2008 Upper Deck Piece of History Hobby Box Review

In the Upper Deck Piece of History hobby boxes there are 16 packs per box and 8 cards per pack. Each box averages one memoribilia card, andone Hollywood memoribilia card. This is a review of one Piece of History box that I personally opened and was factory sealed when I bought it. For anyone who has not opened any Piece of History packs, there is a decoy card in the packs that do not contain a memoribilia card. You can find other uses for this extra cardboard or just throw it away. Here is the list of all of the star player (non-rookie) base cards that were in the box:

#7 John Smoltz

#8 Tom Glavine

#12 Nick Markakis

#14 David Ortiz

#20 Curt Schilling

#21 Alfonso Soriano

#25 Jim Thome

#26 Ken Griffey Jr.

#27 Adam Dunn (doubles)

#29 Matt Holliday

#33 Justin Verlander

#34 Miguel Cabrera

#37 Dontrelle Willis

#38 Hanley Ramirez

#40 Lance Berkman

#42 Carlos Lee

#81 Barry Zito

#85 Felix Hernandez

#86 Ichiro

#98 Frank Thomas

These were the star playrs that I received base cards of. In total I received 55 regular base cards (not including rookies or historical moments). The set of regular player base cards is 100, so I had a little more than half of that. I also received 26 of the 50 rookie cards that are base, one of which was also a serial numbered card. There was 16 serial numbered cards (non- game used or autographs) in the box total. My hits (the cards that are valued the most) included: Frank Thomas jersey card, Brandon Jones rookie autograph, Quad jersey card (Ivan Rodriguez, Joe Mauer, Jorge Pasada, Jason Varitek), Felix Hernandez numbered jersey car, and a GI Jane Hollywood card (part of the jacket. This box contained more jersey cards than the average box.
