Birthday Box Break: 2008 UD APOH Box 2 Part 2

Time for the finale.  The first half of the box was very nice with a low numbered parallel, a low number relic, a Capote relic, and an awesome Braves pitcher triple relic. Only thing left guaranteed is the rookie auto...

Pack 9:
136 Nyjer Morgan RC
192 Liberty Bell
122 Luke Hochevar RC
120 Felipe Paulino RC Autograph #496/499

>>> It just wouldn't be me if I didn't pull a ton of Red Sox pitchers.  Oh yeah, and the Pujols jersey is nice.  Wait...that's a fifth hit, and it's the Machine!!! I'll take it! I'm convinced that these boxes should have 5 guaranteed hits.  I've opened 4 boxes now and I've gotten 21 hits.

That does it for the two birthday boxes.  As far as base cards, I got pretty much all of the same cards I already had.  After 4 boxes (and probably 50 other cards I had before these) I still need 17 for my set (and about 50 for a second set). I was hoping at this point to have one complete set and most of a second, but that is not the case.  I guess I'll have to buy a couple more boxes before I can give away a complete set in a contest on here.
