Gint-A-Cuffs X - Packs 9-16

After the boxloader and first 8 packs, I'm sitting at 62 points.  Of course, that includes a +20 hot box bonus.  Here's what I got for the next 8 packs:

Pack 9

Baseball Equipment of the Ages

Pack Score: 2

Box Score: 64

Pace: 125.666666666667

😑 The Baseball Equipment of the Ages is a nice set, but it's not only-point-scorer-in-the-pack nice.

Pack 10

Turner, Nationals

Moncada Black Border Mini

Carew Fantasy Goldmine

Pack Score: 7

Box Score: 71

Pace: 132.6

😊 Pretty good with a Nat, a black border mini, and an insert

Pack 11

Smith, +1

Wiseau A&G Back Mini

Magnificent Moons

Pack Score: 5

Box Score: 76

Pace: 133.909090909091

😉 Cool Wiseau mini, cool Claire Smith, and cool Moon

Pack 12

Chapman Full-Size Relic, Yankee (+5÷2)

Turner Mini, Nationals

Schoop World Talent

Pack Score: 5.5

Box Score: 81.5

Pace: 136

😓 C'mon man.  I've always laughed at the guys who have to divide by 2. At least the Turner mini softens the blow.

Pack 13

James, +1

Indigenous Heroes

World’s Greatest Beaches

Pack Score: 5

Box Score: 86.5

Pace: 136.846153846154

😏 Okay.

Pack 14

Ohtani, FP List

Stugotz Mini, -1

Ruth Fantasy Goldmine, Yankee (+2-1)

Pack Score: 2

Box Score: 88.5

Pace: 132.428571428571

💰 Ok, so not a lot of points, but a hot box Ohtani is money in the bank.

Pack 15

Baseball Equipment of the Ages

Pack Score: 2

Box Score: 90.5

Pace: 128.6

😑 I repeat: The Baseball Equipment of the Ages is a nice set, but it's not only-point-scorer-in-the-pack nice.

Pack 16

Rivera, Yankee

Robinson A&G Back Mini

Quintana World Talent

Pack Score: 3

Box Score: 93.5

Pace: 126.75

🎨 Low points, but Jackie minis are flat out works of art.


Well, I'm a pack or two or three below 100 with 8 packs to go.  My pace has slown considerably.  Yes, slown.  With the first two hits being full-size relics, I'm at least hopeful for something different for the third.
