2007 Topps Baseball Blaster

I picked up a couple $5 blasters from FYE in the local mall, one 2007 Topps and one 2008 Topps.  I'm not expecting much, but for five bucks apiece I was happy to pick some up.  I was surprised to see a fair amount of reasonably priced cards at FYE of all places.  The 2007 Topps blaster consists of 10 packs, 6 cards per pack, and one bonus 3-card pack with, in this case, Wal-Mart special cards.  I'll save the bonus pack for last.

Bonus Pack
WM25 Alex Rodriguez (classic design, classic pose, nice)

Not bad, a couple Zimmermans for the binder.  Wouldn't pay any more than $5 for it though.
