Standing in line at my local Dollar Tree, after having grabbed a large padded envelope and a box of peel-n-stick envelopes, I noticed a box of football cards next to the counter. I don't usually pick up random packs of football cards, but this pack called to me.
You guys know these packs.
A buck each, usually no more than 5 cards, and ZERO chance of pulling a hit.
But hey, they're only a buck!
Here they are in order.
Drew Brees #54
Former Super Bowl Champion and MVP.
And all-around good guy.
Cool.
Lamar Miller #12
Now we're getting relevant: a playoff guy from this season, that's kinda neat.
But here is where this pack starts to get spooky:
Matt Ryan #61
Just lost the Super Bowl, he's pointing towards the EXIT sign.
Duke Johnson #19
Meh.
But now I freak out:
Tom Brady #42
Whaaaaaaaat?
What are the odds of opening a pack of cards less than two weeks after the Super Bowl and finding both starting quarterbacks inside?
Amazing.
And as a bonus, The Super Bowl MVP is also featured on the Panini Gridiron App card.
Nice looking Matt Ryan card. He is one of my non Steelers player collections.
ReplyDeleteI often pick up those packs from Dollar Tree. On one trip out of 5 packs, or maybe one of my overboard trips of grabbing a huge hand full of a dozen packs I had two packs that had the exact same 5 cards.
ReplyDeleteOn a recent trip I also picked up some of those 20 card repacks of baseball cards, and one of those packs had a duplicate in a bag so that I had 19 unique cards out of the 20 in the bag.
