Gint-A-Cuff 2: Packs 17-20 Third Hit's a RIP!

16 packs down, 8 to go. My total stands at 151.5 points. Let’s get to it.

Pack 17

# 180-Gordon Beckham
# 233-Rick Ankiel
# 118-Eric Young Jr

# 302-Daric Barton SP Mini (+3)




# TDH 46-Yovani Gallardo TDIH (+1)

Pack Total: 6 points

That’s not going to get it done.

My first rip card ever! And I ripped it!




# 390-Torii Hunter extended mini (+10)




# TDH 37-Ichiro TDIH (+1)

That was a nice third hit. I would have had quite a dilemma if it had been one of my favorite players or amy Ranger. I was a little torn (pun completely intended) about ripping open a card. It felt a little wrong.

59 points in those 4 packs really helped the total. I’ve only got 4 packs left and I’ve already had my three hits. That doesn’t leave much hope for the last few packs. Or does it?
