I Swear Mister, It Was Already Opened

I bid on and won an already opened pack of 2008 Upper Deck X on Listia.

The pack was clearly listed as already opened and the contents were pictured for all to see.

That's why I bid.

I could clearly see what I needed towards the set I'm working on.

No wasting all those credits for cards I already had.

No sense in that.

Lost, however, was the adrenaline rush of ripping a pack to find a gem inside. 

But in this case it was an acceptable trade-off.

Didn't need any of these base cards.

The base set is done.

Always nice to see an Angel in there.

Didn't need this X-Cut.

I only need about 5 more X-Cuts and this wasn't one.

THIS is what I needed.

Hi Pat Burrell.

Welcome to my set.
