Heya! First of all, I have corrected the first card from the last post - it was a Phillies player. I have no idea why I picked the Braves for that card.
Okay, let me see what we're ripping tonight:
How about 2015 Bowman:
Yimi Garcia - Dodgers - Night Owl (Wahoo!!)
CC Sabathia - Yankees - Bo Rosny (Wahoo!!)
Evan Longoria - Rays - TSHenson (Wahoo!!)
Domingo German Chrome - Marlins - Bo Rosny (Wahoo!!)
Joe Ross Chrome - Padres - Marcus (Wahoo!!)
Carlos Correa - Astros - RAZ (Wahoo!!)
Luis Severino - Yankees - Bo Rosny (Wahoo!! x2)
Braxton Davidson Mini Refractor farm's Finest - Braves - Jafronius (Wahoo!!)
Tim Cooney - Cardinals - Wilson (Wahoo!!)
Troy Tulowitzki - Rockies - Infield Fly Rule (Wahoo!!)
Wow, congrats to Bo for pulling three cards from the pack! Super congrats to Jafronius who ended up with a VERY cool mini card! Guess that might make up for me taking away his non-Brave in the last pack, eh. And, congrats to everyone that pulled some cardboard from this pack,

PAD Circus - Packs 183-186; GAC Packs 22-25 - END OF WATCH
We have come to the end of the road. Our Gint-a-Cuffs journey ends tonight. We've managed to pull a couple of very cool hits, but they are Yankees, so we suffer the wrath of our dear commissioner, who has a hatred for the team so deep he chopped our hit point in half for each of those.
It has been a road of very few Indians cards thus far - two, in fact. It has been a way paved with comedians, sportscasters, ball players, and oddities. We reach into the box for one last night of 2016 Allen and Ginter Hobby Box breakage. Good luck. Everyone.

WHAT??? We've already pulled a mini auto, a rip card, and a relic... Here is ANOTHER relic! Wow!! Unfortunately, it's a Yankee, so we get penalized in GAC, but Bo Rosny takes TWO hits from the box! That is awesome!! BTW, if you are wondering, Bo opted to keep the rip card unripped, so only he will know what is inside should he decide to rip it open.
GAC Running Total: +94.5 - we may hit 100 yet! Sad. Very, very sad, actually.

PAD Circus - Packs 166-170 - (GAC 05-09)
Let's rip some more Gint-a-Cuffs! So far, we have +14 points. Things are not looking good.

Sonny Gray - A's - dayf (Wahoo!!) - GAC:+0
Roberto Clemente - Pirates - Brian C (Wahoo!!) - GAC:+0
Pack Total: +1; GAC Total: +15
I actually thought we had pulled another "hit" because the Natural Wonders card looks like a framed item. Ah well. At least FDNY managed to snag two cards from this one pack!
GAC Pack 06:
Jay Bruce - Reds - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!!) - GAC:+0

Pack Total: +3; GAC Total: +22
Congrats to Bo for knocking us down a point due to the "Yankees Rule." We did pull a couple of free agents. Evidently, this box is the "comedian" box. Somehow, that seems all too fitting for me...

This is one of the worst starts I've had for Gint-A-Cuffs, I believe. It is certainly shaping up to be a dud of a box. We shall see. In the mean time, congrats to Buckstore Cards for pulling two Mets and to everyone else that grabbed cards from this pack.

PAD Circus - Pack 161 - Teasing Gint-A-Cuffs, Banks-ing on Memories
The box waits patiently, wrapped in cellophane. Inside are treasures yet unknown. The anticipation builds as PAD Circus managers and readers eagerly wait for the posts to start coming...
It. Is. Coming...
Managers also rest on the edge of their seats to find out which categories were awarded to whom in the latest free agent draft. That, too, is coming... (Er, yeah, the commish is a bean-head and forgot to run the draft, so... Hopefully Tuesday evening!)
Faced with an entire hobby box of Allen and Ginter, a pack of 2013 Goodwin Champions leaps forth to be busted open:
Dave Schultz - Hockey - Hockeykazi (Wahoo!!)
Archie Griffin - Football - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!)
Ernie Banks Mini - Cubs - Sons of Diagoras (Wahoo!!)
Fred Lynn - Red Sox - Thoughts & Sox (Wahoo!!)
Wow!! Congrats, folks! That Banks mini is fantastic! Still one of my greatest moments - eating supper at the table next to Ernie Banks then shaking hands with him afterward as he waited for his car to pull around. I can tell my grand kids I shook hands with one of the best baseball players, and human beings, to have ever played.
