The battle is heating up, here are our current standings:
Current Standings:
Target 1: 9 points
Walmart: 3 points
Target 2: 2 point
With only a seven point spread from first to worst, any of the three blasters still has a decent shot to take home the crown. It's time for the third (of seven) packs from each box.
As usual, I'll start with the last place blaster.
Target 2:
7. Rick Porcello
149. Anthony Rendon
177. Jeurys Familia
209. Kevin Gausman
247. Richard Urena
279 Keon Broxton
I can't say that there is a single card in that pack that interests me - but at least I needed each card still for my set. Other than that, there's nothing to report here. Oh wait, what's in the corner of that Gausman? Yeah, that's a GQ Logo Swap card (seeded 1:29 points) which means it's worth 14 points for the purposes of this little contest. Of course, I have to subtract 4 points from that total because the Orioles are another virtually untradeable team these days.
Pack total: 10 points
Total so far: 12 points
Walmart:
24. Byron Buxton
60. Stephen Piscotty
94. Nick Markakis
134. Marcell Ozuna
135. Addison Russell
278. Javier Baez
The Buxton and Baez are both nice enough images (+1 each) but then this pack gets hammered for having two Cubs (-4), a Cardinal (-2), and a yet another Twin (-1).
Pack total: 1 + 1 - 4 - 2 - 1 = -5
Total so far: -2 points
Target 1:
46. Adam Duvall
123. Alex Bregman
171. Tzu-Wei Lin
261. Dexter Fowler
286. Jake Lamb
304. George Brett
Alright, our first Reds card from any blaster. Easy +5 points for that! I give +3 to the Bregman since I like the Astros quite a bit but -2 to the Fowler because I really dislike St. Louis. Finally, that George Brett is one of the short prints in the set (seeded 1:48 packs) making it worth 24 points!
Pack total: 5 + 3 - 2 + 24 = 30 points
Total so far: 39 points
Current Standings:
Target 1: 39 points
Target 2: 12 points
Walmart: -2 points
Wow, the Target 1 blaster keeps bringing the heat! A Reds card (our first from any blaster) plus the nice short print boosted their score considerably. Still, Target 2 is within striking range - especially if they too produce some sort of fairly rare card. As for the Walmart blaster...well, the less said the better right now.

I really like the colorfulness of this year's design.
