 A lot of neat pulls in the group. Of course, the Zambrano was *the* pull here.  Do I wish I had left it unRIPped?  Nah.  But I do want to know the odds of pulling certain special rip-only players.  Are the actual rip minis have lower odds than the rip cards that house them? You would think they'd have to have lower odds of popping up.

I will post a single post with all scored finds with a final tally.  That post will appear after my next one: Packs 17-24...

  2. Yes, very jealous of the rip card... I would have ripped Zambrano too. Those still sell for big bucks even ripped. The extended minis are pretty great too. Duane from Democratic Roadkill collectes them... Nice rips!
