First Round - Raleigh
East Region
#1 2007 Moments And Milestones Derek Jeter #3/10
This card was the big hit from an inexplicable Moments and Milestones pack ripping binge.
vs.
#16 1972 Topps Checklist
Whoever filled out this checklist was very similar to myself - meticulously filling in the squares completely, messing up on a couple and putting a little scribble next to the name to note the goof and having mostly lousy cards. The guy even had the Chris Chambliss rookie card.
#8 2002 Topps American Pie Statue of Liberty
This is one of the nicer non-sports cards in the now utterly forgotten American Pie sets.
vs.
#9 2002 Donruss Studio Paul Lo Duca Spirit of the Game
For some reason there were a whole lot of American Flags all over 2002 sets. Paul LoDuca wasn't on every card in 2002, but it seems that way to me.
Midwest Region
#7 1995 Gil Elvgren Prototype Fire Bell
I really really like this card, can ya tell? Anyone know where I can find a set of this stuff?
vs.
#10 1987 Classic Yellow Joe Niekro
To be fair, knuckleballers do need emery boards because their fingernails are very important in gripping the ball correctly. The sandpaper, Vaseline, exact-o knife and cordless belt sander were a bit of overkill, however.
#2 2008 Topps Heritage Eddie Mathews Relic
I didn't even know Eddie was in the set, let alone had a relic card. The fact that Don Newcombe gets a mention is an even more pleasant surprise.
vs.
#15 2003 Bowman Chrome Quincy Carter
Wasted Opportunity, thy name is Quincy Carter. Seriously guys, if you have to smoke the weed, wait till your damn career is over and you've made your money at least.
Final Scores:
Derek Jeter 0, Checklist 6
Statue of Liberty 5, Paul LoDuca 1
Gil Elvgren 5, Joe Niekro 1
Eddie Mathews 5, Quincy Carter 1

Mathews - HOF
im thinkin: 16, 8, 7, 2. just cant stand to see any yankees win this thing.
#16 Checklist. No matter how much I hate the stinking checklist, I love the '72 Topps set. Besides, a #1 seed in Raleigh smells too much like a Tar Heel to me. Go to H3-l Carolina, Go to H3-l!!
#9 Paul LoDuca shows his American patriotism properly looking at the flag instead of his feet. Lady Liberty seemed to quit playing hard partway through the game (Remember...she's a gift from France.)
#10 Joe Niekro gets past the pin-up girl with some controversial officiating.
#2 Eddie Mathews schools Carter in a rout.
