Pack Wars I: Pack 05 - 2007 Upper Deck Series 1

Pack Wars is quickly dissolving into a mere Pack Scuffle. Box #1 has smacked Box #2 with a couple of left hooks, a right jab, and a left hook. Could this be the knockout punch that sends Box #2 back to the dusty card aisle where it (apparently) should have remained? Or, is this the first pack where Box #2 decides to fight back?

Pack #05: 2007 Upper Deck Series 1

Box #1:

150. Jason Bartlett (0 points)

352. Kenny Lofton (0 points)
382. Pedro Martinez (I never really liked Pedro much... 0 points)

416. Josh Barfield (0 points)
489. Matt Holliday - Colorado Rockies Checklist (0 points)

Upper Deck Code Card (0 points. Have at that code kids...it's from 2007 but maybe it's still good.)

Total score: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 points.

Well, if Box #2 is ever going to make a move to get on the board, this is the time. What a pathetic pack... 0 points might actually be generous...

Box #2:

1. Doug Slaten (0 points)

257. Juan Cruz (0 points)

357. Takashi Saito (0 points)

412. Shane Youman (It's a Pirate! 2 points...just in the nick of time too - these packs stink.)

422. Geoff Blum (0 points)

Total score: 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 2 points.

Two Diamondbacks, a Dodger, and a Padre...4 out of the 5 cards were NL West teams. The good news for Box #2 was that the 5th card was a Pirate card worth 2 whopping points. Even so, it only took 2 points to win this pack battle... I think this battle was less of a Box #2 victory and more of Box #1 falling on its own sword and stabbing itself in the eye.

Running tally:
Box 1: 4 pack wins and +53 total points
Box 2: 1 pack win and +35 total points

Box 2 is finally on the scoreboard with a pack win...and it closed the gap ever so slightly in total points in the process. Eleven packs left...plenty of time for a monumental comeback by box 2!
