Not all that eventful, but nearly the whole pack went into the collection so I can't call it a loss. Couple inserts didn't hurt either but jeez am I having a hard time getting any hits other than the Panini Elite Extra Edition - maybe it's what I'm buying... I bought a few of those Excell or Fairfield Company reboxes of packs that they sell at Target - $20 for 20 packs. Maybe somehow they know that these cards do not have hits or something because other than a few serial numbered cards I don't think I've ever gotten an auto or game used out of any of those packs before.

Whelp, there goes my last pack of these. I was hoping to go out with a bang but considering the fact I think every other pack had a hit, I guess I can't be too disappointed. Tempted to pick up another blaster of these but they're so darn expensive.

Didn't expect to add so many to my 89 Donruss collection since I had a bunch so I'd say I did pretty good... still can't believe I didn't have that Donruss Griffey RC, I knew I had it from the Score, UD, & Topps series - just assumed I had the Donruss series one too... guess not so that's a good pull.
