I'll be putting together the Base Set, SPs included, as well as these inserts: Historical Turning Points, World's Greatest Military Leaders, and What's In A Name?. I don't anticipate working on any other sets beyond grabbing cards of the guys I collect, barring anything unforeseen. What I need from 2012 Ginter can be found here. My Base and SP needs will soon be added.
I had to check with the Commissioner on a scoring question, but everything should be to his liking based on the rules he has set forth. Gint-A-Cuffs IV is officially underway.

All of the above yields: 203. This blows my 2011 box of 186 points out of the water, and it's really cool to surpass 200 points.
Final Score: 203 points
I suppose the biggest disappointment of the box was not pulling anything Kate Upton, which saddens me.
Ok.
I'm not sad anymore.
You doing the set? 'Cause I could really use that Karolyi...
ReplyDeleteHey Greg,
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want that box topper I'm trying to put together the set. I only need 2 more and I have one set aside over at Play at the Plate and I do believe I need that Wild One and I'd be interested in the Grienke relic too. I'm out in the field till the end of the month, but I should be back in town by or before September 1st if you want to work up a trade?
Nice box...nicer looping clip.
ReplyDeleteJustin- I am indeed putting the set, SPs included, together. Sorry. But if I come across another Karolyi, it's yours.
ReplyDeleteMark- I shall set aside the coaster and Mr. Greinke for you. Hit me up when you return from the wilds of Alaska.
PATP- Haha, thanks bud. And nice box yourself, congrats on the five hits!
By the way guys and gals, not one double in the entire box. Kudos Topps!
ReplyDeleteWell, 4 hits and a no number mini.
ReplyDeleteI think someone is holding out on us. Someone who hasn't posted their box yet must have had a huge scoring box.
That no-# mini certainly scored like a hit haha. The scores have been much lower this year, that's for sure.
