You never know what you'll run across in the bargain bin at Target. All mine ever has is Hannah Montana and some kind of horse cards.

I bought a few of these five years ago. If I remember right, I think I got a Dickie Thon /5 Rookie Cup redemption card. I sent it in and got a cool card back with a neat metal logo Topps rookie cup integrated into the card.

The packs you opened make me cry, though. What's the point of a Chad Tracy reprint (ever), much less one from the same year base set?
