Target is a wonderful place, it truly is. It allows one to get birthday shopping done for 6 year olds, 30 somethings, buy groceries and of course feel like a kid again looking for baseball cards. The target I went to had been scavenged like a scene from "The Road" but I had to see if any scraps remained.
At first it didn't seem like I would be lucky. A dad and two young boys were scouring the cardboard keeping me away. They finally decided on 2010 Football something and allowed me to persue in peace. I found a ton of junk and a few blasters of Topps Series I and Topps Heritage, but no Bowman. The pack cartridge with Bowman actually had dust built up on it, long empty. But then I looked up, and there it was, a blister pack. There are no witnesses to attest to it, but I swear there was a glow around the package when I saw it.
Naturally I couldn't let it go. Who could?

Not too bad for $9. The Givens is not available and the Harper is up for sale on eBay. Everything else is available for trade. I also grabbed some Topps Series I and Opening Day to be posted at a later date.
My scanner is still broken, so the Harper image is not of the exact card.
