277 Regis Philbin
231 Travis Snider

18 Jose Lopez
348 Asdrubal Cabrera +2
11 Wade Davis BASE MINI ZOMG
TDH47 Brandon Phillips TDIH +1

I know, this post has taken me forever. I probably missed the deadline for Gint-A-Cuffs with my procrastination. I couldn't help it, every time I started to write the post Regis stared up at me and peered into my soul. In his eyes I could hear him say "Nice post BUT IS THAT YER FINAL ANSWER???" No! It's not my final answer! I don't know what to write it's toomuchpressure. Dammit, why couldn't Topps have done a card of Merv Griffin instead.

Oh looky, a base mini card. Woo. Does it make the FrankenSet?

NO

A 2006 mini of Ramon Hernandez stays in the binder.


Pack 18:
297 Isaac "Fabulous" Newton
165 Nick "Enigma" Jacoby +1
139 Miguel "Drunky" Cabrera
101 Mark "Houdini" Buehrle
7 Ryan "Gimpy" Howard +1
343 Brad "DL" Penny SP +2
144 Stewart "Oh God my ears are bleeding why does he keep saying booyah oh please make IT STOP" Scott mini black border
TDH44 BJ "Heh heh... BJ" Upton TDIH +1


Oh goody. A black border card of a caricature. He better not make the FrankenSet.


YES

Empty spot in the binder! FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU


Pack 19:
254 Rich Harden
264 Captain Nemo
87 Carl Crawford +1
113 Billy Butler
2 Evereth Cabrera
39 Josh Johnson
171 Michael Young +1
137 Ryan Zimmerman
MM9 Apatosaurus +3
TDH56 Jimmy Rollins TDIH +1

Yep that was a 10 card pack. When I was opening the box this thick pack gave me visions of Rip Cards and Cut autos and crazy thick relics dancing in my head. Instead I got a couple extra base cards. Le sigh. the dino card is nifty though. And how is Michael Young a favorite player and Albert Pujols not?? Crazy game, this Ginter.

Pack 20:
121 Francisco Rodriguez
112 Tyler Bradt
184 Jake Peavy
249 Alfonso Soriano
177 Pedro Feliz
324 Randy Winn +2 -1
222 Gary Gentry RC mini
TDH46 Yovani Gallardo TDIH +1

These packs suuuuuuuuuucked. At least I got three SPs and a couple of base mini rookies. Just not the base mini rookie everyone else wants. So does this one make the FrankenSet?

I DON'T KNOW

I forgot to check this one before writing the post. Do you really care?

Ok time to wrap this up.

Most interesting non-scoring card:

Tyler Bradt


I know, I thought it would be Captain Nemo too. A fictional submarine captain doesn't beat a real live person who goes over waterfalls in a kayak though. Sure, I could have chosen Newton, but I used him for a pimp joke up at the top already. Seriously, kayak, waterfall, sploosh. Holy crap.

Most interesting This date in History:


The Treaty of Versailles: The treaty that ended one great war and directly caused a second great war. Appropriate that a peace treaty be on a Brandon Phillips card. What he said was shocking, just shocking. HOW CAN YOU HATE ANYTHING WORSE THAN THE CUBS, BRANDON??? This is madness!


Gint-A-Cuffs total:
Box Topper: 8 points
Pack 1: ???
Pack 2: 3 points
Pack 3: 15 points
Pack 4: 8 points
Pack 5: 3 points
Pack 6: 7 points
Pack 7: 4 points
Pack 8: 10 points
Pack 9: 3 points
Pack 10: bupkis
Pack 11: 7 points
Pack 12: 7 points
Pack 13: ???
Pack 14: ???
Pack 15: ???
Pack 16: ???
Pack 17: 3 points
Pack 18: 5 points
Pack 19: 6 points
Pack 20: 2 points

TOTAL: 91 points + Pack 1, 13, 14, 15, 16's points

Does it really even matter if I add up the rest of the points?? Is there a consolation prize for last place?

Anyone who has ever watched two seconds of sportscenter knows that Stuart Scott's eyes do not look in the same direction. Boo Topps boo!
