Highlights:
The Bill Russell insert card from 2007-08 Topps is a nice card, even if I am not a basketball collector. It also goes for a couple bucks so hopefully I can turn it into something I do collect. Even from just the first few posts, I think the $70 investment will work out just fine on value as there have been a couple cards that value wise go for a couple bucks.
The Iginla makes me wonder if I will come close to completing the McDonald's 2007-08 set since it is only 50 cards..
And I do enjoy the Heritage cards, and I think this is only my second from I believe 2007, so I have no problem getting more of these.
That all said, no Leafs or Jays...boo...
Lowlights:
I have a complete set of the 1990-1991 O Pee Chee Red Army cards. The downside to this is, because they were hand collected, and O Pee Chee decided the best place for these cards was right beside the gum...and because I was opening these packages about 20 years after they had been wrapped - the condition of all the cards is horrible. As I have the complete set, I keep them, but secretly hope to be able to improve the quality of the cards included. That being said, I pulled one such card here...good front, and typical back...
That said, this is about par with the one I have so I am not keeping it...*sigh*....
The Rest
Keepers:
Really like the 1983 Hall of Fame Postcards - very unique.
Traders:
As I don't collect minor league sets - you'll see all 7th Inning cards as traders. The Football Reflectors set card looks great in person, the reflector aspect seems not so great from my scanner - oh well.
