A few nights ago I took my oldest daughter to Target to buy her a treat as instructed by my wife. Before we headed back to the toy department, I stopped by the card section to see if anything new caught my eye. Sure there were lots of new Panini baseball sets I know nothing about. Football card season has started so there were several new things, but I'm still having a hard time bringing myself to buy a pack of cards these days. I thought about buying another rack pack of GPK Chrome, but I didn't want to drop $10 on a few cards. Thankfully the new series 3 GPK cards were finally in stock...at $2.49 a pack now? I saw they had rack packs too and did the quick math to see what was the better deal. 10 cards for $2.49 or 21 cards + a bonus sticker for $4.99. Grabbed the rack pack and headed on back to find a Barbie or something girly for my daughter.
I grabbed several packs of series 1 and a few of series 2, but never actively tried tocomplete the set (a or b) because I was building so many sport card sets. Now that I'm not really chasing any one set, I just may have to put more focus on GPK again.
I ended up buying a second rack pack last night and I was very disappointed that 19 of the 21 cards in my 2nd pack were dupes! The collation was horrible. I'll try a 3rd rack pack, but if I get similar results I may just have to resort to trading to fill my holes. That said I'll list my dupes for anyone wanting to make a trade. Just look for my trade links in the left hand side bar.
