Sure, why not?

I found myself in a blue parallel store after work the other night.  Its very interesting who you see there at 11pm, but that's a different story.

I found myself on the card looking to scratch the pack busting itch.  I didn't want to buy any 2014 base because even though I don't have either series complete, I'm at the point of diminishing returns.  More dupes is not on the agenda.

Then I saw this:

My first thought was "$1.98?  Sure, why not?"

My second thought was "2008?  Have these been floating around the store for 6 years?"

If you'll notice the packs says "34 cards plus 2 Rookie Debut cards".  That's not what I got.  I got 33 base cards, 2 different inserts, and 1 card that I think is from a different UD product.

So let's see the highlights:



















Ok, that's not fair.

I actually have some of the Angels from this set already, courtesy of a big eBay lot I bought.  But all three of these are new to me.  This set harkens back to early Stadium Club for me.  I think its actually a pretty sharp design. Clean look, full color bleed, glossy stock.

These are the inserts I got instead of the Rookie Debut inserts.  Is it possible the pack was searched a re-sealed?  Eh..not the end of the world.

This card is apparently from 2008 Upper Deck Yankee Stadium Legacy, which as far as I know is separate from 2008 Upper Deck.  Then again, I was long out of the hobby in 2008, so what do I know?

I guess that will get rid of the pack-busting itch.  For a little while anyway.
