2011 Topps Chrome Rack Pack Breaks

Yesterday I took a trip to Target for no reason other than to see if they had chrome and return the bag full of empty water bottles in my trunk. I figured if they have 2011 Chrome, I can use some of the return money to buy some packs and if not I'll buy coffee. Either way I was going to win.

As luck would have it they had cards. They only had rack packs though, no blasters and no loose packs. I wouldn't have bought loose packs anyway when you can get the rack pack and get 3 orange cards. I took the 10 or so rack packs off the rack, and picked two that I wanted and checked out. I didn't feel like taking the first two for whatever reason, and it worked out to my advantage.

Here are the cards from rack pack #1:

2009 UD Rookie Edition Rack Packs

I am a little behind posting some of my findings from K-Mart, but a while back I mentioned that I picked up some 2009 Upper Deck Rookie Edition rack packs. The only reason I got them was because I was curious what the rookie cards looked like, and figured this way would be more fun than looking online for them. Sadly, had I posted this when I bought them I'm sure there probably wouldn't have been as many photo's online but here is what I got from them.

I picked up 2 of these, and aside from the promised 2 Rookie Debut cards per pack I got air. They are pretty cool looking, but if you are seeking a specific player don't bother buying one of these because the rest of both of them were just plain old boring base cards.

Travis Snider, Blue Jays
Chris Lambert, Tigers
Freddy Sandoval, Angels
Matt Antonelli, Padres

Out of the four cards, my favorite two are Snider and Antonelli. I'm not going to start collecting either of them, but those were the ones I liked.

The K-Mart that is closest to me just started getting more 2009 products in as I mentioned, and I am hoping that they have a little more variety in the upcoming weeks and specifically when the OPC is released. It seems as though where I live there are a bunch of people who collect cards because if you don't hit the local Targets at the right time, they are consistently out of new release products. It is probably better that way since I really shouldn't be buying anything anyway. If anyone needs any of these 4 cards, let me know we can work out a trade though I must warn you my post office time is becoming limited to what seems to be Friday and Saturday with the occastional weekday trip.
