2015 Adventures in Repacks: Part 11.2: Target Repack Withdrawal

The packs were done yesterday, time to show off the rest. Up first, the bonus item:
1993 Kraft Robin Ventura - WOO-HOO! There's an interesting bonus item. If you pull on that little pull tab on top of the card, the Robin Ventura pops up, and stands about 5 cm high. The stats are revealed there on the main card surface, and the back of the tab that comes out the back has "Tips For Playing Thrid Base". This is a really cool addition to my misc. collection. Pulling a SP from the packs and this as the bonus item makes an already good repack box even better.

And now, 50 cards of randomness!
2010 Topps - Felix Hernandez - Always nice to start with an interesting photo.
2011 Topps - Fred Lewis
1990 Topps Rookies - Junior Felix - After no Jays in the packs, nice to get one of these out of the way early.
2007 UD - Daisuke Matsuzaka - This would have been a great pack pull in 2007. Not so much now. But the mascot cameo is nice.
1991 Conlon Babe Ruth - Oddball sighting!
1990 Leaf - Drew Hall - Expos content!
1993 Classic - Scott Christman
1993 UD - Orel Hershiser
1989 Topps - German Jimenez - The oldest card in the repack.
1990 Donruss - Lloyd Moseby - More Blue Jay content!
2001 Topps - Jeffrey Hammonds
1990 Topps - Frank Viola - And my first Met from this part of the repack.
1993 Donruss - Scott Livingstone
1990 Score - Steve Balboni
1994 Leaf - Erik Hanson
1991 Studio - Alan Trammel
1994 Triple Play - Craig Biggio - At least they didn't airbrush Craig into the new Astros unis.
2007 UD - Brandon Wood
1993 UD - Freddie Benavides
1995 Coll. Choice - Julian Tavarez - Wow. This card is pink. Perhaps the pinkest out there. Including Mike
Laga's 1987 Topps.
2001 Topps - Montreal Expos Team Card - WOO-HOO! More Expos content!
1990 Fleer - Sid Bream
1991 Leaf - Von Hayes
1992 Donruss - Yorkis Perez - One of my favourite names in baseball. Maybe just because I like saying Yorkis.
2010 Topps - Josh Hamilton - Interesting that both the 2010 Topps so far have been pretty good names.
1991 Donruss - Dave Stieb's no-hitter
1990 Leaf - Erik Hanson
1993 Classic - Chris Singleton
1993 Classic - Cameron Smith
1993 UD - Mike Jackson - Yes, I'm highlighting the photo on the back on this one. And so would you.
1990 Donruss - John Moses
1992 Fleer - Dave Stieb - Two Dave Stiebs in the same repack.
1991 Leaf - Kevin Gross
1993 Pinnacle Cooperstown Card - Will Clark
2001 Topps - Milwaukee Brewers Team Photo
2001 Topps - Clay Bellinger
1991 Score - Ron Jones
1993 UD - Tony Tarasco
1992 Studio - Bobby Bonilla - And the Mets content resumes.
1991 Studio - Mookie Wilson - Followed by a card of a guy I power-collect.
1993 Donruss - Shane Mack
1992 Topps - BJ Surhoff
1993 Donruss - Craig Shipley
2011 Topps - Carlos Quentin
2011 Topps - Jason Hammel - A meeting of the minds.
2011 Topps - Brian Duensing - Followed by another one.
2011 Topps - Jeff Mathis
2011 Topps - Edgar Renteria
2011 Topps - Derek Lowe
2011 Topps - Bobby Abreu - Fin.

This might be one of the better of those 4 packs/bonus/50 cards I've busted. Definitely up there in terms of interesting content.
