2010 Topps Series 2

[Audax5150]

As an old-school collector lost in the modern version of the hobby, I did the only thing I know how to do: buy boxes of packs and tear 'em open. I ordered 3 hobby boxes of 2010 Topps Series 2, which arrived today. I got a lot of cool looking stuff, but I really don't have much of an idea of how good they really are (well, I have an idea on some things) aside from analyzing the odds listed on the pack. Here's what I got, you guy let me know how I did.

2x Jason Heyward base rookies. A few other RC's but I didn't recognize any names.

Nice break man.

Nice break man. I had almost the same reaction you had when I broke open my first series 2. Since then I've broken series 1 & 2 and I have to say its been pretty fun. Especially the million card giveaway code! You could probably sell/trade those for a decent pull unused or have fun going online and hoping to pull some nice old cards.

Are any of those 59 Years of Collecting cards the black border and paralleled to #59? If so I would be willing to buy/trade for those. If you are interested in building that set I would love to send some of my cards your way to help you for a trade.
