As I mentioned previously, Rod included 4 unopened packs of cards for me to rip and enjoy myself.
The first two packs were 1996 Pinnacle Denny's Holograms cards.
There are 28 cards in the set, Tim Salmon being the only Angels representative. Let's see what I get.
Jeff Bagwell, good pull. The set is loaded with stars so you really can't go wrong.
Each pack includes this blank-back info card, which is also cool, but I already have one in my Info Cards Binder. It's interesting that Coca-Cola is a sponsor, but the only indication is a small Coke logo on the back.
Not Salmon (it's okay, I already have one) but another star in Wade Boggs is a good pull although I'm not a Boggs fan.
It might be a nice little set to collect. I'll have to think about that.
The next two packs were 1992 Upper Deck Minor League which is great because it's a set I'm collecting, so this will be really fun. My money is on that Rod somehow knew that and this is not just a coincidence. I'm down to needing just 11 base cards, the two PROMO cards, six of the Top Prospect Holograms (1:18) and most of the Player of the Year inserts (1:9). Hopefully I'll get a hologram card which is a tough pull.
PACK 1
Off to a great start, I needed two out of this pack: Mitchell and Mieske. Also pulled two Angels which is always nice.
PACK 2
Unfortunately, I have all of these, but that's what happens when you're down to needing just nine base cards. Still enjoyed the thrill of the rip though.
Thanks for thinking of me Rod.
Autograph signing Turk Wendell wins it.
ReplyDeleteI really like this set.. It's one I've been thinking about going for at some point. .
ReplyDeleteCool packs. I bought 40 packs of the 1996 Denny's off of eBay last year. Gonna try and build a hand collated set at some point.
ReplyDeleteI love 1996 Denny's Holograms and making the image on the cards move around. It wasn't a Major League set, but 1992 Upper Deck Minor League Edition was a fun set.
ReplyDeleteMan, the holograms from Denny's never get old. I love those cards.
