Pack Rips: $9.99 Target Value Pack

I went to Target for other things and of course wound up buying a ten pack of cards. It was the Goodwin Champions pack showing on the front that reeled me in. I've had some success in the past with these value pack things, so I figured what the heck.


Normally there are four packs showing and these are the best packs in the box.  Well, this time I was pleasantly surprised that there was not one, but two packs of Goodwin Champions. Score.

Here are the contents of the value pack:

2007 Topps Opening Day
2007 Topps Series 1
2007 Topps Series 2 (3)
2009 Upper Deck Icons
2009 Upper Deck SP
2009 Goodwin Champions (2)
2009 Allen & Ginter

And the per pack pulls (worth mentioning):

2007 Topps Opening Day
A four year old stick of gum, Chase Utley, Ichiro

2007 Topps Series 1
Greg Maddux, J.D. Drew

2007 Topps Series 2 (3)

2009 Upper Deck SP Authentic

2009 Goodwin Champions (2)
Kevin Garnett Mini, Brandon Webb Mini, Yogi Berra, Nyger Morgan (SP), David Wright, Mark Teixeira
I knocked off 5 cards from my set chase. Not bad.

2009 Allen & Ginter
A nice haul here: Grady Sizemore National Pride (NP31), John Smoltz (in a Boston uni), Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr. Highlights (AGHS2), Jeff Suppan Mini Black Border SP

So I pulled  a bunch of inserts and added to my Goodwin Champions chase. Nevermind that the set is huge and it will take years to complete. One card at a time, right?
