Listening: Talking Heads Talking Heads: 77
I picked up two packs while making a Target run Friday evening and saved them for this morning. Holding packs until Sunday is much easier when the trades keep rolling in :) Let's rip these bad Oscars:
1. My third Contenders fat pack of the season. 18 base cards, half of which I already have. Oh well, a little something to add to the For Trade list.
The wrapper promises one Green or Purple parallel. I lucked out and got one of each, including a LeBron in his Lakers uniform.
2. Next up one of the weird Prizm multi-packs. I like Prizm but I often feel as though I don't get much bang for the buck and the parallels are endless. I just checked the other day and counted 36 parallels for the Webber #165. 36?!?! 15 cards total in the pack starting with eight new base cards.
The Prizm pack wraps up with three inserts and four parallels. I hit a Webber Red, White & Blue parallel! However, I bought a cheap copy on eBay last month. I never, never, get Webber's in packs.
In logging these packs in TCDB I noticed that the LeBron Purple parallel is SN25. And my copy is 01/25! I totally missed that when ripping the pack. A very pleasant surprise and a pretty darn good hit for a $5 fat pack. Might be worth a little something to a LeBron or Lakers collector...
Always enjoy reading your ramblings. Keep up the great work.
