Saturday I and one of my granddaughters went to visit her cousins in Vancouver, WA. After visiting with them for while I went to a super sports card store on Andresen, the Diamond King knows of what I speak. I was desperate for packs because they are hard to find in Portland. I picked up some Donruss, some Series Two, and a couple of things. I spotted this pack and inquired about it. For $34 you get eight autographed cards. Each card has an authentication sticker on it. The pack says they were pre certified by Beckett. I picked up one pack and below are the eight cards I got.
Not a lot of star power there, but for a Mets fan Danny Heep and Ed Charles would be pretty good pulls, especially Charles. Can't imagine either one has much in the way of certified autos, either.
Congratulations on pulling a Padre for your collection. Were any of these cards numbers you needed for your Frankenset? According to the website on the wrapper, there is suppose to be one hall of famer per pack.

Very interesting. Is the sticker on the backs of the cards? Any high numbers for the frankenset?
the sticker is on the back of the cards. it is small. I haven't checked the numbers yet.

Interesting product. I haven’t seen or heard of that before
Cool concept, nice selection too.
