I mentioned earlier that I picked up a blaster of 2009 Spectrum. Rather than cover every card laboriously, I thought I’d hit the box highlights. Oh, and this is probably the laziest issue I’ve seen in a few years, featuring players in their 2007 uniforms yet labeled as their 2008 team. Pretty unacceptable in a 2009 issue, I’d think. You’ll see what I mean. Not to say I don’t like the cards, though. I have a Ryan Zimmerman and thought it was nice enough to buy the box, after all, and I don’t regret it.
Magglio Ordonez, Ryan Howard, Hanley Ramirez

John Smoltz (second Smoltz of the day – Definitely a theme), Xavier Nady (see what I mean? He was a Yankee for a good portion of 08), CC Sabathia (same applies here, too)
Joba Chamberlain, Aaron Rowand blue, Alex Rodriguez
Adam Dunn, David Ortiz, Brandon Phillips
Jonathan Papelbon, Erik Bedard, B.J. Upton
And that was my Saturday Break! I’m happy with what I got overall.
