PAD Circus - 005 - Want Chipz with that Philly?

Howdy, everyone! Today is Day 5 of the PAD Circus giveaway. Wahoo!! To give you a heads up, I have been keeping track of how many cards each manager gets throughout the season. I will post that after the first Free Agent Draft and it will be updated as I bust open packs. I think it will be fun to see which team/category ends up with the most (and least) cards. I should probably turn that into a contest of some kind. Well, since we've already started, I suppose it is a bit late for such things.

So, we will open a pack or two instead!

2014 Goodwin Champions (the THINNEST pack I think I've ever opened):
Bob Horner - Atlanta Braves - Jafronius (Wahoo!!)
Bill Walton Mini - "Basketball" - FREE AGENT
Grant Wood - "Painter" - FREE AGENT
Mike Richter - "Hockey" - FREE AGENT

Wow! Congrats to Jafronius for pulling the only baseball/drafted card out of the pack! The other cards will head to the Free Agent Draft.

Next up, 2013 MLB Chipz
Playmat - "Filler" - FREE AGENT
Robinson Cano - Yankees - BoRosny (Wahoo!!)
David Wright - Mets - Buckstore Cards (Wahoo!!)
Adrian Beltre Glow-in-the-Dark - Rangers - Play at the Plate (Wahoo!!)
Jonathan Papelbon - Phillies - Dawgbones (Wahoo!!)
Phillies Vinyl Sticker - Phillies - Dawgbones (Wahoo!! x2 Back-to-Back!!)

Congratulations, managers! The folks that pull the vinyl sticker always get a "x2" and a "Back-to-Back," which serves as a nice bonus!

PAD Circus - 004 - Another Three-Fer!? Stack of Wax!

Hello, everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the second day of the MLB season. As the professional teams get their motors running, we are also headed out, continuing our quest for more cardboard.

Today, we've got 2013 Pinnacle (No, I have no rhyme or reason why so many of these are from 2013)

Adrian Beltre - Rangers - Play at the Plate (Wahoo!!)
Zack Greinke - Dodgers - Night Owl (Wahoo!!)
Andrew Werner - A's - Dayf (Wahoo!!)
David Lough - Royals - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!)
Pete Rose Hit King 4192 - Reds - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!!)
Aroldis Chapman - Reds - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!! x2, Back-to-Back!!)
Shin-Soo Choo - Reds - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!! x3, Back-to-Back-to-Back!!!)
Ryan Zimmerman - Nationals - CaptKirk42 (Wahoo!!)

What the heck!? Yet another 3-bagger for a lucky manager! It's crazy how many of these have so many players from the same team in the same pack. There is surely some weird collation going on.  Welp, Congrats to Nachos Grande and to the other managers who snagged some cardboard here today!

PAD Circus - 003 - USA Crusader

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Day Three! Wahoo!! Okay, so the weather may have gotten the best of the Tribe on their opener, we are more than ready to warm up to another pack of cards. Today, I have 2015 Panini Stars and Stripes Longevity. Since these are "Team USA" cards, I will attempt to match the player with the pro team they were first drafted. If I cannot figure it out, then.. umm.. I'll make something up.

Royce Lewis Longevity - "Brewers" - Jacksonville Jobu (Wahoo!!)
Nick Travieso Longevity - Reds - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!!)
Matt Chapman Longevity - A's - Dayf (Wahoo!!)
Trey Killian Crusade - Rockies - Infield Fly Rule (Wahoo!!)
Kolby Allard - Braves - Jafronius (Wahoo!!)

Well, that took a bit of searching, but we managed to assign each of these guys to a team and manager!

I had not seen these cards (that I recall), so this was even more fun to bust open. The foil cards are very cool, but that Crusade card is a beauty for sure. Congrats to everyone grabbing one of these today!

PAD Circus - 002 - Pulling three cards for managers...TWICE!

Good evening (or morning or afternoon, depending on what time it is when you read this where you are)! We're back with a couple packs on the OFFICIAL Opening Day of the MLB season. Let's see what goodies we can pull today:

Wow! Congrats to Buckstore Cards for getting THREE cards out of this pack! Congrats to everyone else pulling cards here, too!

Remember, all multi-player cards will be randomly and instantly given to one of the managers that owns the team/category. In this case, Buckstore Cards was chosen randomly.

PAD Circus - 001 - Opening Day Weekend!! Wahoo!!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the official kickoff of the 2016 Pack-A-Daily Circus!! Wahoo!! First of all, I want to remind everyone that we are starting the season with a FREE AGENT. That's right, the Florida Marlins were not picked up during the off season, so they will be offered up as a free agent in the first draft (which will come later).

Also remember: ALL Free Agent Drafts will be open to *ANY* of my readers - including managers that already have teams or anyone that missed out on the initial picks! I will post a link to each draft and anyone can drop by and choose to take part. If you draft a team, person, category, etc, you will get ALL the cards that belong to it. Ex: If you end up drafting the Marlins, you will get ALL the Marlins cards busted during the season.

Let's recap the first pack we opened during pre-season, now with managers:

Jonathan Schoop - Orioles - Pedersejs (Wahoo!!)
Edinson Volquez - Royals - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!)
Shelby Miller - Braves - Jafronius (Wahoo!!)
Mike Moustakas WS Highlights - Royals - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!! x2)
Carlos Carrasco Future Stars - Indians - Enamel Rods (Wahoo!!)

Doug Fister - Nationals - CaptKirk42 (Wahoo!!)

Giants Magic Beans - Giants - Arpsmith (Wahoo!!)

Tommy Kahnle - Rockies - Infield Fly Rule (Wahoo!!)

Brad Ziegler - Diamonbacks - Alec (Wahoo!!)

Washington Nationals Team Card - Nationals - CaptKirk42 (Wahoo!! x2)

Kyle Lohse - Brewers - Jacksonville Jobu (Wahoo!!)
Matt Cain - Giants - Arpsmith (Wahoo!! x2)
Bill Withers First Pitch - FREE AGENT ("Singers")
Joaquin Benoit Purple - Padres - Marcus (Wahoo!!)
Aaron Harang Purple - Phillies - Dawgbones (Wahoo!!)
Giancarlo Stanton Purple - Marlins - FREE AGENT ("Marlins")

I had forgotten about the Withers card! That's TWO free agents into the pot. Withers will be treated as a "Singer" (and thus, any cards deemed as "Singers" go to the person who drafts Singers). The Marlins card will be treated as a MARLINS player (and thus, all Marlins cards will go to the person who drafts Marlins).

If you want to see pics of the cards above, see the "Preview" post:

Now, let's rip open a new pack to officially kick things off!! Actually, I have three Purple 2016 Topps that came free floating with a retail pack from Toys R Us, so I'll go ahead and list those here, then we'll open a pack of 2011 Panini Americana. Why not?

Ike Davis Purple - A's - Dayf (Wahoo!!)
Billy Burns Purple - A's - Dayf (Wahoo!! x2)
Scott Feldman Purple - Astros - Raz (Wahoo!!)
Kathryn Thornton - Astronaut - FREE AGENT ("Astronauts")
Barry Bostwick - Actor - FREE AGENT ("Actors")
Willa Ford - Singer, Dancer, etc - FREE AGENT ("Singers")
Blank Card Filler - Filler - FREE AGENT ("Fillers")
Daniel Roebuck - Actor - FREE AGENT ("Actors")
Kristy Coventry - Olympic Swimmer - FREE AGENT ("Olympians")

Well, things have already gotten interesting here... And, yes, I am making up the categories as I go. Hey, it's my game and I'll make up the rules, even if it is on the fly. Basically, I will do my best to associate the person/item with the thing they are most known for - or what turns up to be most-associated when I Google them. As for "Fillers," that will include any insert revealed that is not team/item specific (generally, these will be contest cards, blank cardboard, "Crack the Code," security tabs, etc).
