At this time.
Cuz no one else is done with their boxes (to my knowledge).
So I will enjoy being #1 for the time being. Oh, and I suck at math. For the Howard I pulled in pack #13, I should have added +2. I only added +1. With that correction, I am starting the final 4 packs with a point total of 133 points.
Pack 21
Decent pack, points wise. Goldschmidt is a short print base. Nice mini from OBAANDW mini (I'm too lazy to type the whole thing out). I think those are one per box. Otherwise, we have a lot of set building in the pack.
Goldschmidt SP base = +2 points
Pastime's Pastimes = +2 points
Outlaws, Bandits, etc... mini = +3 points
Running total = 140 points
Pack 22
Another pack of base set filler, in regard to the GAC point sheet. The Carpenter is a nice throwback uniform card. Another high number card with Gonzalez, and the Masterson mini scores me extra points being an A&G back.
Gonzalez SP base = +2 points
Pastime's Pastimes = +2 points
Masterson A&G mini = +2 points
Running total = 146 points
Pack 23
I read somewhere the short print A&G back minis come one per box. In that case, here is my one. And a cool one two as a nice oddball card that A&G really needs to keep in the set. More please, Topps! Rienzo scores me a point for my favorite team. Which is good cuz he's not earning any points in the real world with me. Nice rocks on the Natural Wonder card. I see a turtle. Where's the lobster?
Rienzo favorite team = +1 point
Natural Wonder = +2 points
Barbed wire A&G SP mini = +6 points
Running total = 155 points
Pack 24
Well, as you can see, no bonus hit in the box. In fact, we end with a Yankee, just was we started. I pulled the Friedlander base. So I have the base, mini and relic. Trifecta! This ends up being my 2nd 1 point pack of the box as I only score because of the insert.
One Yankee = -1 point
Air Supremacy = +2 points
Running total = 156 points
FINAL TOTAL = 156 points
So there we have it. Grand total (barring any more screw ups on my part) of 156 points. In 2013, the lowest score was 174 points, so I am hoping the scoring is lower across the board. Otherwise my hopes to win are as desolate at the scene in pack 23.
FWIW, one of the other bloggers (can't remember now which) ended with 171.6, dang it. I still have 6 packs to bust (as of this comment), but I don't see pulling anywhere near that.
