2007 UD Elements Break

I decided to have some fun and break the free packs of 07 UD Elements from Dave & Adam's tonight since everyone passed out already, and if I opened stuff it means I won't continue to keep eating cookies. I have a real addiction to cookies, it's my kryptonite.

Pack One (The Cal Ripken Pack):

- Albert Pujols !!! (First card I see, yet I already had it =/)
- Troy Tulowitzki Rookie Elements 488/550 (sweet!)
- David Wright



Pack Two (The Derek Jeter Pack):

- Lance Berkman
- Rafael Furcal
- Mark Teahen



Pack Three (The Ken Griffey, Jr. Pack):

- Johan Santana



- Lance Berkman Rare Elements Authentic Dual Patches 26/35 (black & 4 color)



More than happy with my free packs, hopefully the stuff I am getting for Christmas has some cool things to post.

I really had fun with these 3 packs, and I think they are pretty cool. They are even cooler than normal because they were free!

Mail Day!

OK, first off let me start by saying I haven't been to my P.O. Box in days, so if you sent me anything, I will know what I got tomorrow when I get over there. This mail day was to my house, and I can't have any of it. Boo. My dad wanted to pick out some cards for me for Christmas but I told him to let me do it instead so he doesn't buy Topps Updates and Highlights. Since it was for Christmas, you will all have to wait to see what it is when I open it Christmas morning. I shall take a picture of the cardboard debacle after present time.

What I did want to make mention of is that I purchased them from Dave & Adams Card World, and they sent not only my 3 free packs of 07 UD Elements for spending over $100, but a $10 off coupon for January, as well as a scratch off to win more $ off, and I got $5 off on that. Oh, let me not forget they also have free shipping.

When people want to know what makes a hobby business or card shop thrive, it is things like that. They take the time, despite most people probably not being able to spend more money in January, or the rest of us who don't even need an incentive to pick up an extra hobby box a little discount. Kudos to DAC.com, and they get a shameless plug for the great service and coupons.

Does anyone else know they are getting cards for Christmas? I am so excited. I have to work the day after so I may do a box break Christmas night, and/or Saturday.

I'm debating on breaking the 3 free packs tonight, but I don't want to ruin the gift if someone noticed they were taped to one of the gifts... Who wants to see what's inside?
