Sicilian or not still a Yankee -1 (+133)

Another Yankee! -1 (+132)

Come on this isn't just, a Yankee hot pack! -1 (+131)

WOW this pack was lousy and netted me one point +131

Pack #16.

Yu get me FP +2 (+133)

I knew my luck would run out and it dud, I am mean did. Whopping 3 points for pack 16

Gint-A-Cuffs Packs 13 & 14

Past the tipping point Pack 13.

I think we all know what card will be my favorite, YADI! I love this view of him. He may come back this year or he may not. The boys have no offense and could use him.He nets me 1 for FT and 4 for FP (please some one let me know if this is incorrect) points (+116).

Must be a Cardinals' hot pack! Too bad they haven't been ab;e to use him the last two games, but Rosie gets me another FT point +1 (+117).

Festivals and Fairs Day of the Dead +2 (+119)

                                    Pastime's Pastimes Beltre nets me another 2 points (+121).

Mini World's Deadliest Predators Lonomia +3 (+124)

Good scoring for this pack-a total of 13 points for pack 13.

Pack 14. 

Natural Wonder Insert of some cool boulders +2 (+126)

Waino! Waino! Pastimes-he is a philanthropist too. He runs a fantasy football league with other MLB players and civilians for charity +3 for insert and FT (+129)

Another Cardinals' hot pack! I know the card gods will curse me with a balance of Yankees. FT +1 (+130)

Another good pack for scoring-but alas since I don't have any more hits left according to the 3 hits per box I am going to need to keep scoring high on the packs are no way I can win. Pack #14 nets me 6 points.

Gint-A-Cuffs Packs 11 & 12

At the end of this we will be half way-posting this is funner than watching has been Masterson pitch the birds to a horrific loss.

Pack 11.

Though he is a Red I like him, and he is a short print +2 (+93).

A hit, a hit! Oh yeah, everyone gets a hit or two, or three. +8 (+101)

This is all for pack 11. Why can't I get a relic, or another hit of a player i really like?

Pack 12.

I liked him better when he was a Tiger, Short Print Mini +3 (+104). 

A Pastime Longoria-don't care what his pastime is-see my previous posting for cool arse pastimes. +2 (+106)

Another Insert World's Capitals Taipei +2 (+108)

Last but not least another Cardinal FT after a long drought +1 (+107). I remember the Brockabrella and Brockapop.

I do Have one of these

         

                                                               

Gint-A-Cuffs Packs 9 & 10

Almost half way there.

Pack 9.

Another horizontal card which I am loving. John Smolz was an ex-Cardinal. Short Print +2 (+51).

Great start, what is next? Crap a Yankee, yeah I like 'em but still a minus 1 for Paul O'Neill (+50)

Well this is a good rebound The Crime dog gives me +3 for a black mini (+53) 

A whopping 4 points for this pack!

Pack 10. Can a brother get a break?

Another D@&M Yankee -1 (+52). 

A veteran Philly that IS having a great season Utley Black Mini +3 (+55)

A good insert, Newsworthy Polar Vortex +2 (+57)

Another hit-this time a framed Version B relic of Freddy Freeman. I like this guy as a player. So the relic is worth 20 points, but he is a favorite player so this would be X1,7 for a plus 34 (+91). A seriously good way to end the pack.

Before there was A&G Pastimes Pastimes there was Pinnacle Sidelines

I found this card sorting through some "Junk Wax" and I fell in love with this subset from 1992 Pinnacle.

Here are a bunch more-though the design isn't as good as the A&G inserts the pastimes are far more interesting, perhaps because the contracts were more reasonable and they had no reason to try to give their money away.

Gint-A-Cuffs Packs 7 & 8

I read that Nachos Grande is killing and he also did a great job of calculating scoring in GAF. Please read here Nacho's GAF scoring breakdown.

Pack 7 it is.

Right off the bat a Yankee, the Iron Horse -1 (+38).

Not a good start, Fields of Yore Shea Stadium, Why couldn't I get Sportsman's Park! Still worth 2 points (+40). 

A few more points are gathered from Gary Sheffield Mini A&G +2 (+42) which is also the last point card in a lackluster pack.

Pack 8.

Great card here-love the horizontal format. David Wright FP +2 (+44).

Like others I really like the inserts-and I love war planes too Air Supremacy V-22 Osprey +2 (+46)

Last point card is a former Cardinal and one our favorite players Allen "Cal" Craig Pastimes, should be a bonus for having an undergraduate degree in Social Work, FT bonus +3 (+49).

Gint-A-Cuffs Packs 5 & 6

I hope that I at least don't get embarrassed  by my box. Can you take a mulligan box?

Pack 5.

A Cardinal right off the bat.

Though he has been a disappointment this year he will still get me +1 for FT. (+31).

Don Sutton A&G MIni +2, should be an extra point for his fro. (+33).

I didn't like him when he was a Met, but he lives outside of the STL and does good work. Strawberry SP +2 (+35). 

Like this guy too, "Two low down Gs going crazy" -1, (+34)

Pack 6.

Let us finish on a high note. Pretty cool card but still a Yankee -1 (+33) 

Pedro "Cardinal Killer" Alvarez SP +2 (+35).

Little Lions Sphynx Mini insert. +3 (+38).

I wasn't always a cat person, but I fell I love with my wife's cat when we began dating. He is long gone and one cat later we now have Jasper 

and Poppy

and to wrap up pack 6 we have a much improved FT Wong +1 (+39)
