2008 Goudy - again

Time to rip open another pack of 2008 Goudey. I said it before, I'll say it again. I like the set, it's just not stunning. It's a nice looking set with a simple, clean design and decent artwork. The little Griffey and Jeter blips at the bottom are starting to annoy me, but beyond that it's a decent set. I don't know that I'll try to complete the set. I guess it's not a terribly large set so it wouldn't be too difficult, but I'm just not completely sold on it yet. We shall see.
Let's see what we got:

1. Tom Glavine
2. Shane Victorino
3. Ryan Braun
4. Marlon Byrd
5. Wladimir Balentien
6. Pedro Martinez
7. Matt Holliday
8. Alfonso Soriano

This pack kind of makes me go "eh." Nice looking cards though.

2008 Goudy

I was at Target yesterday and I wanted to pick up my first pack of 2009 cards, but, lo and behold, they were all out. So I settled for a couple packs of 2009 cards, which I'll be ripping and posting up here in the next couple of days. Here's the first:

2008 Goudey

1. Larry Dobb
2. Brandon Webb
3. Jorge Posada
4. Aaron Rowand
5. Carlos Pena
6. Ryan Howard
7. Kosuke Fukudome
8. Alex Rodriguez

Anyone that's ever read this blog could probably guess that I'd really like this set. And I do. Not as much as Turkey Red or even Heritage, but I think it's a cool set. I'm not a huge fan of the Jeter says...or Griffey says...at the bottom of the card, but oh well. You take the good with the bad.
