Sorry for the delay - had to deal with someone breaking in to my truck today while my son was in his speech therapy session. Stole a bunch of stuff that I had sold on eBay, so I was contacting the buyers to make everything right. Anyway, without further ado;
The man in brown (UPS) dropped off a box full of goodies for me just after five o'clock my time. The box from Dave & Adams was well packed - I had ordered some supplies and they were all accounted for as well. The box of Chicle is the retail product, featuring 24 packs with six cards per pack. I started opening it, and was pleasantly surprised with the ratio of inserts in the box - it seemed like there were only two packs without a parallel or hit in them. Pretty good for a retail box at any rate. Here are the hits:
Autograph - Tobi Stoner (Mets)
Relic Card - Elvis Andrus (Rangers)
Black Umbrella - Walter Johnson (Washington) 04/25
Bazooka Backs - JJ Hardy (Twins), Mel Ott (Giants) - SP, Joel Pineiro (Angels), BJ Upton (Rays)
Chicle Backs - Michael Brantley (Indians) - SP, Buster Posey (Giants), Adrian Gonzalez (Padres), Michael Brantley (Indians), Phil Hughes (Yankees), Mickey Mantle (Yankees), Tim Lincecum (Giants)
SP Cards - Rogers Hornsby (Cardinals) 277, Walter Johnson (Washington) 290, Cy Young (Indians) 291, Ryan Zimmerman (Nationals/Expos) 309, Drew Stubbs (Reds) 316, Juan Francisco (Reds) 329
Based on the odds, I was lucky to get an auto and relic in the same box. The Black Umbrella is one per three boxes, the SP Bazooka Back is 1:100 packs, and the SP Chicle is 1:50. Not bad for a $30 retail box!
Will post some scans of cards - everything is for trade (except the Stubbs RC). Thanks!
