Nice little series I wasn't too familiar with... pretty packed with inserts for opening one little pack - half of it! Nice Eddie Murray card for the collection.

Another autograph! I have gotten the best hits from these packs of Elite Extra Edition... but it figures they are the most expensive. Not that I got anything super cool but I'm loving anything special to add to the collection for sure. I'm a sucker for any of that stuff I can't help it. Got a few autographs here so hope I'll hit some more and find some GU too!

Not much for me here.. doesn't hurt to add another red parallel or worthless expired code card to the collection - the more, the merrier. Knew I wasn't going to find much here since I have the base set complete but not a total loss.

Not the most valuable pack... just barely justified the price of it! Still stoked about another serial numbered card even though it's worth is far from high atleast it's numbered a little low, well at this point 100 is still low for me. Gotta be happy I got something here since hits have been few and far inbetween but that's the hobby, you never know when you're gonna get it!

Thinking about getting a box of the new 2014 Donruss when it comes out.. I think it's tomorrow. No way I can hold out on opening that a pack a day haha but if or when I do get it, I'll post some of the cool stuff I get from it, assuming I get anything. Won't have values or anything yet due to how new it is but just hoping I'll be able to grab a nice hobby box but we'll see..

Pretty basic pack.. not feeling too good today so not much of a write-up. Still enjoyed it but just kinda getting it over with. Hope for something a lil more exciting when I'm feeling better tomorrow.

Nothing too great here but I have always been a fan of A & G cards - I love the design of them and I am a bit into TTM (autographs through the mail) and usually only use doubles I have to send out but may break that when it comes to A & G as I think they look wonderful with autographs. I am usually 100% baseball but sometimes series like this are cool to get out of the sport a little bit without really leaving.
