Those cards are boring.........no mascots.
Yawn.
Adam Dunn fielding. Probably should have pictured him with the lumber.
You know you've got some boring photography when the best shot is a guy fielding a grounder...with two hands.
No mascots or inserts in the 2006 packs, eh? Oh well, they are bonus packs.
Would have thought I would have gotten a bonus point for my 'za of choice, as other contestants got a +1 for meat lovers.
Thanks for the contest again, Captain, and again I just want to confirm if you got my e-mail. I was expecting more bonus points, but maybe I interpreted the scoring wrong!
'06 Opening Day takes me back. I found so much of that stuff in repacks that year, I almost completed the entire set.
I love the blue foil (and the rarer red foil). If you're gonna have foil, make it colorful.
Crap. Shut out of Red Sox in my pack. At least I didn't get any negative points for yankees and I had fun looking up pictures for bonus points. (check your email again by the way...)
Gotta love the stubby gum!
What a wild and crazy game! the Braves earned that one!! The Phillies lost that game 4 times!!
Joe Saunders. Too bad it didn't work out Joe.
Poor Dodgerbobble, that bonus round was mean.
graet contest--thanks for hosting--it was fun
Wait... Furcal is throwing at Barry's huge noggin and the other four obligingly look the other way. I figured I'd get a few bonus points for that at least.
But I do have to admit I like the Bonds card. The pose is very Barry-esque don'tcha think?
This was fun, thanks.
no more bonus points for this post
So, was the gum consumed?
