This package came completely out of nowhere and was a wonderful surprise. A handful of 2009 Topps Heritage, none of which I had, were the highlight for sure and there were a few 2009 Upper Deck cards as well, which I may need in the future (I'll let you know what I mean by that in a couple of days, before you start asking about what I could possibly be talking about).
First, we have the resurgent Justin Verlander and his chrome counterpart:
We also have the Tigers' early-season ace, Armando Galarraga
How good could these two guys be for this team, throw in Edwin Jackson, who has been stellar this year and that's a pretty solid 1-3. If Rick Porcello can pitch more like he did last night and less like he did last week, this team is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
Rookie unknown Chris Lambert is in there, as is the once-powerful Magglio Ordonez, but it is the last card that I really liked:
That's right, it's the whole squad, sitting on a card with a fundamentally different design than the rest of the set. Love it.
Thank you so much for the cards Greg! I'm sorry that I'm so late in posting this up, but I can tell you sincerely that this package made my week when I got it. You have put me way closer to finishing my Heritage Tigers set. As for the Upper Deck cards, those are going to help me out in a new collection of mine.
That's right, it looks like I'm going to be branching out in collecting again, as I have discovered a new, fun and cheap way to add to my collection. Details will follow in the next few days.
Also, new house=no internet, although I still have my apartment for the rest of the month. Just a heads up in case posts appear sporadically, at odd times or (gasp) not at all. I'll try to avoid that last one.
