Final thoughts:
Wow, as I opened this pack up I wasn't overly impressed...but it ended up scoring as the second best pack thus far. Now that I've opened up half the box, I can't say that I'm overly impressed. I like the base cards alright, and I like some of the inserts...but the vast majority of the inserts seem forced and rather boring.
Scoreboard:
1. 34.375 points: Jumbo Pack 1 (best cards: Daniel McCutchen When They Were Young Insert, Ozzie Smith Turkey Red)
2. 27.25 points: Jumbo Pack 5 (best cards: History of the Game Pirates World Series, Cincinnati Reds team card)
3. 26.875 points: Jumbo Pack 2 (best cards: Pittsburgh Pirates Franchise History, Ty Cobb Peak Performer)Wow, as I opened this pack up I wasn't overly impressed...but it ended up scoring as the second best pack thus far.
