At some point, as you can tell by the label, this pack was sold at an Osco drug store for $1.69. I wish my local drug store had cheap hobby packs.
The chase cards in this set are memorabilia cards, 1 in 18 packs.
We start with Barry Zito. He is currently having what may be a bounce-back year. Only time will tell if the former Cy Young winner can return to his brilliance.
Next up is Joe Randa, a career .284 hitter in 12 seasons.
Here we have Carlos Beltran, who is nearing 2000 hits and recently passed 300 dingers.
Ah, a cool Pedro Martinez insert.
Here is Ben Davis, who had an unremarkable career apart from a bunt during Curt Schilling's attempt at a perfect game, breaking an unwritten rule (which I don't personally agree with).
Jolbert Cabrera and Cezar Izturis are next. I dig this card design a lot. The non-glossy would be good for autographs except that they already have facsimile autographs on them.
One of my favorite current players, Adrian Beltre. He's a hard guy not to love.
Finally, Adam Eaton and Toby Hall.
A cool set (and a decent pack). I'd break some more (especially if I was getting them at Osco).
