Notice anything funny about pack 16? Yeah... I got shorted a card. Topps doesn't seem to have done the best job with quality control. I wonder if it has to do with Ginter coming out a few weeks earlier than usual?

Regardless of being shorted a card, these packs were pretty strong. The cloth card is gorgeous! Too bad it's of Delmon Young. The Kershaw base card is really nice looking, and is my nomination for card of the year... at least base card of the year.

  1. The Kershaw card is fantastic. I did not pull it, which PISSES ME OFF. I think your box is already beating the snot out of mine.(Yeah, that's some foreshadowing there).

  2. This box has to be the pace setter at this point. I think 2 of the 3 highest scoring cards so far have come out of it. You weren't kidding when you said it was an awesome box.

  3. tearing it up Beardy... that Kershaw card is quite nice looking but I might have to say that Lincecum card is better though...I like the action shot base cards (no bias here whatsoever) The Pujols base is also pretty awesome looking. We will finally be opening up our boxes tomorrow...and hopefully giving you a run for your money.
