From what I've seen from my small sample size break, I like what I see so far. Last year's product wasn't terrible but this year's is really nice looking. All of the base cards are refractors so thats something I haven't seen before.
Heres some of the highlights of the break:
A bunch of base cards, most notably Aroldis Chapman, Jason Heyward, Tim Lincecum and Albert Pujols.
A few prospects: Manny Banuelos and Tyler Skaggs
3 Prospect x-Fractors (these look great!): Jonathan Singleton, Eduardo Escobar and Kyle Russell
6 Purple Prospects (I'm not crazy about the color of these): Brad Brach, Brad Holt, Matt Lipka, Dustin Ackley, Jared Mitchell and Ronnie Welty
I got one gold parallel: Aroldis Chapman
and I was lucky enough to pull an autograph card:
Hayden Simpson. According to Baseball Reference, he hasn't had a great first pro season but he still has plenty of time to turn it around.
I guess I did pretty well for just a few packs. I'll probably pick up another pack or two in the near future and see if I can get lucky again.
I'd be interested in trading for the Holt if it's up for grabs. Shoot me an email!

Hey! May you set aside the Kyle Russell X-Fractor for me? I'm sure we'll trade again in the future at some point.
ReplyDeleteIt seems a lot of people are having early success pulling hits from retail rack packs.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in the Heyward and Lipka cards. I didn't get any Orioles in the rack pack I opened, but I'll make sure to find something for you if you want to trade.
I'd love the Chapman and Simpson auto. I'll send you an e-mail. Thanks.
