2009 Allen and Ginter Mayhem

How's It going everyone, Allen and Ginter Mayhem has taken over the universe. This years set is a pretty solid one and there is some pretty weird/cool things to collect in the set this year and the cards look much better than last year or 2007 blah background look (see Beckett Card).

I started collecting the set the other day when I stopped into my local card shop to pick up some card supplies (which quickly led to me picking up two packs of Allen and Ginter why not I was there already) I ripped the packs and really didn't get anything worth writing about but really liked how the cards looked and some of the neat parallels like hoaxes and the negro league players very cool.

Well after a week of searching and looking blaster finally showed up at my local target and this is where the true Allen and Ginter mayhem begins. I'll show you some of the highlights from the first blaster box.

Last Hit
Ok so the Target blaster has an ad for a bonus pack included in the blaster and this was the last pack on the left side of the separation totally unexpected

AGR-MO Magglio Ordonez

Pretty unexpected I've never pulled anything from a blaster before and to get a jersey card was totally unexpected and just the icing on the cake to a super blaster for me.

I've read the box fine print and all and nowhere does it list that there is a guaranteed jersey card so is this a legit hit? seems like it to me

Look for Blaster #2 tomorrow I'll post the second one in pieces so its easier to read
