Night Owl Cards

I heard a rumor that 2010 Topps packs had made it to my Target. I was shocked that cards that I normally don't see in person, until a week or two after they've been plastered all over everyone's blog, would be available. So, I took a detour during my errands, pulled into Target, and picked up a single pack of 2010 Topps . That's right, a single pack. I showed remarkable restraint. What? You don't believe me? Then I'll show you the cards. And I have to tell you, I must have gotten a mutant pack with all the inserts. First the base cards: Woo- hoo , a Dodger! OK, onto the inserts. The '51 Topps retro card. The Turkey Red insert. Oops, there's that blasted Toppstown card. Here's one of those "When They Were Young" cards. And here's one of the "Tales of the Game" inserts. Finally, two of those "Cards Your Mother Threw Out." There you are, one pack, 12 cards, of 2010 Topps .* Barenaked Ladies, play us out...

Many of you have probably already seen the Topps flagship design for 2010, which was released today. But if not, I present it to you here now. Ladies and gentlemen, the 2010 Topps design, the most modern, cutting edge, futuristic design that we know: What? That's not it? You say that's the design for a 2002 card? The 2002 Post set? An oddball set? You say THIS is the design for 2010? Hmmmm . Could have fooled me. (I actually like the 2010 design. A Topps set that looks like an oddball set is cool with me). H/T: Wax Heaven .
