Gint-a-Cuffs VIII: Pack 24 and Final Box Score

Well, I just barely got to 80 (107 after a rules update) points for this box. I don't think that will be enough to win it this year. It was fun to participate again, though, and my big hit of the box turned out to be a lot better than I thought it would be. I sold the Gennady Golovkin Black-Bordered autograph for north of $250, so I got my money back on this box x2 after accounting for eBay fees, Paypal fees, and shipping expenses. It will be interesting to see how other bloggers' boxes score out.


Carlos Gomez: +1 (My Favorite Team Base +1)
Eduardo Rodriguez: +2 (A&G Back Mini +2)
Willie McCovey: +2 (The Numbers Game +2)

Pack Total: 5.00
Final Box Total: 107.00

Average Per Pack: 4.28

  1. Definitely not a terrible box. Ignore my previous comment about "if you plan to sell." No matter who ends up winning, the experience is fun on it's own.

    1. It's a fun experience. I like playing the game and seeing what rules the Commissioner comes up with. I like penalizing the Yankees. The box turned out to be pretty good from a financial standpoint. It wasn't huge for points, but I'll take the tradeoff.

  2. Congratulations! $250+ for an autograph is insane.

    1. Thanks! I know! There are a few autographs I might spend that much on, but they are few and far between. I'd never even heard of the guy, so I didn't feel any compulsion to hold on to the card.

  3. Yeah congratulations as well! I was compelled to roll the dice, but couldn't make myself do it. Thanks for sharing the results!

    1. It's pretty fun, but it might not be something you want to do if you weren't going to buy some Ginter anyway. It's a pretty big investment for a blog game.
