Good news, bad news

The good news is that Topps is our main sponsor again this year.  And we thank them.

The bad news is that I have not been able to secure a dealer sponsor.  That means that all the contestants will be forced to find the best price for a hobby box on their own.

Several contestants have offered to or did provide a scan of the odds.  I present it here:


Now that I know the odds I'll be putting together the rules. I'm sure that they'll be tweaked.

For the contestants, please submit your Favorite Player and Favorite Team.  I'm expanding the FP to any  person depicted on a card in the set, cards #1-350.  This could be a race car driver, a coach, etc.  Now, if you pick a non-baseball player the chances are that you'll be at a disadvantage in scoring during the contest.

Pick away.

  9. I went with Jason Heyward last year to no avail (Play at the Plate got the box that was destined for me) so this year I will pick Freddie Freeman for the Braves

  12. since Topps appears to NOT have put my favourite player in Ginter this year, way to go topps again!
    I guess I'll have to go with Freddie Freeman and of course, my Braves.
