The First Two Packs of 2009 Topps Series 2 Yielded...

So I snuck a couple of packs with me today so I can give you a quick pack break during the day. I will get more in this evening. But in the meantime, here are the first two packs:

Pack #1


Mike Fontenot #449
Dave Trembley #407
Victor Martinez #370
Classic Combos Guillen/Cabrera #434
Jackie Robinson Career Best Legends #LGCB-JR (new insert)
Walter Johnson Legends of the Game Target #LLG18 (so I guess the next round of Legends of the Game fills out the timeline)
Carlos Beltran Toppstown Blue #TTT47
Mike Scioscia #461
A. J. Burnett #630
Freddy Sanchez #447
Chris Iannetta #646
Johnny Damon #590


Pack #2


Jim Leyland #339
Gregor Blanco #352
Gavin Floyd #443
Don Wakamatsu #576
John Danks #548
Matt Garza #545
Albert Pujols Legends of the Game #LG-AP (so I guess the current "Legends" get seperate billing, as well as an exclusive Timeline)
Carlos Zambrano Toppstown Blue #TTT39
Jesse Chavez #409
Yovani Gallardo #502
B. J. Ryan #421
Chris Young (D-Backs) #335


Initial reaction? So far so good. The Jackie Robinson card looks really nice based on the sepia-colored background.Though I think I understand the reasons for it, other than to distinguish the cards from series 1, I don't think the ToppsTown base cards should have been blue. That's just me though.

That's all for now. Look forward to more later on this evening.

Sincerely,

I love comments. Please leave comments!!! (Ego, hush). Just keep your words clean (I show my kids this stuff), and the comment will be accepted.

If you must leave a comment anonymously, that's fine too. Although I wish you wouldn't. I'd like to get to know the people who actually read this humble little blog.

Thank you very much.
