Time for the grand finale of box numero uno. Talk around the blogosphere is that I’ve already won this thing, and I am here to say that talk is premature. Remember. there’s still a looooooong way to go in this thing, and with everyone buying this stuff by the caseload, someone is bound to bust a box that is even more of a mutant freak than this one was. All it takes is a favorite player rip card or printing plate, and this thing is O-V-E-R.
And besides, how do you know my second box isn’t even better than this one? Would I even bother to post it if it weren’t? Only time will tell.

I think since you had 25 packs we should randomly choose to throw one out as it’s an unfair advantage! 🙂
Sadly, the Commish may actually agree with you.
I put your packs into a random number generator and it chose to remove 14 of your 10+ points packs. Tough luck, man.
The good news is you’re still ahead of us by like 20 points. And Night Owl by 80.

My first gint-a-cuffs box ended up giving your mutant box a run for its money (thanks to a pair of mutant packs in my own box). Long live Topps collation problems eh? It’s fun when it works in your favor…not so much fun when it doesn’t.
