Logo overkill

Do you have those times when you are looking through boxes of cards, either for yourself or for someone else? You are looking through and you are focused on looking for a particular team or player, and as you are flipping cards something catches your eye? I was doing that looking for some cards to send out and for myself at the same time. A random 1991 Upper Deck just jumped out at me and I had to take it all in. I present card #594 of Scott Lewis of the California Angels:

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with what I saw. I love the fact that in the early 90's players still went with stirrups and sanitaries. What struck me as funny is that Scott has the Halo A on his hat, sleeve patch, and his stirrups. If you include UD'S use of it in the logo at the corner of the card, that's four big A's on the front of one card.

I still love the simplicity of this Halos logo more than the current one, but it's what I grew up on. I'm finding out that 91 UD is growing on me like some of my favorites like 80 Topps, 82 Fleer, and 83 Donruss. I really think the design of the fronts on the 91 is simple, but effective and easy on the eyes to like.

Free box break recap

Well, I hope everyone had some fun with seeing what goodness of free cards I won from Topps. I really had fun opening packs, sorting them out, and making posts for you to see. I sat down and looked everything over and here are the stats of how the box came out.

As everyone may or may not know, there are 36 packs of 10 cards each in a hobby box. That means 360 cards with the hopes of making the 330 card base set. I opened all 36 packs to these results:

Base Cards: 299/330 (90.6% complete) only needed 31 cards...

No duplicates of base cards!!

Emerald Parallels: 6 cards

Gold Parallels: 4 Cards

Black Parallels: 1 cards

Cut to the chase die-cuts: 3 Cards

Chasing history: 9 Cards

Calling Cards: 3 Cards

1972 minis: 9 Cards

Chasing the Dream: 6 Cards

The Greats: 2 cards

Million Dollar Chase: 5 cards

Relic Cards: 1 card

If you count it up, that is 49 cards of inserts and other nonsense. I guess the good news is I was able to make my Mariners for 2013 so far out of the box. My son decided that he wanted the Giants since no one else jumped on them. The only card not in the box was #260 of the NLDS Game 5. If anyone that is sending me cards for the cards out of this box has this one could you throw it in for the boy? I want everyone that has claimed cards, I will try to start getting everything together today. If I don't make it in time to mail them, I will try this week depending on work, if not it might be next Saturday before they go out. Thanks for hanging out with me on the box and let's get Spring Training going....Baseball is back!!!

Not a bad run of six packs for me. Three more Mariners in the binder to keep for the Super Set. I will return for another run of six packs for you.

Winnings from Topps for 2013

As you may remember, I was lucky enough to have randomly won a hobby box of 2013 Series 1 from Twitter. I don't really do much in the way of the three sets of base cards that Topps puts out any more. I do want to make sure I get the Mariners I need every year, but other than that I've found I don't want or need all the extra cards laying around from open pack after pack. I know that everyone gets tired of reading through long posts about box breaks, so I'm going to break it up into 6 packs segments. I think I'll show you the card I like most from each pack. There are a few that I'm going to hold for certain bloggers but I will make sure they are clearly marked as I show them. Let's see what this bad boy holds:

Pack 1:

Not too bad of a start to the box if you ask me. I will try to keep this box break going so you can see if there is anything good coming you might want to claim. I will be happy to send cards to people after I show them all. Please comment and lay claim to what you want. My only request is if you want something, could you help with my Mariner or Angel want lists, or hit me with Willie Stargell or Dale Murphy cards!
