Alright. It's the moment you've all been waiting for. Will I, or will I not beat the pants off the Bearded Wonder in this here Gint-A-Cuffs? You'll have to read this post to find out.
Or, I suppose you could just scroll down to see. That would be easy enough. It's probably what I do.
Pack 21:
#275 Vladimir Guerrero
#274 Josh Hamilton - Favorite Player List +2 - Hey, did you know that Josh used to do drugs but turned his life around? He's got a bunch of tattoos and he regrets every single one of them. Yup. Every one. Just ask Joe Buck. (This was in no way supposed to make fun of Josh or make light of his addiction. This was to make fun of Joe Buck and his annoying pontificating.)

#290 Cat Osterman - No points here, but I figured it would be OK to scan and post this anyway. Here is the card of a 6'3" gold medal winner named Cat. That has to go up on this blog. Or, to put it another way: "Oh Ms. Osterman, you're a little monkey woman. Yeah, you're lean, mean, and I bet you're not too far in between are ya. How'd you like to wrap your spikes around my..."

Conclusions: Too bad. Not quite enough in the tank to pull this one out. Before Beardy pulled that incredible 347 this would have been a pretty tight race.
Then again, for all I know there are better scores out there. I'm going to start to record everyone's breaks for the prospectus.
This set really is fantastic. I'd considered doing the 2008 or 2007 A&G set because I thought the old wax might be better and more affordable, but I'm glad I got this. I may even pick up a few more of these, and that doesn't mean I can't open some of those others as well. Then again, Chrome should be out shortly (If it's not already. I'm terrible at keeping up with this stuff).
And, I have another box ready to go, unripped. I'll be perfectly honest with you. This unopened box. It's speaking to me. It's barely a whisper but I can here it.
It's saying.........388
