My relic senses are tingling.
My local Target was quick to add their stock of 2013 Elite Extra Edition Baseball hanger boxes to their bargain bin. That's surprising considering 2014 Elite Extra Edition Baseball has yet to be released.
I purchased a particular blaster box of 2013 Elite Extra Edition Baseball for $12.80 only because I had a felling that it contained a Game Jerseys card. Was my intuition right? Let's find out!
