Gint-A-Cuffs is Coming!
Greetings Ginter Gnafia,
I just wanted to post a heads up that Gint-A-Cuffs is coming and the Ginter Godfather WILL be participating. To all of those whom are my opponents... I'll make you an offer you can't refuse. Give up now and I won't have to put you on ice... refractors in the next set of Bowman.

The Long Awaited Update
Greetings Ginter Lovers!
I just wanted to post a quick update! Recent life changes have caused some major changes in my living situation, but they are largely resolved and we're back! And not a moment too soon with the release of Allen and Ginter 2012 just around the corner!
Many more blog posts are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Day 16 - Recap
Good afternoon! Glad you could join us! I have some special treats for you today!
We'll get right to the pack and then the special treat!
Pack 16:
Base Card #16 - Gordon Beckham
Base Card #50 - Carl Crawford
Base Card #93 - Evan Lysacek
Base Card #132 - Colby Rasmus
Base Card #187 - Jim Nantz
Base Card #292 - Wade Davis
Mini Base Card #293 - Royal Wedding
Hometown Heroes #74 - Jayson Werth
Not terrible, nothing to write home about either.
This, however... is a winner. Featuring our first Mail Day Saturday:
Straight from PressPass headquarters, it's a 2011 Saturday Signatures Akeem Ayers serialized out of 99. A solid redemption card! Now only if it were a baseball card!
A quick word on redemption cards... some people hate them. I, however, am a huge fan. Because not only do you get to enjoy opening the pack and finding a hit, but then you get to enjoy that sensation AGAIN when you get the actual card in the mail. It's awesome. Hell, I'd even be a fan if they sent me a redemption card again so I could do it three times. Any more than that and it would be annoying, though.
That's it for today, see you tomorrow!

Days 13, 14, 15 - Recap
So GLAD you could join us for this evening's Ginter Godfather Hobby Box Break Recap! My sincerest apologies for the delay, some things regarding work and a certain MASSIVE power outage in a certain part of the country may have contributed to the fact that I couldn't update you all.
So! I am pleased to say we FINALLY GOT A HIT! It's not as big as I was hoping it would be, but a hit is a hit! So! Without further adieu:
Pack 13:
Base Card #15 - Diana Taurasi
Base Card #55 - Dustin Pedroia

Base Card #198 - Freddie Freeman
Base Card #205 - Kendrys Morales

Day 11 - Recap
I'm so glad you could join us this late Labor Day afternoon for our day 11 recap! Once again I'll end the suspense early - still no hit. Tomorrow, if we're still pitching a no-hitter, we'll have gone through half the box without a single hit. Amazing.
Here we go!
Pack 11:
Base Card #2 - Ty Wigginton
Base Card #70 - Evan Longoria
Base Card #92 - Michael Pineda
Base Card #172 - Yunesky Maya
Base Card #184 - Pedro Alvarez
Base Card #246 - Ian Kinsler
Ginter Ad Back Mini #59 - Jeremy Jeffress
Hometown Heroes #100 - Travis Snider
Well, at least we hit a Ginter Ad Back mini! I do love those minis...
That's it for today! I hope you enjoyed this pack break, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Labor Day!
Here we go!

Day 10 - Recap
Thank you so much for joining us this evening for our Day 10 Recap!
I'll end any suspense right now - we did not get our first hit today. Alas. That leaves 14 packs with at least 3 hits in them. I wish I had these odds whenever I buy loose packs from a hobby shop! Instead I always feel like I'm the guy buying X number of loose packs of Y number of packs with 0 hits remaining. Statistically speaking it is unlikely to have bought 5 Hobby Jumbo Packs and gotten 0 hits. I'll let you know when I hit 10 Jumbo Packs and 0 hits to prove it's better to just get a box of the stuff for yourself. But enough rambling. Onto the pack!
Pack 10:
Base Card #142 - Michael Young
Base Card #154 - Todd Helton
Base Card #175 - Jose Bautista
Base Card #176 - Brian Bogusevic
Base Card #195 - Tommy Hanson
Base Card #273 - Brent Morel
Base Mini #149 - Lars Anderson
Hometown Heroes #36 - Gordon Beckham
Speaking of somewhat awful packs, this one ranks right up there. No short prints, barely an insert (if you can call Hometown Heroes an insert...) but the Ginter Godfather never complain when opening a pack of Allen and Ginter. Never. Because it could be some inferior product.
