Free 2011 Bowman--Packs 7 and 8, A colorful finale

I know I stretched it out until Tuesday, but I'm time-challenged this week. You know, work and all.

Let's get to a rather colorful finale, shall we?

Pack 7

Alex Castellanos, 1st BC--Cardinals (finally on the board)

Tyler Moore, 1st BC--Nationals

Mark Teixeira--Yankees

Will Venable--Padres

Tim Lincecum--Giants (also on the board for the first time)

Daniel Descalso RC--Cardinals








Stephen Strasburg Finest Futures, Nationals

Rymer Liriano, 1st BC Chrome--Padres

Oswaldo Arcia, 1st BC Chrome--Twins

Tommy Hanson gold parallel--Braves (yet another first timer)

Pack 8

Jose Pirela, 1st BC--Yankees

Tyson Auer, 1st BC--Angels

Aaron Hill--Blue Jays

Jeff Niemann--Rays

Martin Prado--Braves





Jason Heyward green parallel #69/450--Braves

Chris Johnson orange parallel #58/250--Astros

Jarek Cunningham, 1st BC Chrome--Pirates

Eduardo Escobar, 1st BC Chrome--White Sox

Kendry(s) Morales gold parallel--Angels

Not a bad way to finish out the blaster. Two colored parallels to wrap things up is better than pulling only one purple refractor in the whole blaster.

The Final Card Count Leaderboard

White Sox--7
Dodgers--5
Pirates--5
Blue Jays--4
Padres-4
Reds--4
Yankees--4
Angels--3
Athletics--3
Braves--3
Diamondbacks--3
Mariners--3
Mets--3
Nationals-3
Tigers--3
Twins-3
Astros--2
Indians--2
Cardinals--2
Orioles-2
Phillies--2
Rays--2
Red Sox--2
Royals--2
Brewers--1
Cubs--1
Giants--1
Marlins--1
Rangers--1

So, after 8 packs and 81 cards, only the poor Colorado Rockies went unrepresented.

Unfortunately, nobody picked the White Sox to be our winner.

I actually didn't expect that to happen and therefore didn't make a plan for it. I do however have a solution. I'm going to randomize everyone's name. I am going to give an extra entry to all everyone who guessed the right number of cards with 7.
Here is the randomization for the cards...




Congrats to adame of Thoughts and Sox!

Adam, please send me your address just to verify I have it correctly, and I'll get those cards out to you.

  4. Congrats on winning! I honestly had either Indians, Whitesox or Mariners as my picks due to the amount I had pulled from 2 rack packs and like an idiot I picked the Indians, ha. Thanks for the contest, it was great.

  5. Dang it I would have won had I entered with my gut feeling not my fave team(s). I was tempted to enter either with the White Sox or the Royals. I knew that my Nationals would not get many nor the Orioles and I didn't want any White Sox cards. :) It seems whenever I've been in a group break with leftover random teams one of the random teams I always get are the White Sox, with the Royals coming in a close second or Mariners or Padres. No love for those teams I guess.
