Picked up a RETAIL bonus box. 2009 Goodwin Champions from Upper Deck. Includes a mix of baseball, football, golf, presidents, race horses, surfer, MMA and more. 12 packs, 4 cards per pack. 1 JDye mem/jersey card 6 mini's 1 Gypsy Queen mini
Overall C+ UD version of Allen & Ginter. Pros: classic design, colorful photo art images, and mini's. Cons: mostly baseball, and 4 cards per pack. I think the hobby version has 5 cards per pack.This message has been edited. Last edited by: webjon,

I did get a blasterbox, and had only a couple of non-sport subjects in it. I am amazed how much these are like Allen & Ginter, even down to the mini-cards with the black border.
I got an Abe Lincoln base card in my box, and realized Abe Lincoln must now be a base card in every sport set being issued. I think these aren't bad cards, but I doubt I would chase after them, I may pick up some of the non-sport subjects if i can find them.
GED -good work finding memorabilia cards in both packs.
