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.
