Tribe-or-no-Tribe #7

This is the third box of cards I bought at lunch that I'm busting open for a round of Tribe-or-no-Tribe.  This is a box of 2010 Topps Series 2 from Wal-Mart (look for black background parallels, folks).

Here are the rules:

Trap cards = Reds (the *other* Ohio team) and the Braves (the *other* Native American-themed team)

+1/2 point is awarded for each card in the pack, unless card fits into the following:
+2 points are awarded for each relic or autographed card (only 1 point awarded for a relic or autographed trap card).
+1 point is awarded for any Thome card in a non-Indians uniform.
+2 points are given for each Indians card.

-1 point from the score for each trap card.
-1/2 point is deducted for each card featuring more than one team or no team at all.

*The Bench/Mauer card got dinged for being a multi-team card *and* for having a trap!
