I broke down and bought another blaster yesterday on the way home in the hopes of pulling a Griffey rookie manupatch (ended up with Rickey Henderson) and got another Greenberg. I was going to PWE it to you if you didn't get one!<br /><br />The refracting "Chasing History" cards come in rack packs, two to a pack as far as I can tell. I also got two in my rack pack.<br /><br />My cards came from Walmart, so they had blue borders where Target has red. I think the blue looks better, but I prefer the plain ol' white border. And I much prefer shopping at Target.<br /><br />And nice die-cut! I have yet to pull one.....The Junior Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276740693294231134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-79695543166417658202013-01-30T08:39:20.946-06:002013-01-30T08:39:20.946-06:00You might think the Padre throwbacks are ugly but ...You might think the Padre throwbacks are ugly but they are not as bad as the camo jerseys they wear.<br /><br />As a team collector I hate the Target/Walmare parallels but I still must track them all down.

Nice pulls, Dime box. <br /><br />I'm hoping to pull retro Padres, the Rayburn and the Inge too. <br /><br />I passed on blasters at Walmart today for a hobby box tomorrow. In glad you didn't as this post is a great preview and you clearly did well. Fun stuff.
