Much better scores on these packs. Will it be enough to take the lead? That Nick Johnson card was the craziest one yet! Not only was it red, and a short print, it was also an ad back AND a Yankee. Without the 50% Yankee deduction, my overall points lead may have been significant. Let's see what Captain Cleveland has to fire back with.

FYI: Red parallels of short prints are not in fact short printed themselves. I got doubles of both A-Rod short prints in the red parallel and the red cards fill up about half of the SPs in my set.
ReplyDeleteIt probably doesn't mean anything as far as the rules are concerned, but I just wanted to throw that out there.
I'm no Pirates fan, but that Wilson looks good with the black border. However, Mark Grudzielanek must be totally embarrassed they chose to use his give up swing and a miss pose.
ReplyDeleteWhat Dayf said.
ReplyDeleteI'm cool with scoring it either way. We can count all of the variations as SPs or just the base cards. Either way that was a hell of a pack.
This is getting interesting. I have a feeling I have some crappy packs coming up. (I'm not kidding. I'm about to bust my next 4 before I hit the sack.)
I have adjusted my scoring accordingly. If the Commish says that's how it is, then that's how it is. I respect the Commish's authority.
ReplyDeleteScratcher- Here's hoping you do have some craptastic packs coming up. I've got a few that are solid, and could use to gain a lil ground.
