Here's the breakdown of what I got.
Base cards: 107/186 (including 3 SPs) (58%) (Non-SP base: 104/151 or 69%) (that's a lot of parenthesis)
The SPs:
Outside of the Mantle SP, the Pence RC SP is probably the best card to pull. |
Some of the notable rookies:
Daisuke hasn't exactly panned out, but those other two would make the base for a pretty damn good team. |
Checklists: 7/11
I love these checklists. I like that they're a part of the set but feature unique situations. It doesn't hurt that they are all horizontal, either. |
2007 was the pinnacle of Topps' Mantlemania. These cards are pretty sharp, though. |
I already had all these, but I like them anyway. |
I could have done without the Ad Back SPs. The 35 regular SPs were bad enough to begin with. |
I beat the odds (1:24) for an A-Rod Road to 500 card.
I also got a President as expected (1:12)
I'm a little out of breath from that last caption. I like the presidents set. |
The saving grace of the box...I got a chrome card. AND IT'S A REFRACTOR!!!
#413/999. 1:32 Packs |
Mmmrhubarb, it's yours if you want it. It's got a slight mark on the mound to the left of his shoes (it looks almost like a crack in the chrome, if that makes any sense). Other than that, it is an awesome card. The rainbow refraction makes it almost look 3-D.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with those two discounted blasters. I briefly considered chasing the set, but then I remembered that it has 35 SPs that are numbered sporadically in the base set. Not happening. Everything is for trade.

I'm definitely interested in trading for the SPs! Shoot me an email

Could you set the Utley aside for me?
