Allen & Ginter Blaster Break!

2010 Allen & Ginter, that is.  Sorry if I got you withthe tease, but I found this A&G blaster at the Big K discounted $12.71 including PA Sales Tax.  Here are the highlights:



Some favorite cards and Stars (click any pix to enlarge):

2010 Allen & Ginter King Tut
2010 Allen & Ginter Buster Posey
2010 Allen & Ginter Raul Ibanez
2010 Allen & Ginter Matt Kemp

The Ibanez card was the sole Phillies card in the pack.  Kind of like there season - 1 Phils Card per Blaster, 1 Phils Win per week.

Short Prints

Sheets is going to be back in baseball w/ the Braves I think.  Sort of a Phungo favorite.

Inserts

I got one of the two "This Day in History"/Birthday Cards I needed.  The Matsui Card celebrates one of the crummier days in recent Phils history - and it is a Dupe in the Phungo Collection - Fail.

Phungo 5 Pack - Topps 2009 Heritage Hi Numbers....

In lieu of getting a blaster I picked up 5 packs of the 09 Topps Heritage High Numbers at the Philly Card Show. If you want to read a specific pack break on the first pack check here for my post over at A Pack to be Named Later.

The five packs were as expected 30 heritage cards and 10 U&H cards. Every back broke down as 3 Heritage followed by 2 U&H then the insert and the final 2 heritage cards.

I got two Phils, The J A Happ card below and a John Mayberry card which is featured in the APtbNL post. Former Phil Jim Thome was also present.

This action shot of Thome may be picture 4 in the link.

The Inserts

Rookie Performers Tommy Hanson, Chrome Trevor Hoffman, and Then and Now featuring a player from my favorite AL team and my least favorite NL team. Hopefully Wright doesn't play long enough to be paired with Mike Schmidt in a future Heritage T&N. The other 2 inserts I picked up were short prints of Andrew McCutchen and Penn Alum Mark DeRosa.

Rookies

Picked up both versions of the Gerardo Parra card - he was the top of the rookies in the 5 packs other than McCutchen.

Etc
Photoshop anyone?? or did the Giants send Garko to spring training after picking him up on July 27th.
