Topps, OpeeChee, Bowman, UD Retail Pack Breaks

[outtahere]

I think I am through with retail for awhile. Only dropped about $15, but don't really have alot to show for it.

2009 OpeeChee (complete garbage of a set. The only credit I would give it would be if it was printed on recycled cardboard, because thats sure what it looks and feels like. I got 87 Topps that were wet that look better. Alot of critics said it made them feel like they were young again. Well, the cards were ugly and cheap when I was young and I still love them now, but now we have seen better and I expect better now. Don't get me started about the lack of inserts.)
