Archives Rack Pack

As I sit and watch the Phillies vs. Twins game, I thought I'd show you guys the results of an Archives rack pack I picked up today at Wal-Mart.

I like the look and feel of this set, and I absolutely loved the packaging, black with bright colors.  Topps does a great job of bringing us back to the past with these cards.
18 cards per rack pack.  The first bunch yielded a nice Chris Davis and a timeless Ken Griffey Jr...not to mention a Harmon Kilebrew. Also, Asdrubal Cabrera has braces?  Interesting.
The Gregg Jefferies throwback card is quite familiar, as I think I have fifty of them in my commons box.  I pulled a Bryce Harper, which is a rarity for me. I hardly ever pull any Harpers, which at one point might have been preferable.  I have changed my tune on him a bit these days, having watched him play several times. I think he is more humble than he appeared to be when he was younger.

This set is a candidate for a hobby box at the National.  Heck, every new set is in the running for a hobby box!
