I can't resist getting a discounted blaster at Wal-Mart. I see it on the shelf and I must purchase it. Even when I enter the store looking to pick up a rack pack, I then bypass the rack pack for a discounted blaster. This time around I bought a blaster of 2008 Upper Deck X. I am a big fan of the X-Ponential insert set. They are flashy and futuristic looking. The base cards from 2008 Upper Deck X remind me of a gimmicky 90s set which is a compliment. The 90s were awesome for many reasons including the card sets that were released. Any modern set that brings me back to the 90s is always a welcoming sign.
I am not sure if a box of cards have been featured at the Platter before. This box just looks awesome. It looks like a movie poster and I am jacked up about seeing an action extravaganza. Lets go and see some cardboard!

J.J. Hardy GU Jersey UDXM-JH
The one guaranteed hit was a little disappointing. The Hardy jersey is at least blue so it has some color. All the cards listed above that aren't colored blue are up for trade. Please leave a comment or send me an email if you want to set up a trade.
I will gladly take the King Felix and any Tigers off your hands
ReplyDeleteI'm working on this set. Maybe we can work out a trade.
