I was shocked that cards that I normally don't see in person, until a week or two after they've been plastered all over everyone's blog, would be available. So, I took a detour during my errands, pulled into Target, and picked up a single pack of 2010 Topps.
That's right, a single pack. I showed remarkable restraint.
What? You don't believe me? Then I'll show you the cards. And I have to tell you, I must have gotten a mutant pack with all the inserts.
First the base cards:

OK, onto the inserts.

There you are, one pack, 12 cards, of 2010 Topps.*
*DISCLAIMER: I didn't really go to Target and buy a pack of 2010 Topps cards. These are all cards from past releases that each resemble -- in appearance or theme -- this year's cards.**
**DISCLAIMER TO THE DISCLAIMER: Actually, I did go to Target. Still no 2010 cards. I did pick up a handful of 2009 packs. I had a good time opening them. No, you're not going to see them. You're just interested in the new stuff.
Finally, this doesn't mean I don't like 2010 Topps. It's just that I don't see much new in the set.
Comments
No new Topps at my Target either.
1) Night Owl was able to get a pack of 2010 Topps!!! even in the boondocks of outskirts NY
2) Gonzo warranted a SP. but then I got down to Conine and started to get my suspicions.
great post - good laugh!
Love Mike Sweeney though, so I was blind due to him. I blame that.
I've also got nothing at Target. But I couldn't leave empty handed so I left with a U&H pack (rack pack? what do they call these these days?)
We don't have a Target here, but we're heading to the Wal Mart (20 miles away) later today. I wonder if they have the 2010s yet
