It’s clear to me that 2009 Goodwin Champions is going to be my cheapo baseball card fix for the rest of the year. Priced at $1.99 per pack (4 cards per), I don’t feel too guilty about buying a couple packs whenever I am at a big box store. I just need to stay away from those blasters — $19.99 is a hard pill to swallow these days.
Pack 1: Ted Williams, Paul Molitor, Koji Uehara MINI, Buffalo Bill Cody
Another one for the Red Sox collection
Pack 2: Hiroki Kuroda, Smarty Jones MINI, Carlos Delgado BLACK MINI, Adrian Peterson Anniversary card
I love this card ... and I am not even a horse racing mark.
Good opportunity to show off the back of the black minis.
Pack 3: Evelyn Ng (poker player), Chris Volstad, Albert Pujols MINI, Matt Holiday.
Comments: Three packs, 12 total cards — 8 baseball players, a poker player, a football player, a “Wild West Showman” and a fucking horse. This stuff is awesome. In all seriousness, this is the kind of enjoyment I like out of cheapo packs. I loved the Teddy Ballgame in pack No. 1, loved the contents of Pack No. 2 — the Smarty Jones is pretty kick ass, even though I am not a horse racing guy — and the Pujols Mini in Pack No. 3 was worth the price of admission, to use a cliche. I have an affinity to Pujols cards — base cards, parallels, inserts, game-used, whatever. I love them ALL.
