Boxes 7,8 and 9,10 of my HTA box - good hits

So, this weekend I busted my remaining four packs of my HTA box of Topps Series 1.  Did I lose my nerve?  No.

I read that the time to send in the wrappers for the wrapper redemption were most likely almost out.  So I took a chance.  I'm really not expecting to get a pack for my wrappers.  I've never done a wrapper redemption before - I had no idea how rabid people would be to get their wrappers in.

So I busted my final four packs to get my last ditch effort of receiving an extra pack.

Either way, here's what I got in my last four packs.  Some pretty good stuff actually.

Notable inserts were a Josh Hamilton die-cut, Warren Spahn Chasing History and Willie McCovey Chasing History.

But we've all seen the inserts, I'll just get right to the hits.  Here's how the first pack started out:

I was kind of excited how fat this thing was.  I was really hoping that it would be a Koufax.

But when I finally got to it, I was still pretty impressed with the card - even if the subject isn't pulling a ton on the secondary market.

It's seriously the thickest card I've ever pulled though.  It's not heavy like the coin cards, but it's thick.

I pulled a 2003 Cy Young commemorative card of Roy Halladay.  Not bad.  But at least I can say that I pack pulled one of the "thick cards" that twitter was blowing up over.

And for my auto in the box - the auto that made me think this box would've really been better off for a Braves fan - I pulled this beauty.

For a sticker auto product, it's still a pretty great looking card.  And the auto is from an era where people still gave a damn about their signatures.

So that's it.  I'll see if I can snag an extra pack - but I was very impressed with this product and with my box in general.
