Well I'm sure most will be like ya so, but for me the rebuilding of my collections means I buy what I can when I can. So I had some extra cash and needed to get out of the house anyway. So packed up the wife and went to the local baseball card shop for a quick stop. Piked up 12 hobby wax packs at the local shop, would have liked two jumbos but he was out. Figured I would open them once I got back home so next stop. Toys R us, I had been there about 6 weeks ago and they had some 2011 baseball cards so figured it was wroth a shot. Well walked up to the rack and what do we have on the rack but a Sale sign.. Score. Buy one and get one 50% off, very nice pick up some cards and get more for my money can't beat that. So I grab the only 2011 blaster I can see reduced down to 12.99 ok that works for me. Then grab a hanger pack from 2011 update. Ok now what else well they have rack packs so I grab 4 of them. When i grab them I was thinking they were 2011 series 2 and at 4.99 a rack pack I figure how can I go wrong. So I check out and not only do I get 50% off on three items there are two sales going at the same time. Any MLB item gets 20% off as well so that's 70% off on three of the items. So walked out of the store with one 2011 Blaster box, 1 2011 Hanger pack, and 4 Rack packs which as I find out at home are 2010 Series 2. Grand total less than 30 bucks so not a bad deal at all. Now I get home and the fun of opening everything starts.

Well overall some great additions plus since I had almost none of the 2011 and 2010 it worked out great. Here are some of what I picked up:
2013:
Chasing History: Harmon Killebrew Relic
72 mini: Anthoney Rizzo, Alex Rodriguez
Calling Card: Albert Pujols
2011:
60 Years of Topps: Buster Posey, Harmon Killebrew
Gold: Paul Goldschmidt
Kimball: Greg Maddux, Frank Robinson
Commemorative Patch: Robinson Gano
RC: Mike Trout
2010 was kind of a bust as I did not really pull anything in the way of inserts and no big rookie pulls. But still with me having none going into the day I will take what I got for $12 bucks.

Considering what you paid, you really scored! I've broken a good amount of 2011 retail and that Trout rookie is no easy pull! Nice hit on the Killebrew too!My Bucket: http://s1284.beta.photobucket.com/us...ghost/library/
I collect: TRAE ARBET, Austin Meadows, Gregory Polanco
