New Year Contest Pack Break 10-13 We Have a Winner

The final 4 packs are going down today. Jeremy should be feeling pretty good with his 11 points. We'll see if he still has that good feeling in a couple of minutes. The players today are:

Pack10--1991 Upper Deck 15 cards--Mr. Scott
Pack 11--1988 Donruss 15 cards--Joe S.
Pack 12--1990 Fleer 15 cards--DKWilson
Pack 13--1987 Topps 17 cards--Night Owl

These all have at least 15 cards so we should get some good scores.

#586 Ben Oglivie--Brewers
#558 Greg Gagne--Twins

Night Owl's 1987 Topps put up a good fight and if Pete Rose was in the Hall, the Owl would have won. Who knew that Pete's transgressions would one day affect the outcome of a contest. Night Owl ended up with 13 points, one point shy of the top spot.

Joe S. is the winner of the Plate's first contest of the year. You'll be receiving a couple of unopened packs of 2009 Heritage High Numbers and a few other things I can put together. Is it A's stuff you want since you picked them? Let me know! Congrats and thanks to everyone for playing along.
