The Ultimate Ginter Mini Set Bracket: Round of 32 - Mythological Region Voting Opens Now!

We are halfway through the voting for the Round of 32 - only two more regions remain.  Let's get right back at it with the Mythological Region.

As before, I'll give a brief rundown of each of the various match-ups and then solicit your votes for the winner of each match-up down at the bottom of the post.  

2009 Creatures of Legend, Myth, & Terror vs. 2015 First Ladies

The Creatures of Legend, Myth, & Terror are clearly the favorites on this side of the bracket (#2 seed overall) and I don't expect that the 2015 First Ladies set will give the scary creatures much trouble.  While I personally applaud Topps for including an insert set all about women, the First Ladies set kind of gets lumped in with all of the other political sets (and I'm so sick of politics)!  For me, the choice for this particular vote is an easy one even if it means going with David over Goliath so to speak.

2007 World's Deadliest Snakes vs. 2015 Mythological Menaces

Now this is more like it!  While the first match-up in this region was a gimme, I don't think the Snakes vs. Menaces has a clear favorite.  Both of these sets are cool in their own right...and while I love the Snakes set I think I have to go with the Mythological Menaces as the winner here simply because I like that the backs of the Menaces cards actually talk about the subject (the backs of the Snakes cards are simply checklists).

2016 Ferocious Felines vs. 2010 National Animals

The battle of the animals!  Cat lovers will probably vote for the Ferocious Felines but even if I were a cat lover (I'm not since I'm mildly allergic to cats), I have to vote for the National Animals set as I think that is one of the best designed sets that Topps has ever produced.  

2013 Peacemakers vs. 2019 New to the Zoo

Baby animals or peaceful people?  I'm not sure which way this one will go since I still don't quite understand all of the love out there for the Peacekeepers set.  Based on set theme and design alone, I'd vote for the New to the Zoo set BUT I kind of hate retail only insert sets in Ginter which makes this a bit of a tougher choice for me.  Retail or not though, in the end I'm going with the Baby Shark (and the rest of the baby animals) over the peaceful folks.

And that does it for this region of the bracket.  Time to vote!

To vote, please copy the text below and then delete the set you don't want to win.  This will make it a lot easier for me to quickly tally the winners of each match-up.  I also encourage you to stump for your favorite sets (remember, there is a bracket prediction contest going on here as well).

Copy and paste the above text into the comment section and then simply delete the set you don't want to win each of the match-ups.  That should make voting quick and easy for both you and me!  Remember that comments, votes, and general contest participation will potentially earn you chances to win additional prizes in the contest (along with the bracket challenge of course)!  Vote now!
