What to buy?

Well, after much umming and ahhing I made a decision.

Elements and Ultra.

A&G I think is too expensive for what it is, and co-signers i didnt really like the look of much. Plus I have set a target now of trying to get all the Kouzmanoff co-signers cards, so that could be fun and interesting.

So, stay tuned for a couple of box breaks coming up soon....

MLB Box Break - 2007 Ultra

Broke a box of 2007 Ultra the other day. Nice cards. The photography is real nice, and the borderless design looks real fresh after staring at stacks of Topps 2007 cards. I think I like this design a lot better than the Topps one. I remember the Ultras I had in the early 90s looked good too. I think my biggest complaint with these is that it is pretty hard to read the players full name and details at the bottom of the card. But they do actually have the position shown on the front, which I like.

So we got 6 packs, 5 cards per pack.

They look good

I like that

And there are only 200 in the set, tempting to buy some more and try and complete it. This was a fun break cause the cards are so good to look at. But with only 5 cards a pack and 6 packs in this box it was over pretty quick!
