51 Matt Garza 
84 Josh Harrison

203 David Wright (+4 Favorite Player)
305 Chris Carter 
110 Victor Martinez 
SP-13 Hanley Ramirez  Starting Points (+2 Insert)
159 Devin Mesoraco Mini

Always good to beat the 1:3ish box odds and get your favorite player's base card.

Pack Total: 6
Box Total: 63






Pack 11:
20 Leonys Martin 
266 Drew Storen (+1 Nationals)
295 Joe Nathan 
338 Mike Napoli 
72 Joe Panik 
172 Matt Carpenter 
GS-10 Dolly the Sheep Great Scott! (+2 Insert)
BP-4 Burrowing Owl Birds of Prey (+2 Mini Insert)

Topps really blew it here.  Every Dolly the Sheep card should have an identical one right behind it.  At least they put owls in the set.

Pack Total: 5
Box Total: 68

Pack 12:
15 Justin Verlander 
239 Zach Britton 
147 Yoenis Cespedes 
328 Val Kilmer 
29 Nick Swisher 
289 Wil Myers 
SP-5 Freddie Freeman  Starting Points (+2 Insert)
108 Prince Fielder Mini Black Border (+3 Mini Black Border, +3 FP List)

A black mini Prince Fielder is both redundant and oxymoronic.

Pack Total: 8
Box Total: 76

So I've increased to a 142-point pace at the halfway mark.  I need some help.
