Pack Break: 2007 Topps Series 2 Baseball HTA Jumbo Pack

It's been a long, long time since I've busted a pack of baseball cards. Between moving into the middle of nowhere and a whole lot of boredom with the sports side of the hobby, I've avoided packs for a while. Well, here's a throwback - a jumbo pack of 50 cards. So without further ado, let's get to the goods:

So in one pack I got 40 base cards (roughly 1/8 of the base set) and another 10 inserts - including an autograph. Not bad for $12 CDN. So maybe the majority of the inserts are kind of garbage, still I kind of like the Mantle Home Run cards. Even without getting the autograph, I'd still be very pleased with the pack given the fact that it took a big lump out of the set I was looking to start without breaking the bank.
