2009 Goudey Blaster Break:Trade Bait Edition

I have posted about my 2008 Goudey box break, a blaster break of 2009 Goodwin, I have an upcoming post about a 2007 Masterpieces box break and now we have a blaster break of 2009 Goudey.  I am kind of a retro set junkie.  I do like some of the shine of chrome sets but, I am really into the retro sets.  I love how legends are included into the set.  I do agree that some of these all timers need to be retired from baseball card sets.  I'll let Night Owl write about that.

This blaster was picked up on sale at Wal-Mart.  Wal-Mart seems to usually have some random blasters for sale.  I am going to change things up a bit at the Platter.  I am going to post a break by pack.  This system seems to work well on other blogs and makes it easier to make a trade.  This will also help set and team collectors find cards that they desire rather than only showing inserts and hits.

Cards listed in blue are for my PC.  Everything else is for trade.

This is a very cool edition of Goudey.  I like the Goudey sets because they use a lot of bright colors on the cards.  Some retro sets use darker colors that can look boring as your opening several packs of the product.  I got some good keepers for my collection and I also got some good trade bait.  There are some solid inserts and base cards that I hope other bloggers will claim.

The biggest difference between the 2008 Goudey and the 2009 Goudey is that Jeter or Griffey's face isn't on the corner of every card.  Which, in my opinion, is a good thing.  I also wish that I was able to pull more minis.  Mini cards are a joy to pull in retro sets and I only pulled two.  Both minis are of players that I don't collect.  Oh well.  All the cards listed above that are in black ink are for trade.
