209 Steve Holm RC '95
292 Justin Ruggiano RC '04
Man, am I on a Randy Johnson run. I got three of the big galoot in two packs. I'm also pulling Rays like crazy. How many Longorias in this box so far? This one's a short print too... At least I got a Brave. That I already had. That isn't actually a Brave any more. I couldn't decide which card to post other than the unscannable Longoria, so I went with the Janish to taunt all the Reds fans out there who are jealous of this box break.Pack 12:
17 Ken Griffey Jr.76 Greg Smith RC
107 Corey Hart '92
358 Clayton Kershaw RC '94 SP
171 JR Towles RC '94 Gold parallel
160 Matt Holliday '94
200 Micah Hoffpauir RC '95
306 Russell Martin '04
BARF. I hate J.R. Towles. I've gotten a ton of his cards in every single set this year including THREE '95 short prints from Timelines. Now I get another stupid foil parallel. I've also gotten multiple doubles of Hart and Hoffpower er Hoffpure um Micah. The rest of the pack kicks ass though, five more for the set including Griffey and short printed Kershaw. Reds and Dodgers and Rays are all over this box aren't they? Where are the Braves?!?Pack 13:
1 Jose Reyes 67 Justin Masterson RC
101 Bobby Wilson RC '92
YSL4772 Ron Guidry
382 Bobby Wilson RC '95 SP
142 Albert Pujols '94
210 Travis Hafner '95
216 John Smoltz '04
Lucky 13. I've gotten three straight packs with a base cards I needed, that's pretty lucky. I'm getting reaaaaly close to a complete base set now. I finally got a Brave in Smoltzie. OH WAIT. Hold on, what does that say on the back? The veteran lefty? Shoot, the Red Sox can have him if his shoulder is so bad that he has to pitch with his other arm. The '95 SP cards look really nice although I don't know who Bobby Wilson is (or why I got two of him). I'll take the Yankee cards as long as they have an short print like that along for the ride. Guidry looks really old in his photo however. Steinbrenner must've wore him out. The Reyes and the Pujols cards look mighty nice too.Pack 14:

JR TOWELS!!!!! DUPLICATE!!!!! SHORT PRINT!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGHHHH
I'm going on eBay, buying a "Who Shot JR" t-shirt, getting tickets for the Astros series at the Ted right behind home plate and I'm gonna just stare at him the whole damn series. JUST STARE AT HIM. GO AWAY AND TAKE YOUR CARDS WITH YOU. AAAAAHHHH
Oh hey! Look, an autograph. Of some USA Baseball guy. Looks like he plays for LSU. Well, we'll know if he's any good by 2015 I suppose. What's a future player doing in a retro product? Makes no sense. I got another base card I needed for the set, I need exactly one to complete it now. Two more Reds puts my total to 98 for the box.Well, the box, she is dead. But there are four more packs to go! There could be a surprise yet!

I got the EXACT same two autos in my first box break of Timeline. I hope my second box yields two different players... Oh, for the record, I don't think I've EVER seen a box yield that many Cincinnati Reds cards - at least not any box of cards packaged in the 2000s.
what did JR ever do to you? he's a nice guy...what do you want for your astro dupes
Lord, that's the same USA guy I pulled too. I never knew he had such seperation issues from Brandon Boggs.

Out of about 18 short prints I've pulled in this set, five or six of them have been Towles. I hate short print doubles. I've also been pulling his cards like crazy all year. I even got two of the same jersey cards of Towles. Argh. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I'll send you some new Towels.
Here I sit. Head in hands with tears streaming. "Why does a lousy Braves guy get all the Reds, Johnny Bench Baseball God on Earth? WHY!?
I bought a blaster today. Found a K-Mart. $7.50. 14 F'N CHICAGO NAT'L CARDS! NO REDS!
I KNOW WHERE YOU RESIDE!
J.R. Towles seems like a nice guy, but he and Brandon Backe got into some kind of feud with Albert Pujols this year..... Ask Brad Lidge. Not a good idea to get in a feud with El Hombre.
Twoles may be a saint, but he needs to stop eating up all my short prints with is doubles.
Where the hell are you finding $7.50 blasters?? Are these all KMarts going out of bidniss? All our Kmarts went bust a few years ago so I can't get clearance swag any more.
