The blaster that says 'bonus' is a beeeeeg annoyance.
7 packs plus one extra pack! Also known as: 8 packs! This 7-plus-
bonus rigamarole is a pet peeve. Let me inform you right off the
bat, as it were, that this blaster had nothing good in it, from our perspective. Exceptin' for this card:

This is possibly one of the greatest baseball cards ever made. We'll
do a post about just this card alone. It is the essence of all that is
good in the world.
How goofy is this shot? We thought it said Cincy Clusters, like
maybe a candy bar.

What do these two Rookie Star/Topps Magazine cards have in
common? They came in the same pack, which is interesting. Have
you mailed us your answer yet? Tap tap tap tap tap tap. Tippity
tap. We're waiting. Ok, fine. We'll tell you what these two cards of
Perez and Cruz have in common. Wild hair and crazed expressions,
that's what.

Kerry Wood is in his Indians uniform: good. Then there is Manny
being an '08 Red Sock. What about the World Series shot? Kind of
nifty. One deeply troubling aspect of this box is that there was only
one stinkin' Met card.

And then there was Evan. Does he kind of look very "Mr. Baseball"y
here?in this shot?:

Does he often strike that pose? Selected by the youth of America?

Don't you think baseball people would stay in better shape? But Mr.
Manuel certainly seems to know how to manage a team. This was a
good box for Cliff. He's getting all kindsa Phillies from this box.

You know, when you get right down to it, Detroit has a nice
uniform. But we very, very much wish this were a Curtis
Granderson card.

In crowd shots from the sixties, one thing always stands out:
people are not dressed like slobs.
I think you can pretty much trace the fall of western civilization to
the fact that men now wear baggy shorts and flip-flops in public.

If you have to have a team card, then it should look like this one.
Sharp.

"Sparks" is one of those text-on-the-back words. Along with
"cranks," "caps," "clinches," and "knocks."
"cranks," "caps," "clinches," and "knocks."
Shiiiiiiiiiinnnny! Mr. Ankiel looks quite square of jaw.
We KNOW we've seen that Zimmerman pic on the left before. On a
previous Heritage card, in fact. But that is not a good picture for a
baseball card on the right. It looks as if he's thinking, "Ack, another
baseball card photo session." Who will do worse this year, the
Nationals or the Mariners?
Oh, by the way. Did I mention that the Mets are going to win the
World Series?

cards but we don't have the completist urge.
