Greg of Night Owl would be happy with these colours. I am not sure about the yellow and blue stripes. The inserts are a nice design and 5 inserts out of 25 is a pretty good ratio.

First Post

Busting packs is something that all card collectors like to do. The popularity of 'A Pack a Day' shows the seriousness with which people open packs. I believe that most collectors are not looking for the 'HITS' in a pack, although it is an added bonus to get a short print, an autograph, a numbered card, a relic and even a card you need to complete a set. As another collector exquisitely described it '..the thrill of the hunt..'
I have been keeping of a record of the packs I bust for a while now and the intention of this blog is to share the packs I open.
I keep all the Red Sox cards and try to trade the rest.
