...2009/10 ITG Between The Pipes that is.
I have been in awe over the product since it's release a couple weeks ago. The quality of card design, the selection, variety and "hits" have made this one of the most anticipated sets I've probably ever seen.
I went to the local card store today with the hopes that they still had a box left. Once the current batch runs out, I'm betting the price per box will go up a bit (as supply and demand dictates).
Luckily, there were a couple boxes left. I bought one and opened it up in the store. I was really impressed with the break. So much so, I bought the second box (having never done that before). Let's just say the second box was better than the first.
It's a good thing they didn't have more....I probably would have bit.
That said, I did splurge on a box of 08/09 Upper Deck Masterpieces (another release that has really impressed me of late). To say the best was saved for last would be an understatement. I pulled some amazing cards and am looking forward to sharing them over the next week.
Stay tuned.

What shop did you go to?
ReplyDeleteI went to New World Books & Comics at the Heritage Flea Market (Heritage & Blackfoot in the SE).
ReplyDeleteIt's the closet shop to me (and I've always enjoyed their info on the hobby).
cool. never been there, i'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteIt's a smaller store, not too much in terms of singles. I've gone in basically for boxes, supplies and just for the fact that it's a card store that is close by to my place.
ReplyDeleteI like just going in and chatting it up for a while.
