The 2011 Topps packs have been all over the board. A Series 2 pack brought home 16 points while a different Series 2 pack lost 16 points. The Series 1 packs (of which today's pack is the third of four Series 1 packs) have been decent so far (15 points for one, 14 for the other). Will today's pack finally eclipse the total of our current leader (2011 Allen & Ginter) with 19 points? Let's find out.
Pack Wars II - Pack 10:
2011 Topps - Series One (12 cards):
25. Carl Crawford - Rays
Crawford led his team to 50 points in his first high school game (as quarterback). +1
237. Jason Vargas - Mariners
I got nuthin' +0
263. Joel Pineiro - Angels
The Angels ought to be pretty good this year, right? At least Pineiro isn't a Cardinal in this card, +1
328. David Price - Checklist
I like having checklists in my set, but I'd rather they be true checklists instead of "fake" checklists where only one side can be marked off. It's a waste of card slots if you ask me. -2
95. Pedro Alvarez - Pirates
I've been giving Pirates cards a point or two throughout the Pack War, no reason to stop now I guess. +1
114. Russell Martin - Dodgers
A great photo if you ask me! +3
Topps 60: 4. Gary Carter - Mets
I have the full Topps 60 set complete - so this is up for trade (along with plenty of other 2011 Topps cards if you are interested). +2 for letting me plug my trade bait.
60 Years of Topps: 46. Mariano Rivera - Yankees
Yet another Yankee insert from Topps...ugh. -5
Topps Town: Buster Posey - Giants
I'm mad at Posey for knocking the Reds out of the playoffs. -5
227. Nate McLouth - Braves
McLouth didn't really seem to be the same player as he was for the Pirates once he got traded. +0
297. Jason Jaramillo - Pirates
Another Pirate, another +1
312. Gaby Sanchez - Marlins
Getting duplicate Marlins stinks, no one wants to trade for them. -2
Pack total: -5 points
Eesh! Our second negative scoring pack - but at least this one didn't accumulate double digit negative points. It's a small victory I guess.
