Blaster 1
Pack 1
165 Carl Crawford
54 Travis Hafner
56 Matt Holliday
YSL5273 Yankee Stadium Legacy Kevin Maas (I've got like 100 of these YSL cards sitting around, I have no idea what to make of them)
36 Alfonso Soriano Black (not big on one-per-pack inserts, but I do like color of these a little more than the base cards)
Pack 2
7 John Smoltz
101 Joe Mauer
3 Chris Young
33 Carl Yastrzemski
106 Pedro Martinez
Pack 3
175 Ian Kinsler
114 Derek Jeter
127 Joe DiMaggio
60 Curtis Granderson
60 Curtis Granderson Black (Granderson hot pack...kinda boring since its only a black parallel)
Pack 4
72 Josh Willingham
177 Carlton Fisk / Carl Yastrzemski
43 Jermaine Dye Beige #'ed 062/299 (and I thought the base cards were beige...really? a beige parallel...that's a sign you have used too many colors, if you get to beige)
YSL5248 Yankee Stadium Legacy Jim Leyritz (and yet another YSL)
11 Jeff Francoeur Black
Pack 5
7 John Smoltz
101 Joe Mauer
194 Brandon Webb / Justin Verlander / Felix Hernandez (cool, a verlander I didn't have)
79 Alex Gordon
170 Vernon Wells Black
Pack 6
156 Albert Pujols
47 Ken Griffey Jr.
71 Andrew Miller
174 Lastings Milledge
16 Cal Ripken Jr. Black (nice card...very likely a 3-HOFer pack...what HEROES should be all about)
Pack 7
70 Dan Uggla
121 Yogi Berra
73 J.R. Towles RC
196 Derek Jeter / Ken Griffey Jr. / Cal Ripken Jr. / Ichiro (wow, what a beautiful card)
62 Magglio Ordonez Black
Pack 8
30 Dustin Pedroia
77 Hunter Pence
186 Vladimir Guerrero / Ichiro / Manny Ramirez (if this had Thome instead of ManRam, it'd be an awesome card)
148 Barry Zito
193 Nolan Ryan / Greg Maddux / Randy Johnson Black (who doesn't love this card)
Pack 9
54 Travis Hafner
19 Mike Lowell
45 Nick Swisher Red #'ed 038/249 (ok, so the red looks pretty good, but not a big Swisher fan)
YSL3571 Yankee Stadium Legacy Joe Pepitone (YSL #3 for this box...)
83 Torii Hunter Black
Not a bad box - two numbered parallels - but no hit; better luck next time.
Oh...it's next time already...
Blaster 2
Pack 1
135 Chase Utley
157 Troy Glaus
178 Albert Pujols / Stan Musial
58 Garrett Atkins
112 Chien-Ming Wang Black
Pack 2
140 Freddy Sanchez
165 Carl Crawford
44 Paul Konerko
103 Rod Carew
80 Matt Cain Black
Pack 3
48 Adam Dunn
93 Chin-Lung Hu RC
21 David Ortiz
150 Rich Hill
193 Nolan Ryan / Greg Maddux / Randy Johnson Black (dejavu all over again...)
Pack 4
25 Kevin Youkilis
117 Jorge Posada
46 Corey Hart
188 Alex Rodriguez / Derek Jeter / Robinson Cano (not a Yanks fan, but this is a pretty darn good trio)
63 Gary Sheffield Black
Pack 5
30 Dustin Pedroia
77 Hunter Pence
22 Manny Ramirez
50 Johnny Bench
16 Cal Ripken Jr. Black (another black from the first box, but still a great card)
Pack 6
168 Luke Scott
33 Carl Yastrzemski
178 Albert Pujols / Stan Musial
YSL5126 Yankee Stadium Legacy Don Mattingly (YSL #4 for those keeping count)
98 Ben Sheets
Pack 7
19 Mike Lowell
10 Brian McCann Jersey (nice red jersey, but not my ideal hit. Not a big Braves fan, but McCann's not bad, I guess...)
89 James Loney Black
Pack 8
83 Torii Hunter
106 Pedro Martinez
130 Rich Harden
159 Chris Duncan
182 Ichiro / Kosuke Fukudome Black (hey, this card is Blackanese...
Pack 9
149 Tim Lincecum
129 Bill Hall
117 Jorge Posada Brown #'ed 037/149 (nice, a below-200 numbered parallel, but brown? and I thought beige was a stretch, I guess it's better than a burnt sepia parallel...)
YSL5101 Tommy John (Of course YSL#5 in the last pack)
4 Justin Upton Black (Nice finish, a Justin Upton I wanted. It's so cool getting his cards; I still remember him as the little kid in my mom's second grade class)
A few numbered parallels, a hit, a couple cards I really like, and couple cards I wanted for the PC. No particular attachment to any but the Upton and Verlander, so if you want to trade, let me know.

2 pretty good blasters you scored. I am trying to complete this set myself. I need base #s 7, 25, 48, 72, 101, 103, 114, 117, 135, 157, 168, 175. Also need the Blacks #'d 16, 112, 193. Shoot me an e-mail and maybe we can work a trade.
