Once upon a time there was a young blogger who had just gotten out from dinner at Applebee’s. He and his mother went to Target to pick up some cayenne pepper. Sadly, they did not find any. While walking out, something caught the corner of his eye: A green foil wrapper with an image of Spider-Man pulling his mask down. Doing a double-take, the blogger turned around and walked back into the card section of the store. Laying in the “$1 Packs” box was a booster of Vs. System’s Web of Spider-Man set. A quick dig revealed another MSM pack as well as a single pack of Marvel Origins. A quick conversation with his mom (he hadn’t brought his wallet…) and he was able to get all three packs, the mother being awesome enough to break a $20 for $3 in cards. With a skip in his step, the blogger returned home.
I just love it when a blog topic throws itself at me. I was honestly incredibly surprised to find these three boosters at my local store. These things haven’t been in stores for over three years! When I first saw Spidey, I figured it was a Marvel Masterpieces booster seeing as how they have Savage Beatdown and the MMK Spider-Man as two of their pack styles. However, the green forced me to check again.
So, I’m using this little find as an excuse to try something new. I am going to open up each pack and blog out its contents on here. I’ll start with the Green Goblin pack, followed by Spidey, followed by Origins. Each time I open a pack, I’ll take a pic and edit it into this post. Sure, it really isn’t THAT exciting but who here has walked into a supermarket and walked out with Vs. recently? Exactly.
With that, to Goblin!
