I didn't know if this has been done already but I got the urge to do one, so here it is. If you want any of the inserts let me know. I just thought it would be interesting to see how many base cards you actually get, or how many when they where young, or the cards your mom threw out. As for rather this is the norm, I'd need another blaster or two to compare.
P.S If I spelled any names wrong let me know, the letters start running together after a while.

Throwbacks? More like "throw them back."
I bought a blaster of Topps 2010 today. There was only one of them and it had been stuffed between two other blasters of another product. Didn’t even see it at first and now I wished I hadn’t.
I failed to see the small print on the blaster until after I had purchased it... the one that said “2 packs of exclusive throwback parallel cards!”
I opened a pack that looked thicker than the others and at first I thought there something wrong with the cards, or the backs of them anyhow. Instead of the slick and shinny back that I was expecting, I was greeted with a gray card stock back. Turns out, they are the “throw back parallel cards.”
It was bad enough when wal-mart did the stupid back bordered cards last year. It was even worse that I had no clue and thought that the whole set was supposed to be that way, until buying a loose pack. It annoyed me enough that I didn’t want to buy any more cards as I had wasted my money in buying so many blasters to go toward completing the set.
My question for Topps is why? I really don’t understand the need for the cards. You have enough gimmick cards already. Maybe, just MAYBE if they where only one card per pack, or one card every other pack I could understand.
Why two packs in every box though? The whole blaster full made more sense than this. That means two less pack and 16 less cards that I will not have to build my set.

That Brave hating cat is at it again!
If you had read a few post back you know my cat is met lover that haaaaaaaaaaates Larry Wayne.
It is worse than I first feared however.
First the back story.
The Braves are doing a caravan through the south east where various Braves visit different locations and sigh autographs for the fans. I plan on going Sunday to the one in Evans which include
Freddie Freeman
Jordan Schafer
Jim Powell
Zane Smith
Last night I managed to find two cards of Schafer and Smith that I planned on getting autographed. I had put them on my bed in an effort to get a picture of them so I could upload them to my blog, but none of the pictures turned out right and I soon grew frusterated and ended up abounding the project.
I then grew distracted with something else which could have been the President or the internet or.. something.
THAT WAS WHEN SHE STRUCK! She plopped her fat self right on top of the cards and in the process bent poor scahfer right down the middle. A thing of beauty more.
Only an accident you say? That is what she wants you to think!
The devious Met fan has struck yet again.
TL. DR I need to use my card table as none of this would have happened in the first place.

Ebaying and my super special card space!
I now have a space in my room dedicated to opening and sorting through cards. Usually I did it on the bed. No, scratch that.... usually I was so impatient I would open the cards in the car. I wnat to be more organized though and not have cards in fifteen different places. I have a lot of loose cards in a bin I need to sort through currently.
Anyone else have a space dedicated to opening/sorting cards?
Ordered a hobby box off of Ebay today. Free shipping. I hope by free they don't mean placed in a big box with no padding where it is jostled around like a... hobby box in a big box. Guess I don't have a right to complain however.
I'm also bidding on a Chipper shirt for 99 cents
.0.99 CENTS!
I'm always so paranoid about Ebay though. There has never been an issue thus far, but I am a glass half empty type person and tend to fear the worst. I always check the seller's status... which is what I figure most people do.

The very special Chipper duck
He's gotta ball
He's gotta bat
and beak and but just like a duck
He doesn't quack, but he'll squeak
when you press his middle down!

First ever video pack rip!
So I bought two packs of Topps 2010 at Target today. I have to say, I do like the base set.
I also attempted to do a live video pack rip.
Here are my results. . The cards where not as clear in the video as I would have liked, my fault. Bad lighting.
Pack 1!
Pack 2!

A daunting task lies ahead
I want to "TRY" get a card of every single Brave player that has had a baseball card made. I don't know how many men have played for the Braves all together or which ones of them have a card. I do know the list will be huge and the task will be near impossible to complete.
That isn't going to stop me from trying however.
I only want cards of the players in an Atlanta Brave uniform however. I don't want a card of a former Brave in a another uniform or even those in the minor league . I am not looking for rare/fancy cards, just a CARD of the player.
I also don't know rather to cap the year at 2010 as evrey year that progresses there will be more and more players. It will never end.
Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of every player to have played for the Braves?
