Checklist

Pack 8
#108 Evan Longoria RC 1st
#130 Brian Barton RC numbered 714/999 !
#116 Johnny Cueto RC
#4 Todd Helton
#29 Delmon Young

This is my favourite shot from all the cards I pulled.


According to the checklist there are 150 base cards, of which 50 are Rookies. A further 35 Autographed rookie cards and 50 Beam Team Autographs.I pulled 31 base cards, 9 rookies (1 double) and 0 autographs, but there were 4 Red Sox cards. It is always Dustin or David, never Jacoby!

The card 130 is a mystery to me, two different pictures, same player. One is numbered ?
