We're staying with the high-end baseball products, breaking open a box of:

2008 Sweet Spot Baseball

• 8 cards/pack
• 6 packs/box ($95)

One auto card or memorabilia card per pack, on average. That has my interest! And some of what we got was cool, others ho-hum. But first this little diddy.

The last pack was thicker than the rest. When the cellophane was opened, it contained a tin box. I'm thinking, "Cool, must be something really good." Well, what was in it? Nothing. Nothing but base cards and an extra thick filler!! Wow, what a disappointment. Too bad it wasn't on video, because you'd all be groaning.

So what did we get among the goodies? Here's the list:

• Sweet Spot Signatures: Bobby Richardson (numbered to 250)
• Sweet Beginnings Auto: Brian Bixler (numbered to 699)
• Sweet Swatch Quad Memorabilia: Mike Schmidt, Ozzie Smith, Will Clark and Ryne Sandberg
• Sweat Swatch Memorabilia: Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter and David Ortiz.

The coolest part of the base cards in the "stitching" placed along the sides of the cards.
