2005: Throwback Threads, Elite, Bowman Best, LCM, & Misc.

[antuany]

I was at my local grocery store, and happened upon a stash of ’05 Hobby Edition packs for relatively cheap (Throwback Threads for $1.50/pack, Elite for $2.20, & Leaf Certified Materials for $3.60), so on the weekend that I told myself I wouldn’t be spending money on cards, I ended up buying quite a few – I couldn’t pass up the bargains. None were in sealed boxes, but all the packs from the boxes were there.

I’ll start with the ’05 Bowman’s Best ($4.45/pack) (10 packs)
