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.

Anybody else experiment with this release?

Got another retail bonus box.

1 Lincoln Stamp relic 62/100
1 Gypsy Queen mini

Found some more historical personalities.

I bought a copuple of packs, these are very much like Allen & Ginter, I might pick up a blaster box just to see whats in it.

bought 2 packs of these to see what they are like and i must say i really like them. This is my first sport set and i only really looked at it because of the non sport ties. in the 2 packs i got the following

3 base cards
2 minis
yastrzemski memorabillia
Ford memorabillia

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.
