2007 UD Masterpieces Box Break

What’s better than getting a great box for a great price? Getting great pulls of course. Let’s rock n’ roll.


This hobby box came with a beautiful 5 by 7 top-loader.
MP-9: Jered Weaver

Pack 1:
#11 Bucky Dent
Green Border #33: Chase UtleyUtley and Cliff Lee saved Philly from an embarrassing World Series. I’m not a big fan of the green borders because they don’t match well with the colors of the picture. But that’s just my opinion.

#7: Don Larsen
#75: Richard Nixon I think I’m going to start a Presidents binder.


Pack 2:
#69: Chien Ming Wang It’s a shame what happened to Wang. The ace of the Yankees rotation and two-time 19-game winner turns into a Nationals back-end starter because of a freak base running injury. I’ll be rooting for him.

#53: Cal Ripken Jr. Cover boy of 2007 UD Masterpieces.

#56: Hanley Ramirez
#40: Mike Piazza


Pack 3:
#78: Tom Glavine
Black Border #4: Bill Mazeroski (Numbered to 99) These are some sexy lookin’ cards! For any Yankee fans out there, he’s the reason we aren’t going for our 29th championship this season.

#28: Kei Igawa (RC)No comment.

#59: Bobby Doerr


Pack 4:
#17: Sandy Koufax
#4: Bill Mazeroski Border
#1: Babe Ruth One of the many Babe Ruth cards in the base set.

#79: Chipper Jones


Pack 5:
#37: Miguel Cabrera
Green Border #43: Troy Tulowitzki(RC)
#62: Luis Aparicio
#88: Chase Utley


Pack 6:
#13: Jacky Robinson
#35: Joe Mauer Green Border He should have won his third MVP last year instead of his first. Another reason why the BBWAA is a joke.

#35: Joe Mauer
#46: Michael Jordan Yeah, this wasn't the smartest move for Jordan.


Pack 7:
#4: Bill Mazeroski
Strokes of Genius SG-JR Redemption: Jeff Baker (An expired redemption card. Fantastic. I’m going to see if I can get this redeemed anyway.)

#22: Babe RuthRuth sporting a Sox uniform.

#85: 1969 New York Mets


Pack 8:
#3: Thompson
#29: Ken Griffey Jr.

Green Border #23: Roy Campanella
#21: Walter Johnson
#8: Lou Gehrig“Today, I consider myself… the luckiest man… on the face of the earth.” If there are any Gehrig fan’s out there, please read the biography on the Iron Horse called “Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig” by Jonathan Eig. I couldn’t put it down.


Pack 15:
#81: Chris Chambliss
CC-CR: Captured on Canvas: Cal Ripken Jr.

Holy -. In my short time of collecting, this is the best hit I’ve pulled. Move over printing plate of Stephen Drew! (A side note: the scan looks bad because of the toploader the card was in.)

#73: Justin Morneau
#47: John F. Kennedy
#34: Troy Tulowitzki

Pack 16:
#65: Alex Gordon (RC)
#82: Tim Lincecum (RC)

The best rookie to come out of 2007 UD Masterpieces.

#61: Jason Bay
#77: Alex Rodriguez

Pack 17:
#31: David Ortiz
#20: Ty Cobb

If you’ve ever needed to sum up Ty Cobb’s career, this picture would be great.

#15: Hideki Matsui
#2: Babe Ruth

Pack 18:
#30: Derek Jeter
Expect .320 or above this season. It’s a contract year, remember.

#48: Randy Johnson
#39: Frank Thomas
#33: Chase Utley


Whew! This was the most fun I've had busting a box of anything in a long time. Any baseball card collector must break a box of 2007 UD Masterpieces, period.
