Tribecards from Colorado Springs: DBacks Steal the Pack

Hey everyone! Let's do a morning pack break since I am on vacation and all.  I've got a pack of 2012 Topps Update Series. 12 cards per pack.

Mark DeRosa - Nationals - Free Agent
Trevor Cahill - DBacks - Wicked4Life (Wahoo!!)
Jake Arrieta - Orioles - Free Agent
James Russell - Cubs - Free Agent
Chris Johnson - DBacks - Free Agent
Jason Hammel Blue Border - Orioles - Free Agent
Edgar Martinez Golden Moments - Mariners - Free Agent (?)
Joe Mauer - Twins - BSnider (Wahoo!!)
A.J. Pollock - DBacks - Free Agent
Jesus Montero - Yankees - Prowlingcat (Wahoo!!)
Rafael Furcal - Cardinals - E_Rose (Wahoo!!)

Remember, some of these may have been taken in the last draft but I haven't run that yet. Also, it seems odd that some of these are showing as free agents. As usual, I will double check to be sure.  On another note, this pack was loaded with DBacks. Last season's break would have netted that manager a slew of cards. Well, that is, if one considers 1/4 a pack to be a 'slew,' of course.

Will post pics later!

Tribecards from Colorado Springs: Ticket to Ride

Hey everyone! I have closed the 9th Free Agent draft, but I will not run the draft until I get back home from vacation.  We spent the day today riding the Cog to the summit of Pike's Peak and then toured the Garden of the Gods.

In the meantime, I bought a bunch of packs to keep us going through this week and beyond!

Here is a pack of 2010 Topps Ticket to Stardom. 8 cards per pack.

Jorge Cantu - Marlins - Free Agent
Cameron Maybin - Marlins - Free Agent
Josh Willingham - Nationals - Free Agent
Lance Berkman rippled edge - Astros - Samuel Pair (Wahoo!!)
Edinson Volquez - Reds - Free Agent
Ryan Freel - Royals - Free Agent
Justin Verlander - Tigers - Don Sherman (Wahoo!!)
Nick Markakis - Orioles - Free Agent

Congrats to the TWO managers who scored players out of this pack. I don't anything about these, so is the Berkman and insert/parallel or are some players just blessed with the "deckle edge."

Tribecards from Coors Field part 2
