Bo picked a pack with no team logos. The stickers stuck on this one were likely meant to label a box full of Rookies of the Year. Why anyone would have a box full of corrected cards I don't know.
Manufacturer: Topps - 10 cards for 10 points
Not much to say about these.Year: 1988 - 4 cards for 20 points
1988 is a pretty choice year for worthless pack filling junk wax. If I was playing, I'd probably go with 1991. Five manufacturers, horribly overproduced, and Leaf, Stadium Club and Ultra were around to add more ballast for the year. Team: Yankees - 2 cards for 20 points
The Razor card is kind of interesting. Apparently Chris Smith is one of Razor's exclusive prospects. He's a Yankees prospect so they'll probably trade him soon enough. Unless he's really good, then they'll dick around with him for a few years and keep him trapped behind some overpriced free agent until his career is well and truly trainwrecked. There was a second Yankee, but you'll see him later.Sport: Football - 0 points
Despite choosing the thickest pack in the contest, there was not a single non-baseball sport card in there at all.
Player: Wade Boggs - 0 cards
No Boggs, but there was a Kevin Seitzer in there.
Weirdness: Checklists - 0 cards
Anyone who opened even a single solitary pack of Topps from 2006-2008 knows why this is the worst card.
Two packs, two relics. Don't get used to this. This card shows Cabrera in a Marlins uni but is a Tiger according to the card. The swatch is a little off center too. Still, Cabrera is pretty good (even when he boozes it up before a big game) and the next best card in the pack is probably a 1992 Donruss Juan Gonzalez.
Weirdness: Checklists - 0 cards
No weirdness in the pack either. Bo started off so well too.
Total Points: 50

I never thought I'd say this but - I hope I stay in the toilet!
