So, for today's pack break, I present ................
1 pack of 2007 Goudey baseball cards (retail version).
Now, I've heard a lot about this series but never actually had the chance to buy a pack. After having the chance to open a pack, I've got to say that I like the look of the cards; particularly the old style backgrounds and touched up photos. The set comprises 240 cards with Green/Red colour variations on the back. The pack has 8 cards in it.
Below is a picture of the cards I got:
* David Ortiz (Green Back) - 2007 was another one of Ortiz's big years (batting wise I mean) with the Red Sox's win in the WS. Definitely hasn't been able to recreate the same form recently.
* Justin Morneau (Red Back) - Probably one of my favourite non-Yankees/Rangers players. Too bad about his injury in the 09 season. Hopefully he'll be back in 2010.
* Torii Hunter (Green Back) - Interesting card since it was the last season that Hunter played with the Twins (after 10).
* Travis Hafner (Red Back) - Not really much can be said about Hafner. Started off with the Rangers but quickly went to the Indians. Am still trying to figure out what the background to the card is meant to be.
* Austin Kearns (Green Back) - Again, another one who not much can be said about due to injuries.
* Luis Gonzalez (Red Back) - Now recently retired, this card is interesting because it shows Gonzalez in the Dodgers uniform. He only played with them for 1 season.
* David Eckstein (Red Back).
* Jack Wilson (Green Back) - Wilson still hasn't recaptured the form he showed in 2004 with his batting although he is a good shortstop.
As you would have noticed, I didn't pull any inserts in the pack I bought and gather they can be a bit hard to come by. Was a bit disappointed that I didn't get any cards of Yankees or Rangers players, but am still reasonably happy with the players that I got (particularly Morneau).
