2006 Upper Deck Update

Greetings!

I did not want to interrupt the flurry of posts these last couple of weeks, so I have been laying low.  And after my run of non-sports packs, it's about time to get back to the old Target discount bin.  Here's a pack of 2006 Upper Deck Update!

As madding alluded to in his Series 2 post, this Update set pushes the set to 1250 cards!  1250 cards (insert Don West voice here)!!!!!  Let's see what we got:

#1022 - Jim Johnson (RC)
#1197 - Matt Stairs
#1160 - Rajai Davis (RC)

Rookie cards a-plenty here in this set, including cards for Dustrin Pedroia, Carlos Marmol, Adam Jones, Stephen Drew, and Chad Billingsley.  For some reason, the Pat Neshek rookie card is pretty valuable, at least to those who follow Beckett.

#1134 - Melky Cabrera (RC)
#1094 - Jeff Mathis (RC)
#1070 - Bob Wickman (back)

#SA-JH - Star Attractions:  Jeremy Hermida
#1239 - Derek Jeter (Checklist)

The Jeter's a short print (anyone know why?), so it's a pretty high-priced card in the Beckett.  Close enough to a hit for me!

Anyway, that's the pack.  Thanks for reading!

2009 Topps Allen & Ginter

Ah the multi-pack box; I've actually pulled one or two good ones from these and they make an affordable mix to pick from.















2009 Allen & Ginter



















Geovany Soto - National Pride subset



Victor Lustig - World's Biggest Hoaxes and Hoodwinks mini. According to the back of this card, Victor sold the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal.



Pat Burrell



Josh Outman Rookie



Chipper Jones - I always seem to get a Chipper Jones, man this guy has been playing for quite a while.

2011 Topps Lineage Rack Pack

1996 Skybox Hunchback of Notre Dame

I actually thought I had posted a pack of these before, but can't seem to find the post. Welp, that's a good sign to post this pack of movie tie-ins.  The difference here: ACTIVITIES!


In this first group, there are two cards on which kiddos can color!  This is only, what, about 15 years BEFORE Topps started doing Sketch cards?

If coloring isn't your thing, how about card-stacking?  Yeap, collect all the cards and build your own tower!

Building not your thing, either?  Well, then, how about a puppet show or some coinage?  Yeap, we have coins you can punch out or we have finger puppets you can play with.  Awesome old school interactivity!

1995 Fleer Batman Forever

I remember Fleer.  Do you?  The good ol' days, eh...

How about a couple of Jim Carrey shots, showing a varied range of emotions:

He went to the Danger Zone....

1992 Upper Deck Comic Bowl IV

Upper Deck did a series of baseball cards with Looney Tunes characters, so why not parallel that with football?  Here, I busted open a couple packs of the ComicBowl IV packs:

1992 Food Lion Richard Petty 3-Card Pack

1992 Skybox Star Trek Season Five Episodes

For as big of a computer nerd as I am, I never got into the whole Star Trek thing. So, other than seeing some actors I recognize, I don't know anything about anything going on here.  Oh, and the Sela card  (er, the 2nd Sela card) is embossed. That's actually kinda cool.
