Allow me to apologize in advance for the small pics. I wasn't going to try to scan and post each card individually because I would rather have been kicked in the groin by an angry mule.

Pack 1-2011 Heritage: The Hit King- Reds, Jay Bruce






Bronson Arroyo--favorite team, +2. Not a bad start.
Carlos Zambrano--Could easily have been a deduction for douchebaggery. +0
Gordon Beckham--Nice backdrop Topps. +0
Jon Jay +0
Julio Borbon--Rangers. Dumb picture, but any a Ranger earns points. +3
Andre Ethier +0
Jonathon Niese +0
Vernon Wells--Vernon gets -2 for sucking since he signed his big contract and +2 for being a drain on the Angels. +0
Brett Myers +0

The Hit King total = 5 points.

He started off strong, but had too many duds. Of course, 2011 Heritage had a lot of duds, so we'll see how it holds up.

Pack 2-2011 Heritage: Fuji-A's, Kurt Suzuki





2010 NL Batting Leaders--Floating heads are cool. +1
Alexei Ramirez +0
Jorge Posada--Yankee -2
LAAAAAAA Angels Team Card +0
Chase Utley--Starting the year on the DL? +0
Ben Revere--Twin rookie +1, cap on crooked, -1, SP +2. Total +2
David Ortiz +0
Cliff Pennington--favorite team, +2
Derrek Lee +0

The Fuji total = 3 point.

If it hadn't been for Posada, Fuji would be tied for first. After two packs, here are the standings:

The Hit King--5 points
Fuji--3 point

More packs to come!
