Here we are again - ready to open another pack. Thus far, there are a bunch of teams doing quite well - but where there are winners, there are losers. The losers so far include: Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Colorado Rockies who are all getting shut out thus far in terms of cards! There are also a bunch of teams (including my Reds) with only a single base card to their name. Of course, it's not all doom and gloom since the current pack marks the one-third mark of the box...there's plenty of time for a loser to turn into a winner!
Box 1 - Pack 8:
47. Jimmy Rollins - Phillies
And wouldn't you know it - just like that the Phillies are on the board. We are down to three losers...
122. Derrek Lee - Orioles
132. David Murphy - Rangers
148. Carlos Quentin - White Sox
168. Alex Gordon - Royals
189. Mike Aviles - Royals
297. Grady Sizemore - Indians
For the second time this pack, a previously shut-out team gets a notch in the card column.
Regular mini:
96. Ubaldo Jimenez - Rockies
Wow! Three of the four teams with no cards ended up with a card in this pack. Just think, if I had opened the packs in a different order this particular phenomenon may never have happened. At this point, only the Cubs are without any type of card...and I can spoil the secret right now - they will still be without at least one card when this pack is over...
Framed Paper - Bronze:
Duke Snider - Dodgers (#ed 201/999)
I could only laugh when I opened this pack and saw it was yet another Dodger! I will say, however, that this card is gorgeous! The scan doesn't do it justice - Ryan G. will definitely enjoy it once it arrives in the mail.
Home Run Heroes:
HH5. Carlos Pena - Rays
I think of all the inserts I've seen so far, the Home Run Heroes are the least impressive. Maybe it's the green border or something, but for whatever reason I like the other insert sets better. That being said, this is still a nice card - and it's probably fun for Rays fans to see Pena do so terrible for his new team...even if his struggles are currently hurting one of my fantasy teams immensely!
