Some more Chicle

I picked up a bunch more loose packs of Chicle on a couple different days. My luck with these seemed to be a little better. I beat the odds on SPs and variations. Still I didn't pull a hit or anything.

Pack 1
#97 Matt Kemp
#87 Ted Lilly
#105 Mark Reynolds
#296 Ernie Banks (SP)
#134 Felix Pie
#59 Wandy Rodriguez

Good start. An SP and several other base cards I needed.


Pack 2
#67 Mark Buehrle
#267 Tobi Stoner
#17 Ken Griffey Jr.
#190 Orlando Hundson
#103 Pablo Sandoval
#63 Aramis Ramirez


Pack 3
#52 Nick Swisher
#82 Josh Beckett
#127 Kyle Blanks
#250 Joe Morgan
#43 Ian Kinsler
#18 Josh Johnson

These were ALL cards I needed for my set. Perfect!


Pack 4
#62 Chad Billingsley
#102 Adam Wainwright
#140 Javier Vazquez
#293 Mickey Mantle (SP)
#23 Shane Victorino
#188 Rich Harden

Not Bad. 3 more base cards and an SP that I needed


Pack 5
#167 Ryan Ludwick
#197 Dan Haren
#25 Aaron Hill
#8 Jason Bartlett (Chicle back)
#193 Marc Rzepczynksi
#148 Chris Young

Huh!! There are 275 base cards with chicle variations, all with equal chances of being inserted into packs and somehow I managed to get 2 of the same card in the first 5 chicle variations that I pulled. Pretty strange, and frustrating for someone who is trying to collect the set of Chicle backs.


Here are 2 packs that I bought on a different day.

Pack 1
#57 Kosuke Fukudome
#27 Jacoby Ellsbury
#110 Curtis Granderson
#329 Juan Francisco (SP)
#8 Jason Bartlett
#93 Roy Oswalt

These were all cards I needed. I love it when that hapens, but pulling these Jason Bartlett cards is kinda getting old. At least now I have the base card to go with my 2 chicle backs.


Pack 2
#117 Jason Marquis
#162 Jonathan Papelbon
#150 Zach Duke
#144 Jhoulys Chacin (Bazooka back)
#223 Carl Yastrzemski
#158 Stephen Drew

Yeah budday!! this was a good way to end it. A bazooka back and 5 more cards for my base set.

If anyone has any cards that could help me out with this set please let me know. I'm being very ambitious with this set and I'm trying to knock out as much as possible while I have the momentum. I'm trying for the base set with SPs, and a set of variations which will end up a combo of Bazooka and Chicle backs.
