6 more rack packs purchased today x 36 cards = 216 cards - 6 insert cards = 210 base cards.
For those of you following at home, that is now 26 rack packs and a total of 910 base cards.
To build a 330 card set.
26 rack packs that originally had a $4.99 sticker price. ($129.74 in 2008)
26 rack packs that I've only paid $2.39 per pack ($62.14 in 2009)
26 rack packs to finally finish my Series 2 set. Priceless.
NO, I FUCKING LITERALLY MEAN PRICELESS, BECAUSE THE DAMN THING IS STILL MISSING CARDS.
Cards I need to finish my 2008 Topps Series 2 set:
472 Shawn Marcum
507 Mark DeRosa
543 Carlos Lee
Unbelievable. I really don't know what else to say. This is 2007 all over again, and I haven't even started on Series 3 yet. I now could've bought the entire factory set for what I've spent trying to build a Series 2 set. That's what I've spent in 2009 too, not what I would've had to spend last year. For that kind of money I could've bought TWO factory sets.
Gee Topps, I wonder why you keep losing customers year after year? Perhaps 50 years of fucking over good paying customers has finally caught up to you. As it should.
If anybody has these three cards and they would like to trade me for the 583 doubles I have, please drop me a line. Before I go and buy more packs.
Please.

I have a boatload of doubles but only found one of these - Carlos Lee. I will hold it for you in case nobody else comes up w/ all 3. I am two cards away from this set myself
533 McClellan and
586 Crisp.
I've got both of those. Maybe we can work up a bigger trade. Anything else you might be looking for in regards to any teams maybe?
