Jumbo Shrimp

 Now that's a great shot. This is the kind of card usually limited to Stadium Club, but I'm glad it found its way onto the flagship. That's the kind of thing that will make a collector start a "bat flip" mini-collection.

 The Jumbo Pack was a bit of a disappointment, actually, possibly because Bautista was on top, and set a nigh-on-impossible standard for the rest of the cards. Are those throwback unis for the Tribe, or is that their regular threads? Looks like a retro design, regardless...

The Mays card mentions the story of getting called up to the Giants while he was watching a movie in Sioux City, IA. The theater manager turned up the lights in the middle of the film to ask if a "Willie Mays" was in the audience. Pressed into Service is another pretty cool concept - I hope Adam Dunn's pitching appearance is in the set. I would have gone old school with the Dodgers' BACK to KCAB - Reese and Robinson? Koufax and Drysdale? (Maybe it's only position players?) The Bo Jackson reprint is all fine and dandy. Maybe it will inspire kids to go out and spend the 50 cents for the real thing in all its gum stainy, wood grainy glory. That card should not be glossy!
