Birthday Box - 2006 Upper Deck Ovation

This is the second box my Grandma gave me for my birthday. My dad gave me a box at the Winter Warm Up this year and I got a great Ken Griffey Jr. autograph. I also have cool Chien Ming Wang and Miguel Cabrera autographs from Ovation boxes. This box had another Cabrera auto (the wrong one), a scuffed HOF jersey card, an extra numbered rookie card, and a Pujols insert I didn’t have yet. Everyone but Albert is up for trade.

Another Dance Competition…

My sister had another dance competition last month and my dad surprised me again with a box of cards to open during the day. One routine = one pack. It was another box of 2006 Ovation. I got a numbered rookie Skip Schumaker card but the auto wasn’t as cool as the Griffey, Wang or Cabrerra autos from the other boxes. I’m keeping Schumaker – everything else is available for trade including the base cards.

Skip Schumaker Rookie #290 of 999

Mark Prior Jersey

Jeff Kent #6 of 499. I guess he might be a HOF’r some day?

Dave Gassner Rookie Auto #38 of 99

Dad – According to Baseball Reference, Dave Gassner debuted on April 16, 2005. His last game in the majors was April 21, 2005.

Another numbered 2006 Ovation rookie card, this time of our injured Ace – Adam Wainwright.

Winter Warm Up 2011–Friday Night!!!

We stayed at the Winter Warm Up hotel again this year. My dad surprised me with some baseball card packs and a some cheap boxes he bought on ebay. My dad bought me a box of 2006 Ovation for Christmas. I liked them so much that he bought two more cheap boxes on ebay. Here’s the cool stuff I got. It was awesome.

Numbered Cards


Jersey Cards


The first autograph was of Miguel Cabrera!


The second autograph was KEN GRIFFEY JR.!!!!!!!!! It was awesome. I high fived my dad for five minutes (Dad: At least five minutes of continuous high fiving followed by random shouts of “Yes!!!!” “Whooohooo!!!” and “Ken Griffey Jr!!!” the rest of the night.).

Ovation is awesome!!!
