots of weirdness here. The Beltre is the same one I got in my first ever box of this, Rasmus is the same as the other one in the other box I opened at the same time, amd the complete set and star card is the same in all three boxes!

Can't win 'em all. Lesson learned: Go to Target!

honestly man.. your better off just saving up for hobby boxes.
these ppl who make those dont load them down with SICK Cards ever.. just a bunch of junk most of the time! i always stay away from those things.

those /36 cards are pretty neat though, to be from back in 01 when /36 was actually rare..
now days /10 and 1 is nothing LOL

I know man, but those things are like DRUGS! Sad part is I had enough cash for a nice hobby box.
