Pack Attack Package

I don't often make orders for cards for myself for the unopened pack collection, but I was poking around www.pastimesports.ca and with the older packs they sell, and the fact that free shipping is at $200, and as I haven't really spent outside of Magic cards, on the hobby the last number of months....and....Christmas, well, here we are.

The hockey packs I picked up...

With products coming in different packages each year, and with different series, I do have some packs from say more recent years, but with jumbo or retail or hobby, and each being slightly different, there always seems to be something more to find and pick up.

I would have thought I'd have a pack of 1991-92 Parkhurst series 2, but only had the series 1 pack....but no longer!

The 1995-96 Score pack looks so 90s....

With O Pee Chee sets being roughly 500-700 cards, you would think the pack would at least be jumbo sized. When more "premium" packs consist of 5 cards, and these only have 8, I just think of the work it would take to build an O Pee Chee set from packs alone - you'd go broke.

The 2003-04 Parkhurst Original 6 sets were unique, and so nice to pick up these unusual packs 20+ years after the fact.

A nice run of what I consider to be more expensive packs with SP. I never buy these in normal course as I shy away from packs where the cost is anything near a dollar a card for what you get.

For the baseball packs...

I am sure I overpaid on the 1981 Donruss, but my excuse it, that got me to the free shipping. Not like you see them floating around for cheap anyway. The Ted Williams pack was an interesting one to see, and of course then filling some Topps set holes to add to the collection.

I didn't get the chance to pick up the flagship Topps boxes which were out, so picked up the exclusive pack here as a cool pack to add.

I had to pick up something wrestling related, and the price was fine enough for these. I have 41 of 100 base cards, these three boxes and a blaster so I am hoping this se twill be done when I get around to opening up these.

I'm not one for buying complete sets, but the price was fine for these. I wouldn't pick up the Lindros set otherwise, but a nice little set. As for the Mandalorian set - a decent price, now the question is to open it or not...

That all said, there were a few extras in the pick up too...

I redeemed my "points" on this purchase to get the hangar box. I am trying to finish that Update set, so might come in handy.

They threw in a little bag of candy which didn't last long, and the couple National Hockey Card Day packs - of which I needed the 2025 version, so we get to end with another unopened pack pick up.

All in now, I have945 unopened packs - 284 baseball, 251 Magic, 363 hockey, and 47 wrestling. Not sure how long it will take to hit 1,000. It's not something I am specifically aiming for, but will probably happen in the next year or so...
