Adios, Hank White (with love from Upper Deck!!)

Last weekend I started slaying my three headed monster. Some of the results started arriving in the mail. Today I received several Cubs team sets including the Upper Deck 2007 set, a whopper with 41 cards!

Yesterday I was bemoaning the fact that Topps had never issued a card of Henry Blanco during his four years with the Cubs. But when going through the 41 2007 Upper Deck cards, who should I find but our friend Hank White. Upper Deck shows him some love.

Now I can give Henry Blanco a proper send off. Adios, amigo!

    You can actually find two versions of a 2008 Topps Henry Blanco, but neither is a pack pull. One comes from the Cubs "Team Edition" factory set. Blanco is one of the 5 exclusive Cubs cards. The other version (different photo) comes from the Cubs 55 card boxed "Gift team set". Both cards are in the standard 2008 Topps style.

    Thanks, and duh!! I have both of those cards! I put only the base and update set cards in my team set folders and completely forgot about the others. Thanks for the reminder.
