Well that sure was the wrong pack to open... forgot I had the whole set already, but atleast I got to add an error card to it as I previously only had the corrected version. Try to get some better stuff opened these next couple days, plus there's a big Tristar Productions show coming up on Saturday so I might be able to grab some nice packs there if I can resist the temptation of buying singles, sets, autos, GU, and serial numbered haha try to pick up atleast a few packs if not a box or two this time around.

Just got this pack to try and incorporate something different... not quite an oddball series but close enough. I don't really like the design of these cards, too many brights or something... doesn't look too bad in the pics but with cards in hand, it's like nothing stands out - everything blends in.

Not such an amazing start but definitely a fun pack to open. With some of the packs I've gotten recently I am sure that the streak will be broken really soon, it has to happen. Don't want to open the same packs everyday for a week so it might take a little bit to get there but I know one of these upcoming packs is going to beat out that $12 auto from Elite Extra Edition... shouldn't be too hard to beat.
