2009 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Tin (Target Retail)

It's been awhile since I've posted on here! This entry is posted concurrently on my Nachos Grande blog.

These $29.99 tins have been staring at me from the bottom of the Target card aisle shelf for quite some time now. I probably should have continued to let them stare at me...



$29.99 for 3 packs of 8 cards each:

The contents of the three packs:

Pack 1:
15. CC Sabathia (who I turned over because A. you want to be able to see the back of the cards and B. no one wants to see CC now that he's a Yankee)
22. Cliff Lee
31. Felix Hernandez
38. Hideki Okajima
71. Manny Ramirez
87. Roy Oswalt
94. Tim Lincecum
Stupid Retrospective #1586. Tiger "the floozy" Woods

Pack 2:
17. Chase Utley
20. Chris Carpenter
44. Pedro Martinez
57. Johnny Cueto
73. Mark Teixeira
76. Max Scherzer
93. Stephen Drew
100. Zack Greinke
Pack 3:
5. Albert Pujols
12. Carlos Beltran
21. Clayton Kershaw
53. Joe Mauer
61. Josh Beckett
68. Kevin Youkilis
Stupid Retrospective #1591. Joe "some hockey guy" Sakic
Sweet Swatch Memorabilia: SS-AJ: Adam Jones


This is the second retail tin of Sweet Spot that I've ever purchased (the other was a 2008 tin). In each case, my "hit" was less than inspiring...and it made me mad that I wasted 30 bucks. Fool me once Upper Deck, shame on you. Fool me twice and you'll never do it again - no more retail Sweet Spot for me, ever.
