Another duplicate box loader, this is an ominous beginning to the final box.

Rip Card:  RC62.  Giancarlo Stanton - Marlins #41/50

PHEW!  I have to admit to being really nervous that we got shorted our biggest case hit when I get well into box #12 without seeing a single rip card.  I can rest easy now - and AlfredoOrtega can get really excited.  He turned a relatively low entry fee (just the Marlins) into a rip card (and a ton of other cards of course).  It's nice that a team that didn't have diddly squat got the biggest hit right at the end, isn't it?

Reg. mini SP:  343.  Zack Greinke - Brewers

Well, I don't know about you but I'd say this box was a heckuva way to end the group break (and there's still half the box to go)!  We found our rip (finally) and a bunch of new minis to go along with it.  What will the final half hold?  For starters, we should have one more hit to go.  After that, it's anyone's guess.
