After one-quarter of the packs busted, everybody is progressing nicely.  Two hits have been found so far (one went to the Mariners) the other will be randomed off to any participants who didn't get a hit at the end.  The insert totals include short prints - and those totals should climb considerably once I start busting more packs of the Collector's Choice box.  The big "winners" so far are the Mariners with the relic hit and probably the "Expansionists" with almost 40 cards already - though the latter was expected given the number of teams included in that grouping.  Hopefully everyone is having fun following along with each pack - there are plenty more promised hits and tons of packs still remaining!  Stay tuned for more...
