As usual, I wandered through the toy department. I always feel a little bit like a creepy guy as I stroll through there without a kid in tow. The collectible cards are at the end of a long aisle, almost to the side wall. That means I either have to go down the aisle of pink Barbie girly stuff or the aisle of Fisher Price toddler stuff. Either way, I always think that someone is looking at me weird. I could veer across from the door, and up along the wall, but that is out-of-the-way. I take a direct rout to my crack.
Here is what I found today. Blister packs with gigantic orange labels that say, "LOOK FOR A CARD OF STEPHEN STRASBURG". What the...? These don't look at all like 2010 bowman. They are 2008 SP. Hmmm.
Ha! I've seen that on Timelines, which makes sence, but I'm pretty sure he has no card in 2008 SP lol. Although.. I might have to get some of those at $1.99 each..
ReplyDeleteI saw those when I was there the other day, too. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how there could be a Strasburg in an '08 product.
ReplyDeleteMy store's crack is at the end of the games/puzzles/legos aisle so it's less embarrassing. It is interesting that you have three full peg hooks of product there. I don't think there are three pegs total with product in my closest Meijer (and it isn't because I bought everything, either).
Pfffha! Funny.
ReplyDeleteI was poking around eBay. There seems to be an 08 SP Manufactured Patch USA Baseball card available.
I saw some of those stickers at Walmart, on 09 UD X, crazy.
ReplyDeleteThey are also on UDX, Upper Deck and Icons from 2009 in Wal Marts here. I think certain distributors are trying to pull some fast ones.
ReplyDeleteHmmm why are they called blister packs? I never understood the name. I always thought they had a different arrangement of the amount of cards and the odds of pulling something good. But these just lookmlike regular packs in more complicated packaging.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteYea the only 08 Products he's in at 08 UD as a team USA card and Timelines with a base, auto, patch, and jersey.
