Get To Your Local K-Mart Like Yesterday

Check out A Cardboard Problem for more details as to why you need to go to a K-Mart near you. I picked up four of the discount blasters of 2009 Upper Deck Spectrum for $5.99 and here are the results:

Some of the base, which are beyond shinny:

2009 Upper Deck Spectrum #71 Frank Thomas
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum #61 Johan Santana
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum #79 Greg Maddux
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum #40 Lance Berkman

Each blaster had one blue something or other...they aren't really refractors...or numbered...they're just blue versions of the purple base cards.

2009 Upper Deck Spectrum Blue #28 Brandon Phillips
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum Blue #19 Kosuke Fukudome
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum Blue #15 Jonathan Papelbon
2009 Upper Deck Spectrum Blue #47 Vladimir Guerrero

Each blaster also had one of the Upper Deck 20th Retrospective cards...I got Jesus and a guy who thinks he's Jesus:

Upper Deck 20th Anniversary Retrospective #368 Dow Jones Closes Over 3,000
Upper Deck 20th Anniversary Retrospective #7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Upper Deck 20th Anniversary Retrospective #53 Ken Griffey Jr.
Upper Deck 20th Anniversary Retrospective #128 Randy Johnson

And now we get to the whole point of buying these things...the relic cards. I struck gold on my first blaster with the Derek Jeter jersey and overall I think I did very well.
