Repack madness

I haven't bought a repack box in a long, long time, probably since last summer. But I was in a mood to celebrate at Wal-Mart today. Andruw Jones won't be playing for the Dodgers anymore! What better way to celebrate the Dodgers' admission that they blew a stack of cash on old swing-and-miss than blowing five bucks on a bunch of cards I probably already have? Besides, how can you resist? It's over 80 cards (actually 88) for five dollars! That's less than 6 cents a card. I was a teenager the last time I bought a pack and paid less than 6 cents a card. And you have to love that the packagers apparently thought the gum was the best thing going in this box. Why else would they feature it front and center? I bought this in hopes that the packs were the three-panel rack packs that in 2006 featured inserted 1980s cards. Those packs in 2006 got me back into collecting current cards. But I should've known better. Instead, these are those almost useless single panel packs...
