A Zippy Zappy Pack War, Part I

Lots of pictures of cards and a little commentary for scoring purposes. Zippy Zappy is famous for his Zappings and they always provide some tremendous cards which always fit right into my collection.

Here are the contestants: The Zippy Zappy pack is on the left and a pack of 2012 Panini Triple Play is on the right.

I finished my master set of 2012 PTP earlier this year so these will all be duplicates, which puts the ZZ pack up early: 1-0.

Round 1

 Ahh, Kris Bryant in a quadi-Reds jersey top versus a disheveled Dan Uggla. Kris has nice blue eyes. Uggla has an logo-less blue hat.  Point to Bryant.

Score:
Z Pack = 2
'12 PTP = 0

Round 2

 Addison versus Joe Mauer. I think Mauer's contract is going to be an albatross for the Twins before too much longer.  Russell?  Yeah, keep doing your thing at the league minimum.

Score:
Z Pack = 3
'12 PTP = 0

Round 3

 David Ross!  Fake eye black?  Sheesh.  Remind me why I chase the master set?

Score:
Z Pack = 4
'12 PTP = 0

Round 4

 Woo-Hoo!  Jorgie!  I don't know if likes being called Jorgie, but that's what I've been doing lately since hearing Maddon refer to him that way.  I like the FOCUS cards, but I like Jorgie more.

Score:
Z Pack = 5
'12 PTP = 0

Round 5

 Shazzam!  That's my second Chrome Update card and it's a beauty!  The sticker is, um, bright.  Again, no contest.

Score:
Z Pack = 6
'12 PTP = 0

Round 6

 Look, it's a purple parallel of Jon Lester against a puzzle piece containing Justin Upton's right ear.  I didn't know there were purple parallels, but I did know Upton had a right ear.  1 point for learning something new!

Score:
Z Pack = 7
'12 PTP = 0

Round 7

 Chromey numbered Addison versus Matt Holiday's left ear.  Hmmmm...  Two ear cards in a row. Weird. Just plain weird.

Final Score:
Z Pack = 8
'12 PTP = 0

Zippy Zappy has won every pack war on this blog, so it's not exactly a stretch to say a win was expected.  But, it's always nice to pad the shutout column in the stat ledger.

Thanks for the cards, Zippy!
