2010 Topps WWE Rumble Pack First Impressions

I ran across this pack of cards @ my local Target the other day while running errands for work (yes, even when on the clock I find time to make a quick stop @ the card aisle!). The packs were in a gravity feeder mixed right in with the newly placed 2010 Topps Series 2 feeder. I had no clue what these were or that they were coming out, but since I had just went to a Monday Night RAW show in Charlotte the week before I grabbed a pack just for kicks.

Before I got to the actual cards let's take a look at the wrapper and the seeded inserts and their odds.

The packs are very thin. Seeing how there are only 6 cards per pack that makes sense. Let's see, it says to look for Hidden Image cards, Pop-Ups, Thumb-Wrestling Tattoos, Fightin' Finger Puppets and Glow-in-the-Dark cards. OK, this reminds me of another set back in the day. Ah yes, Upper Deck's Fun Packs!


Flip the pack over and it says you'll get 4 cards + 2 sticker cards in every pack. This is definitely sounding like Upper Deck's Fun Packs now.

Insert Odds:

- Finger Puppets 1:4
- Pop-Ups: 1:4
- Hidden Image Cards 1:6
- Temporary Tattoos 1:6
- Glow-in-the-Dark cards 1:6

OK, lets rip the pack open and see what we get!

#41 Ted DiBiase (son of the WWE Hall of Famer the "Million Dollar Man")
#3 Carlito
#50 Checklist

After looking over the checklist it's rather dull. You would think if the base set is only 50 cards then shouldn't there be a variety of included wrestlers? Instead you get 30 different personalities with several of them having 2 cards numbered consecutively. At least card #37 is of Santino Marella! Moving on...

Next card is an insert! We got a Pop-Up of John Cena. God, I can just hear all the girls behind me screaming "We love you John Cena" from the RAW show. Flip the card over and it appears there are 9 cards in this insert set. Nothing fancy here - just your typical pop-up.

Next card is one of the mentioned stickers. #7 of 30 is of the Undertaker. Going with a cartoony direction here it appears. I'm sure kids will love these.

Flip the card over and a la Garbage Pail Kids we have a yellow bordered puzzle to put together. The bald guy looks like Kane while the other appears to be CM Punk.

Next card is the other sticker. This time its of Randy Orton #27 of 30.

Flip this over and instead of a puzzle piece we get a bio on the wrestler. Blah blah blah.

In conclusion this has the potential to be a fun little set. At $1.99 a pop it may be somewhat expensive to build, but I can see Topps cashing in with the popularity of the WWE brand and with a set that is aimed at the younger fans. I see myself picking up a few more packs in the near future and I just may try to build it - just don't ask me why!

Autograph & Plastic Pages - Do They Get Along?

I'm in the midst of organizing my Braves cardboard collection and I want to put everything I have in pages so I can enjoy them a little more. Question I have to you fellow collectors is how do autographed cards (on card or stickered) hold up over time in pages? Will the ink on the cards smear or rub off or will the pages stick to the autograph itself?

Here are two examples I recently picked up. I didn't spend much on them, but I still don't want the cards to be ruined by leaving them in plastic pages. By the way I use the Ultra Pro pages commonly found at retailers such as Target.

Rey Ordonez Collection Growing!

It's not that often that I find new Rey Ordonez cards to add to the collection, but thanks to eBay's change fee structure I'm seeing more and more of his cards again...however I have 99.8% of them already. I did luck out a few weeks back and found these 2 for a buck each. I always loved the majority of what Pacific manufactured. They did though get a little carried away with the parallels during the late 90's and through the 2000's. Some of these are so hard to come across these days...and don't even get me started about the 2000 Pacific Prism set!

2000 Pacific Crown Royale #90 Ruby parallel

2000 Pacific Crown Royale #90 Limited Series (020/144)

Trade Completed!

I completed this trade last week with The Priceless Pursuit, but with my group break I was too busy to get this posted.

I got a Phil Hughes Peak Performance relic from my box of 2010 Series 2 Topps several weeks ago and gladly traded it away for this nice 2007 UD Sweet Spot jersey of former Braves 1B Fred McGriff. I don't come across many McGriff cards in a Braves uniform much less a game used card. The trade went very smoothly and I look forward to dealing away more Yankees in the near future!

Group Break Final Results!

Everyone that claimed a team got a good many cards and everyone got at least one insert...even if it was just a parallel. I've added a few cards and surprises to most of the teams so be on the look out for those once the package arrives in your mail box. Speaking of mailing, I hope to have all of these out in the mail by Friday of this week.
