08 Ultimate Collection & 08 Bowman Sterling Pack Breaks

I decided to stop at the card shop this afternoon while I was on my way home and picked up a pack of 2008 Bowman Sterling baseball and a pack of 2008 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection baseball.  Here are the results:

2008 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection:

• Randy Johnson base #’ed/350 
• Chipper Jones base #’ed/350
• Vernon Wells base #’ed/350
• Jim Rice Triple Jersey on-card autograph #’ed 20/20

 

2008 Bowman Sterling:

• Masahide Kobayashi RC Refractor #’ed/199
• Jeff Locke autograph
• Tim Fedroff Black Refractor autograph #’ed/25
• Jake Arrieta autograph jersey
• Yunesky Sanchez Refractor #’ed/199

I knew that the Ultimate Collection was a real hit or miss product, but I wanted to give it a try and I think I did pretty well.  I know it could have been much worse.  I know someone who would really be interested in the Rice autograph (I’m talking to you John from A Pack A Day).  The best card from the Sterling pack would have to be the Fedroff Black Refractor autograph numbered to 25.  I enjoy watching prospects go up and down through the system, and it makes it even better when I have a good card of them.
