Ginter Code Promo

Pack Total = +4

Running Total = 38

Average Per Pack = 4.22

Comments: The Zombie card is now the ugliest piece of cardboard in my collection.  Going back to yesterday, that’s three packs in a row which have lowered my per pack average.  I’m due, baby!  I’m due!

Pack #10 = Second Hit!

270 – Mike Foltynewicz

296 – Kenley Jansen

094 – Xander Bogaerts

SP-66 Starting Points – Cole Hamels (favorite player) +4

Mini FIRST-8 First Ladies – Letitia Tyler +2

FSRB-LP Lakey Peterson 10^th Anniversary relic +6

021 – Kolten Wong

Pack Total = +12

Running Total = 50

Average Per Pack = 5.00

Comments: That was by far the most prolific scoring pack to date. The Lakey Peterson relic has that swimsuit feel to it.  That’s kind of cool.

Pack #11 = Another Choo Mini?  WTF?

234 – Michael Cuddyer

220 – Yasmani Grandal

109 – Troy Tulowitzki

WOULD-3 What Once Would Be – Robot Housekeepers +2

Mini 346 – Shin-Soo Choo (SP) +3

306 – Stephen Drew -1 (Stupid Yankee.)

290 – Ryan Zimmerman

285 – Ichiro

Pack Total = +4

Running Total = 54

Average Per Pack = 4.91

Comments: This is my second SP mini of Choo.  Granted the last one had the A&G back, but I’m not a fan of this.  And no, you won’t get a picture of the Choomongous like I showed last time. Boooo!

Pack #12

009 – Jeff Samardzija

298 – Rubby De La Rosa

265 – Jung Ho Kang

Mini 017 – Yadier Molina (favorite player) +3

SP-72 Starting Points – Matt Kemp +2

335 – Collin Cowgill

173 – Buster Posey

091 – Howie Kendrick

Pack Total = +5

Running Total = 59 (projected score = 118)

Average Per Pack = 4.92

Comments:  So, a Cardinal netted me three points. As a Cub fan, I would like the GAC Rules Committee to consider applying the Yankee Rule to the Cardinals for 2016.  Just sayin’. 

I'm halfway through the box, and although I've uncovered two of the three hits there has to me much more good mojo left in this box. Right?  I still haven't seen a 10th Anniversary card or a black bordered mini, plus a plethora of other A&G shenanigans which could pop up.  Good things are still to come!
