It's too easy to grab certain packs at the LCS. These just kept jumping into the bag. I'm not complaining though. I wasn't really collecting in the late '90s or early '00s, so it's cool to finally open some of those packs.

Six "Star Rookies" whose careers consist of a 5.5 ERA and 65 HR.
Yikes. The only redeemable quality of these cards is what it says on A-Rod's:
"Sets mark for homers by ass on 9/23/01". At least, that's how I read it. There's also the grammatical issue where it could be interpreted as though he hit a bunch of homers on 9/23/01.
The Superstar Summit cards don't do much for me, but the Return of the Ace cards are pretty sweet.
Lastly, I managed to pull a really nice card:
This is a great looking Larkin relic with a hint of pinstripe. I was really surprised to get a HOFer relic from those packs.

Nice! I've actually had my eye on that Larkin on COMC for a bit. Might it be available for the right Hokie/Upton/Wright et al?
Although I may be in the minority, 2002 has always been one of my favorite Upper Deck sets.
Crappy rookies for sure, but damn that is a great card of Reed Johnson.
This set has some great rookies in it...and you didn't get any of them.
