1978 Papa Gino's Discs - Thanks, Mark!

Thanks to Mark A, here is some background info on the Papa Gino's discs we handed out on here not long ago:

That certainly explains why our stack of cards was so Red Sox heavy!

Thanks for the head's up, Mark!

PAD Circus - 036 - Bo Knows Yankees... And a couple 1978ish Discs

Hello, everyone!
  As I mentioned, the big box of packs is taunting me, so I am ripping multiple packs of cards for a while. This time, I have two 1978ish discs and a slew of those 1979 Burger King Yankees. Sorry for most of us, but this post is mainly aimed squarely at Rosny.

Jim Beattie - Yankees - BoRosny (Wahoo!!)

Speaking of the 70's, how about a couple MSA-style discs:

Thurman Munson Big T/Tastee-Freez - Yankees - BoRosny (Wahoo!!)
Dave Parker Orbaker's Foods - Pirates - Brian C (Wahoo!!)

Hahaha, are you kidding me!? Wow, this really was Bo's night! Congrats to Brian C for sneaking in there and grabbing the Dave Parker!

PAD Circus - 035 - Triple Triple Play

Hello, everyone! This big ol' box of cards is staring at me and I don't feel like I can add more to it until I knock a bunch more packs out. So, I am starting with three Triple Play 2013 packs. I know, not a huge start, but this weekend, we will see HUGE breaks!

PAD Circus - 033 - Wait. What?! Didn't we already do #34!?

Hello, everyone! Yes, for those that pay close attention, I posted #034 on Sunday but skipped #033. Sure, in the scheme of things, you probably wonder why I even bother to number them in the first place. I'm not sure myself. The first couple of seasons, the numbers indicated which day of the season. Then the numbers were used to signify how many packs were ripped. Now? Yeah, no idea.

Anyway, this will be #033 for continuity's sake. Let's get ripped:

First, 1992 Fleer Ultra:

Derek Bell - Blue Jays - Hockeykazi (Wahoo!!)
George Bell - White Sox - Dominic FDNY (Wahoo!!)
Alex Cole - Indians - Enamel Rods (Wahoo!!)
Von Hayes - Angels - Angels In Order (Wahoo!!)
Darryl Hamilton - Brewers - Jacksonville Jobu (Wahoo!!)
Kevin Ritz - Tigers - Ryan G (Wahoo!!)
Hector Villanueva - Cubs - Sons of Diagoras (Wahoo!!)
Melido Perez - Yankees - BoRosny (Wahoo!!)
Junior Noboa - Mets - Buckstore Cards (Wahoo!!)
Ken Hill - Expos - Scott Crawford on Cards (Wahoo!!)
Freddie Benavides - Reds - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!!)
Tom Prince - Pirates - Brian C (Wahoo!!)
Dan Pasqua - White Sox - Dominic FDNY (Wahoo!! x2)
Marvin Freeman - Braves - Jafronius (Wahoo!!)

Congrats to Dominic FDNY for getting two cards from this pack! I'm always glad to see us pull an Expos player, since those may be hard to come by this pack-breaking season. Plus, we pulled a Tribecard, too, so that is always a great pack in my book.

Now, let's try 2013 Pinnacle:

Brock Holt - Red Sox - Thoughts & Sox (Wahoo!!)
Eury Perez - Nationals - CaptKirk42 (Wahoo!!)
Matt Holliday - Cardinals - Wilson (Wahoo!!)
Jacob Turner - Marlins - BoRosny (Wahoo!!)
Felix Hernandez Aces - Mariners - Cool Breeze (Wahoo!!)
Paul Goldschmidt - Diamondbacks - Alec (Wahoo!!)
Alex Gordon - Royals - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!)
Hisashi Iwakuma - Mariners - Cool Breeze (Wahoo!! x2)

Look at that! Another 2-card taker! Congrats to Cool Breeze! That Aces Hernandez is a great bit of cardboard with lots of shininess! Congrats to everyone that pulled cards from either (or both) packs!

PAD Circus - 034 - Back in the Saddle!

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Pack-breaking PAD Circus posts! My wife and I had a GREAT time in Branson, MO for our 25th Anniversary. I swore I was not going to do anything card-related, but... well, at Dick's 5-and-10 Store, they had "team bags" of cards for a buck each. These aren't actually TEAM bags, I'm just saying they were in team bags. You know what I'm saying? Well, anyway, I bought a couple home-grown repacks. Let's see what's in one:

Jeff Bagwell 96 Score Numbers Game - Astros - RAZ (Wahoo!!)
Dennis Lamp 90 Fleer - Red Sox - Thoughts & Sox (Wahoo!!)
Tony Pena 94 Topps Gold - Red Sox - Thoughts & Sox (Wahoo!! x2, Back-to-Back!!)
Dodgers, Expos, Mets, Phillies Logo Stickers - Scott Crawford on Cards* (Wahoo!!)
Walt Weiss 91 Fleer - A's - Dayf (Wahoo!!)
Kevin Gross 89 Topps - Phillies - Dawgbones (Wahoo!!)
Chris Brown 89 Topps - Padres - Marcus (Wahoo!!)
Eric Show 87 Topps - Padres - Marcus (Wahoo!! x2, Back-to-Back!!)
Paul Gibson 91 Topps - Tigers - Ryan G (Wahoo!!)

Luis Polonia Denny's 92 Grand Slam - Angels - Angels in Order (Wahoo!!)
John Marzano 90 Topps - Red Sox - Thoughts & Sox (Wahoo!! x3)
Pat Tabler 90 Fleer - Royals - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!)
Rick Aguilera 89 Topps - Mets - Buckstore Cards (Wahoo!!)

Cecil Fielder 94 Topps Gold - Tigers - Ryan G (Wahoo!! x2)
Tom Candiotti 94 Topps Gold - Dodgers - Night Owl (Wahoo!!)
Joe Jay Topps Archives - Milwaukee Braves - FREE AGENT

Somehow, I missed the Mil Braves when laying out the team assignments. So, in the interest of fairness and competition, I'm putting it into the Free Agent pile!

Congrats to all of you that scored multiple cards and some back-to-backs! There were actually way more cards in the pile than I realized. Not bad for a buck, eh?

*Scott Crawford on Cards was chosen randomly from the teams pictured. Expos take the sticker.
