My contribution to the Transatlantic Triple Break was to provide three smaller dollar boxes for a triple box triple break!
First up is 2006 Upper Deck Future Stars - 5 Autos per box!
Here's the first pack - this was a window into the collation - lots of doubles. Each pack had one World Baseball Classic card. The box had no Pirates! What?
Parallels of /1799
Some more of the WBC cards - I think these are pretty cool.
And finally, those 5 signatures we were promised:
Ryan Rupe, Nelson Cruz (!), Jeremy Accardo, Alay Soler, and . . . . Huh? Oh, Man, it's a redemption. Insult added to injury, the redemption is of Martin Prado, who
apparently didn't sign for Upper Deck.
That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. I've added a stack of trade goodies to each package for Matt and Kevin as insurance in case they got skunked by a box, and also because I haven't sent much out recently...
Redemptions are the worst case scenario in those old boxes. At least it wasn't something like Mickey Mantle....
ReplyDeleteI think this was the best case scenario for a redemption since it wouldn't have mattered in 2006, either, as Prado didn't sign. If it was Mantle or Killebrew my head may have exploded.
DeleteI remember when that Dice-K card was a huge thing. Seems like so long ago now.
