Well, now that my box of Ginter is duly busted, I figured that I’d give my 2 cents on the product itself since in the heat of battle I didn’t really comment so much on the cards themselves. First off, let’s start with the base cards. I’m sure at this point everyone is pretty familiar […]

The box is almost done. I’m actually pretty damn impressed with myself that I haven’t broken down and just busted the whole think in one sitting. I need to remember this for future reference because it really made the enjoyment of busting this box last a good long time. Usually though I never have that […]

Here we go again. Getting down to the wire. Pack 19 #277 Regis Philbin (I don’t know why, but I’m sort of glad to have a Regis Philbin card.) #124 Andrew McCutchen #34 Delmon Young #186 Jose Reyes (+1 for being a member of my favorite team, although the Mets are skating on thin ice […]

We’re moving into the the third and final stack of packs. I feel a little bit like I’m just playing out the string at this point what with being 2/3 of the way through and only having 106 points. That’s okay though, maybe I’ll at least pull some cool cards. Let’s see. Pack 17 #83 […]

We’ve already knocked out half of the packs in this box and we’re sitting at 70 points. I’ve not been too happy thus far, but we still have 2 hits (hopefully) and the box topper left to go, so maybe this box won’t be as bad as I’ve been expecting. Let’s get to it. Pack […]

Half way through the box and we’re nowhere near breaking 100 points. I’d say that’s a good recipe for success, wouldn’t you? Here we go. Pack 11 #179 Ben Zobrist #242 Jules Verne #187 Jair Jurrjens #168 Rickie Weeks #32 Joba Chamberlain (-1 for being a Damn Yankee) #218 Todd Helton #SSS3 Sir Walter Raleigh […]

Pack 9 #254 Rich Harden #264 Captain Nemo (I almost want to give myself points for this card because it’s so cool, but I’ll stick to the rules) #26 Andy Pettitte (-1 for being a Yankee) #220 Manny Ramirez #1 Adam Lind #312 Carlos Ruiz SP (+2 for being short printed) #110 Sherlock Holmes Mini […]

So apparently nobody in the Mets organization has been paying attention to my well thought-out treatise on why it is so important for them to win games against the Braves. They’ve already lost a disastrous 2 games against them, putting them 5 games behind. Hopefully Johan Santana can work his magic and at least salvage […]

Pack 4, and 1/6th of the way through the box. #20 Sacagawea On of the non-baseball subject sets that I’ve always liked in the various Allen & Ginter sets is the Native American subjects. It’s be cool if someone put out an entire set like that. #268 Brad Kilby RC #146 Carlos Lee If you […]
