2008 Masterpieces Hobby Pack

The Collective Troll can back me up on this: Roller Derby girls know how to party...

So I went to my local card shop to pick up a box to ship hiflews winnings in and wanted to get a pack so I could justify using my card for a .50 cent box. I wanted to grab a pack of Lineage, but they were sold out, so I went with the most interesting thing in the case.

The Masterpieces sets looks uhmazing and I'm pretty sure a couple bloggers are collecting it, so maybe I can pull something cool or something for someone's set list. Check it...

#31 Todd Helton
Over/under- 3,000 career hits.
I'm giving Helton the over.

#52 Ken Griffey Jr.
Over/under- 95% of the vote in his first year of HOF eligibility.
I would say under. While I find there to be absolutely nothing to not vote "yes" for, there seems to be some 1st year hazing going on with the voters, so it wouldn't shock me.

#108 Joe DiMaggio SP
Over/under- I'll be able to think of an over/under for DiMaggio before the end of this post.
Gotta go with the under here. I'm coming up short at the moment.

A... dummy card?
Wh-what the fuck is this? We've all gotten dummy cards before. They're there to keep pack searchers on their toes and fake them out that there's a relic to be found. Fine, not a big deal. They serve as packing material for trades and they never take up the spot of a card in the pack.

Here's where my confusion lies, this card is not thick like a relic card would be. It's actually thinner than a regular base card. So what purpose could this possible serve? But here's the real good part...

That's everything from the pack. 3 base cards and 1/4th of a dummy card. Just so we're all on the same page, a hobby pack of 2008 Masterpieces contains 6 cards to the pack. So not cool.

Oh well. Things have been going pretty well for me in the life department lately, so obviously whoever's in charge of dishing out karma fucked up and got me on the "good" list, so if this is how things are gonna even out, then I'm ok with that. All 3 cards are up for trade, so let me know if something tickles your fancy.
