Oldies blaster break: 2011 Topps Allen & Ginter

Alright, so today i went on the journey to pick the The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on blu-ray and i found a glory box sitting on the shelf at my local target on sale for $11.99.

I've had some pretty good luck ripping discounted blasters. I don't buy them that much unless of course they're topps products. For those of you who are new to my blog, i previously purchased a discounted box of 2012 Topps Heritage back in October. In the third pack i struck gold. I found a Clubhouse Collection Relic Auto of Clayton Kershaw #'d 8/25. My first ever CC auto. AND NO IT'S NOT FOR TRADE.

anyways, enough of me bragging.

Pack 1

• - Checklist 3 of 5
• -  #HH2 Colby Rasmus Hometown Heroes 
• - Mark Buehrle Mini #181 A&G back
• - #329 Alex Gordon SP
• - AOM19 Hominini
• - #248 Ervin Santana

pretty good pack, it's pretty bad when you start off with a checklist, but i can't complain. i need most of these cards, the Ervin Santana is up for grabs.

Pack 2

• FF13 Floating Fortresses HMS WARRIOR
• #336 Kevin Kouzmanoff SP two short prints i needed in back to back packs. this box so far is turning out to be a win

MY BLASTER BOX LUCK CONTINUES!
