My Birthday

was yesterday and I decided to go shopping online for cards. On Dave and Adam's Card World I found a box of 20 packs of the 2008-09 Legends Masterpieces set for $25 and I just had to get it. I was gonna open them 5 packs-a-day, but not opening packs all at once is like eating just one Lay's potato chip. Here's my first pack break on the internet.

Pack 1:
#16-Theoren Fleury
#87-Mark Messier*
#25-Lanny McDonald
#49-Brian Leetch

a good pack, I was hoping to get the Fleury and McDonald, an okay pack.

Pack 2:

#70-Rogie Vachon*
#64-Rick MacLeish*
#9-Richard Brodeur
#31-Tony Esposito

MacLeish, awesome, and Brodeur (not the gay one, his dad) in the old Canucks V-sweater.

Pack 3:

#53-Guy Lafleur*
#44-Scotty Bowman*
#66-Marty McSorley*
#12-Mario Lemieux*

okay, all doubles, that's cool though.

Pack 4:

#68-Dale Hawerchuk*
#24-Pat LaFontaine*
#81-Mario Lemieux
#84-Mark Messier

another Lemieux and another Messier in this set.

Pack 5:

#22-Cam Neely
#45-Glenn Anderson
#5-Jari Kurri
#8-Ron Hextall
#83-Phil Esposito

All new cards to me, and a Hextall card.

I love this set so much. The painting idea by Upper Deck is so smart, and to print it on a canvas was genius. Still looking for a couple cards like the Parent and the Sutters.
