#PADCircus - The Last Packs, sorta

Hello, everyone! Today, I am opening the last packs we have. Well, not exactly. I am busting the remaining non-91 Upper Deck packs. I still have a bunch of 91 UD packs, but I will bust those open offline and dole out cards accordingly.

The free agents revealed today and over the past couple days will be put into a third draft. I know that doesn't quite give everyone a "No Skunk" draft. So, the remaining managers who do not get a chance for a no-skunk draft will get bonus cards/prizes as compensation. Hopefully, next time I'll have much better planning and consistency. But, we'll save the future of PADCircus for another post.

Let's rip some wax!

Wow! There you have it, folks! Those were the last "online" packs to be busted for this year's Pack-A-Daily Circus! I will sort out the free agents and provide the draft to managers.

Thanks to everyone that played along this year! I know my posting was sporadic at best throughout the season, but I was given a LOT of much-needed encouragement from you. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your kind words (and sometimes a swift kick in the butt when needed).

I will be sorting cards from this season, last season, and I still have oversized cards to sort through from 2013's "From Outer Space" giveaway! WHAT!? Crazy, man. Those will ALL be divided and sent out to the respective managers.

I am planning to run the OOTP game for this year, but that will be coming a bit later - most likely starting up around Thanksgiving break. That should be a fun off-season project.

One last thought: When your hobby begins to feel like work, it's time to make some changes. Basically, that's what happened this season: my fun hobby turned into work and it lost its luster for me. In fact, I had written a "Tribecards Farewell" post to be run on Bob Feller's birthday coming up soon. But, I had some encouragement from my son and a few of you (without you even knowing it) and I realized that I still love doing this. I just need to tweak a few things. One tweak I made this season was not killing myself to post. I know that drove some of you batty, but if my heart wasn't in it, I didn't post. Those of you that are bloggers know that not posting is a slippery, easy slope to ride. So, I will find a balance for next season where it is a more regular schedule, but perhaps not a daily one. I dunno, by next season, I may ready for dailies. I still have tweaks in the drafting/management side of things because some players still manage to slip through the cracks or get lost from week-to-week and I don't know how that is happening.

Sorry for the digression.

I mainly want to say THANK YOU to each of you that read along, played along, and donated packs and/or money. I am always amazed at the support and kinship our hobby brings!

Multiday Suspension for #PackADailyCircus


I will be in Minnesota for a week, so no pack openings his week. I also managed to open a LOT fewer packs last week than planned, but we'll make up for that once I am back in the driver's seat.

I hope everyone enjoys their week, and thank you for stopping by to see what's been happening!

Thanks,
--David (Tribecards)
