2011 Topps Retail 4-Pack - Good Friday Sparkle MOJO!

Just grabbed one of these at the grocery store to have a little break today - this is the retail four pack hanger that comes with a Diamond Giveaway card on the front.  I like these for a few of reasons:

1 - Nobody has mangled the packs trying to feel for game used or whatever.
2 - The Diamond Giveaway - A chance for a 1987 Topps common - You bet!
3 - I seem to have pretty decent luck with these - having pulled 2 SP cards out of 3-4 of these.
4 - They added 4 more cards - so each pack is a 12 card pack.

So, without further ado, here is my first pack break on my blog!

Opening the retail packaging, the Diamond Giveaway features Derek Jeter - I will enter the codes at the end and share my fabulous prize with you all at that time.

Pack 1: Pedro Alvarez RC (no RC logo), Ichiro, Topps 60 Neftali Feliz, History of Topps #7 - 1989 Bowman, Topps Town Adrian Gonzalez, Ryan Braun - the rest were commons.

Pack 2:  Diamond Parallel Clayton Kershaw, 60 Years of Topps Cliff Lee, Topps Town Josh Hamilton, nothing too exciting outside the Kershaw.

Pack 3:  I let my five year old handle this one - he pulled Kyle Drabek RC, Zack Greinke SPARKLE SP!!!, Kimball Champions Mat Latos, Topps Town Troy Tulowitzki, Hanley Ramirez.  I need to let him open more packs, he opened his first ever pack a few months ago and pulled a game used from a box of 2010 Topps Update.

Pack 4:  Joey Votto, Yonder Alonso RC, 60 Years Stan Musial Original Back, Jeter/Cano Diamond Duos, Topps Town Roy Halladay, Roy Halladay

Diamond Giveaway Code:  I will have to check later, looks like they are having technical difficulties.

Not a bad hit out of a retail pack - will be adding the inserts and what not to my trade page shortly.  Thanks for tuning in!
