Four of five months ago at trade night for one of my local shops, they had some "Trade Night Specials."
I purchased a couple of boxes... one of which is this one. 2008 Upper Deck Timelines. They call it Timelines because it will take a person eons to complete it.
Let's see what $25 gets me. I've already busted a box of this...okay, maybe two, in a futile effort at completing the set.
2 autos per box..... but only 18 packs per box. And according to the wrapper, 8 cards per pack, 6 of which are short prints.
What??? 144 cards in a box and 108 of them are short prints??? My head hurts. Let's just look at the pictures from Pack One...
Ichiro Suzuki
Tim Lincecum pre-hair
Greg Smith (I have no idea who plays for the A's anymore.... not since Lansford, Weiss, Henderson, Henderson, etc...
David Murphy... I pulled the auto version of this in one of my other boxes
Joey Votto reminding me to clean my scanner AGAIN....
Matt Holliday
Jay Bruce - Reds Hot Pack!
and finally Troy Tulowitzki
No idea which 6 of those are SP's... but even though I still need a 160 cards of a 385 card set, I only got two new cards. Something tells me no one will ever finish this set... least of all me.

I'm told someone finished the set. I don't remember who, so maybe it was a dream.
I just know I gave up. Like the set. But it's too high-maintenance.
Wow that's would be great pack for me. The Tulo and the Holliday are 2 of the 3 I need for my team set.
Are they dupes for you or do you need them?
I thought for about 30 seconds of starting this set, but then came to my senses.
i'm still trying, but it's on the back burner for me.
here's what i still need in case you have some to trade...

I have actually completed the set, it was a long and painful process but it is done. After you crack that box drop me a note. Maybe I have some dups I can send your way.
I am still working on the set (I'm almost done with it)! Here's what I need: #235, 276, 279, 288, 300, 302, 308, 332, 336, 341, 345, 356, 361, 363, 366, 373, 374, 375
