2009 Upper Deck Series 2 Starquest Box, 75 ct.
I did not want to lose this item on Listia since I'm collecting this set, and it's a high number series which I most lacking. Thought it would be a good opportunity to pick up a bunch of cards I needed.
It went for 15,605 which might be the most credits I've ever used to win something.
But I wanted it, I wanted it real bad.
Let's tear in to the 3-card Starquest pack first.
Meh, nothing I'm interested in and no uncommon or rare cards, all turquose common.
As a daughter read off the card numbers from the 75-card block, I give a woo-hoo when we came across one I needed and then she'd know to set those aside.
Of the 75 cards, I ended up with 14 that I needed.
Had hoped for more, but not too shabby.
These 3 Angels cards were in the dupes pile.
But I also pulled two 20th Anniversary cards.
These are numbered 1453 and 1378. Yikes!
What's this set numbered to? 5000?
Anyone crazy enough to collect this set?
Here now, is the best part of this box.
This card made the 15,605 credits worth it:
2009 Upper Deck USA National Team USAB-MG
These USA Baseball cards are a TOUGH pull and will probably be what keeps me from completing this set for a long time come.
But, all-in-all I'm happy.
Here's the cards still needed to get to the goal:

I tracked down all the Griffeys from that massive 20th Anniversary Retrospective set - just the Griffeys are like 24 cards. It's truly insane.
ReplyDeleteNice looking set. Ill give the Paelbon a good home
ReplyDeleteThrew it on the stack for you.
DeleteI'm not really putting any effort into it, but when I see the 20th Anniversary Retrospective cards super-cheap I pick them up. I believe I'm well over 1000 by now, but I don't see myself ever actually completing the set. I just don't feel like devoting a lot of money to put it together right now.
ReplyDeleteJust checked out my trade list and unfortunately no 2009 Upper Deck left. Thought I had some. Perhaps I should go and check out Listia...it's been ages since I've been there.
