Pack Break...Secret Pal Time


It’s secret pal time at the jobby job and that means gifts, gifts, and more gifts. When they say giving is better than receiving, I think they were referring to secret pal. The best part of giving is being incognito and stealth, two things of which I have many years of training and with my background as a ninja, I am the best at this game. Well the gift giving has begun, and on Friday I got my first gift. Naturally, on my secret pal sheet I put things related to the Dodgers and baseball. My first gift? A gigantic foil heart gift bag filled with a football and baseball pillow, a yellow bag of M & M’s, Elmo stickers, boxers, a candle and two packs of Topps Series 1. Awesome! Here’s the grab:

2010 Topps Series 1 Pack 1
Kyle Blanks
Denard Span
Ivan Rodriguez
Nate Schierholtz
Braden Looper
Matt Holliday
History of the Game Nolan Ryan 7th No-Hitter
Brian Roberts When They Were Young
Todd Helton Toppstown
Lance Berkman
Jair Jurrjens
Garret Anderson

Nice start with the Kyle Blanks card. I saw him so many times last season and never had anything for him to sign. I got him on an IC and took a photo with him. But now I got a card, so hopefully I can get it signed. I’m thinking of sending out to Anderson and Schierholtz this season as well.

Pack 2
Neftali Feliz
Adam LaRoche
Jason Kendall
Joe Blanton
AL HR Leaders Pena, Teixeira & Bay
AL RBI Leaders Teixeira, Bay & Lind
NL RBI Leaders Fielder, Howard & Pujols
History of the Game Ruth Sold To The Yankees
Clint Sammons When They Were Young
Kevin Youkilis Toppstown
Hideki Matsui
Casey Blake

What’s with all the Leaders cards? Sheesh three in a row! My second Casey Blake, will be nice trade bait, let’s see what it brings me.

Can’t complain about the packs at all. My secret pal did an awesome job! Nice work on the Topps. Makes you wonder if my secret pal knows me a little too well, and went with the Topps over the UD or was just lucky. Hmmm… Not sure if the Target and Wal-Mart packs have different inserts, I do know the Target packs come with red backs and Wal-Mart blue (duh!) but I also got those when they were young cards that I never got in the Wally World packs. Totally stoked with the Blanks and Blake pulls! I have an awesome secret pal, but I’m already wondering if there’s an accomplice.
