Leaving DPI With My Head Held High...and a 2007 Topps U & H Pack Break

Many of my now former co-workers have said their goodbyes, and in about 10 minutes, I will be doing the same.  But before I go, I want to rip open these last two packs of 2007 Topps Updates and Highlights.

As mentioned previously, I have had these 2007 Topps blister packs unopened since I bought them in 2009.  Basically, these cards have been sitting inside waiting to be opened for more than six years.  This won't take too long.

Pack 1:

• #UH75 Marcus Thames, Tigers
• #UH316 Brandon Watson, Nationals
• #UH304 D'Angelo Jimenez, Nationals
• #UH87 Jeff Karstens, Yankees
• #UH142 Jeremy Guthrie, Orioles
• #UH195 Marcus McBeth, Reds
• #UH130 Eric Gagne, Red Sox
• #UH206 Tom Glavine, Mets, Season Highlights
• #UH165 Dallas Braden, Athletics
• #UH160 Hunter Pence, Astros
• #UH262 Aaron Rowand, Phillies, NL All-Star
• #UH249 Billy Wagner, Mets, NL All-Star

Pack 2: 

• #UH214 Alex Rodriguez, Yankees, Season Highlights
• #UH208 Mark Buehrle, White Sox, Season Highlights
• #UH95 Dmitri Young, Nationals
• #UH306 Paul Bako, Orioles
• #UH114 Pete Orr, Braves
• #UH131 Marlon Byrd, Rangers
• #UH125 Joe Kennedy, Diamondbacks
• #GN182 Curtis Granderson Generation Now 14 of 31 Doubles
• #UH121 Justin Duchscherer, Athletics
• #UH277 Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies/Jose Reyes, Mets Classic Combos
• #UH248 Roy Oswalt, Astros, NL All-Star
• #UH268 Carlos Guillen, Tigers, AL All-Star

Two better-than-average packs of 2007 Topps U & H.  Highlights include getting felllow card collector Dmitri "da Meat Hook" Young, a bunch of All-Star cards, the Gen Now of Granderson, and...that's pretty much it.

I have to go.  I'm glad many people have left, if only because I don't want them to see me crying my eyes out.  I have my radio, I have my drinking cup, my Dilbert calendar (everything else I packed and took home a while ago), so I should be set.

I leave DPI Specialty Foods with my head held high.  I know that these last fourteen years, through good times and bad, were very good to me.  I am now off to start a new adventure.  I guess I will go wherever the winds take me. 

Goodbye DPI.  Goodbye to all I called my co-workers and friends.  I wish you well, wherever you go. 

And now, for the first time in more than 18 years (because I've always had a job to go to before leaving the previous ones), I am off. 

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama
