#PackADailyCircus - 067-068 - Draft Results and seriously random wax

Hey, everyone! Sorry about Saturday, but tonight I will open two packs to make up for it. Plus, we have the Draft Results for June 6! Wahoo!!

Here are the draft results:


And, if you are interested, here are the names, randomized, before the draft (click to enlarge):


The Managers/Players list has been updated with the "(unseen)" removed. For those that are watching at home, but not playing along, I added a bunch of draft choices as "(unseen)" indicating that those draftees had not been revealed in any pack breaks yet. I will keep doing that for a while in order to help build up draft pools.

I also realized there were a couple players that we saw in pack openings that did not get on the draft list, so I will have those this week.


Now, let's open some more packs. I've got a pack of 2009 Series 2 and a BoPack. We'll start with the '09:

Chone Figgins - Angels - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!)
Taylor Teagarden - Rangers - Free Agent

Ronny Paulino - Marlins - Free Agent
David Ortiz Toppstown - Red Sox - Dominic FDNY (Wahoo!!)

Ricky Romero - Blue Jays - Kazis (Wahoo!!)
Jose Contreras - White Sox - Jennings64 (Wahoo!!)
Anthony Reyes - Indians (Wahoo!) - Free Agent
Ryan Ludwick - Cardinals - Nachos Grande (Wahoo!!)

Congratulations to the managers that pulled cards from this pack! Started off with a hit, filled the middle with hits, then ended with one. Nice, well-rounded pack.



Now, let's see what Bo sent us:

Mike Sharperson 1993 Score - Dodgers - Night owls (Wahoo!!)
Tom Henke '95 Fleer - Rangers - Kazis (Wahoo!!)

Congratulations to everyone who scored cards out of this one! This is a cool way to end the week for sure. Er, well, the work week... For those that work weekdays... Okay, okay, you know what I'm trying to say here.

#PackADailyCircus - 063-065 - Busting 3 Packs in one post

Hey there, everyone!

When I have said that we have a LOT of 1991 Upper Deck packs, I meant it. So much so, in fact, that I am ripping open three packs tonight just to help knock some of these out! So, sit back and enjoy the ride. For those wondering about the numbering in the post title, I am posting the number of PACKS we are busting and not the number of days. I know in the past, I tracked the days. Since I know we are going to bust way more packs than there are days in the season, I thought it would be fun to see just how many packs we open.

#PackADailyCircus #ootp - 061/062 - Packs from the Biggs House! Let's open a couple...

Hey everyone!

I had a package in the mail and it was from Maddings and Erin Rose! Wahoo!! Inside, there were 10 packs of cards and a stack of Indians cards. I will post the Indians cards later becuase i still have a post due for the multiple stacks I got from Bo Rosny a bit ago.

I do want to say that I have not looked at all the Indians cards in the Biggs (Maddings) stack, but there was one I could not help but see when I was unwrapping the tape from the packs. Consider this a teaser, but OH-Em-Gee. No, really. It is one of the coolest cards I have seen. You'll have to wait to see it - well, partially see it, that is!

Quick OOTP update: I posted the latest game info to padcircus.com for you to look over. Please note: the most recent draftees are NOT in the game/on the right teams because I was a doof and forgot to put them in. Yeap, that is your commish at work here, folks.

Here are 9 of the packs we got. Let's bust open a couple right now!



Let's start with 2013 Hometown Heroes:

Dustin Pedroia - Red Sox - RJBreeze (Wahoo!!)
David Freese - Cardinals - Wilsons (Wahoo!!)
Bobby Thigpen - White Sox - SoxFan4Life (Wahoo!!)
Mark Mulder - A's - Maddings (Wahoo!!)
Gio Gonzalez - Nationals - Idaho Astros (Wahoo!!)
Pete Rose Sr Curtain Call - Reds - Dominic FDNY (Wahoo!!)
Mark Lemke - Braves - Captain Canucks (Wahoo!!)
Matt Moore - Rays - Free Agent

Aw, say what!? Man, one hit away from a perfect pack and it comes right at the end. Well, certainly congrats goes to Maddings for pulling a card from a pack he sent along to us! Also, congrats to everyone else that grabbed a goodie from this one.

Let's see what we can get from a pack of 2003 UD Series 1

Sean Casey - Reds - Free Agent
Derek Lowe - Red Sox - Free Agent
Timo Perez - Mets - Free Agent
Edgar Martinez - Mariners - Backstop Cards (Wahoo!!)
Corky Miller - Reds - Free Agent
Brett Myers Star Rookie - Phillies - Free Agent
Juan Cruz - Cubs - Free Agent
Chris Magruder - Indians (Wahoo!) - Free Agent

Whoa! Well, congrats to Backtop Cards for breaking up a no-hitter! On the upside, more free agents for the next draft.



Thank you so much, Kerry and Erin for the packs and for the Indians cards! Seriously, that "bonus" card is freakin' cool!
