And the hit?

Black Bordered Stephen Drew Mini!

I'm a little at a loss for words... I get the two worst cards in the entire set (Harper and Darvish) but I get 50% of my minis are A&G back... I have one card with screwed up printing on the back and another pack that was short an entire card... hrm...

I'll be writing a letter to Topps and sending in the Gardner as well as the wrapper for the pack with only 7 cards in it! I have a screwed up mini from a pack earlier in the week, so that'll be 3 of the maximum 25 I can send in.

I'm off to the LCS to bust open more of this and hopefully find someone with minis they can trade me.

Phew. All 3 hits intact for us LOL. Anyway, brutal break, especially for someone who's mad on Ginter like you. Ouch. Good luck with your next Ginter breaks!

[TheGinterGodfather]

Hah! Don't worry about it Footiegal, you guys can have all the hits. I guess the Harper RC sells for more than most of the jersey relics, anyways? I don't know. A little perturbed at the missing of the card in a pack. It only happened once last year to me that I had a pack missing a card and I knew it before I even opened it (I opened that much Ginter last year I could tell you what was in a pack. I would imagine it was like what pack searching feels like, except I could tell you if it had a code card in it, missing a card, a coupon for 15% off the binder, regular old pack, etc.)

Anyways! Best of luck on your breaks fellow SCF Ginter Box Team, if you find any cool minis let me know!

Haha, yeah, I love minis too though - Might be hard to get them off of me! Mind you, with my luck I'll do worse than you did :P
