LL-55. Rickey Henderson & B.J. Upton (+2)
CMT116. Rick Procello (+2, seriously though, if your mom threw out your 2009 Topps you probably shouldn't be spending your money on 2010 Topps.)
Topps Attax: Matt Kemp (+1)
Cobb's Pack Score: +5
That's the lowest (expected) score a pack can have...Blah.

Somehow, Pedroia did worse than Cobb despite having a ten point insert card.
Pack 02 - Ruth:
349. Felix Pie
456. Clayton Richard
470. New York Yankees (-10, lots 'o Yankees on this one)

Topps Attax: Lance Berkman (+1)
Ruth's Pack Score: -5
The first three packs from this round have all been rather crappy.
Pack 02 - Mantle
352. Cameron Maybin
365. Logan Ondrusek (+10, a Red finally! The first time Ondrusek was called up to the Reds big league team, he was so bad I referred to him as Ondrusucky. Luckily, he's been a bit better since that first call up.)
445. Miguel Olivo
554. Ramon Hernandez (+10, wow, two Reds in one pack)
562. Carlos Quentin
589. Edinson Volquez (+10, well, this pack makes up for the total lack of Reds in the box!)
624. Carlos Beltran
CMT99. Cal Ripken (+2)
VLC12. Jackie Robinson (+2)
Topps Attax: Josh Johnson (+1)
Mantle's Pack Score: +35
By using the power of three different Reds cards, Mantle crushes the competition this round...and opens up a huge lead over second place Pedroia heading into the final pack for each player!
Leaderboard (after 4 packs - # of packs won in parenthesis):
Mantle: +120.38 (2 wins)
Pedroia: +76.2 (2 wins)
Ruth: +56.2 (1 win)
Cobb: +50.48 (3 wins)
