I Have More Answers

More questions have arrived which means that it is time for more answers.  Clarifications, really.

Ginter Godfather queried:

Q: How should we score hits of the non-baseball Yankees? Regular full points or because Greg Gumbel looks like a cabbage patch doll he's worth half points? I didn't even know he had a relic... but I would imagine Bob Knight's relic, and the surfer's relic (if it exists?) should have their points adjusted to reflect the anti-Gint-A-Cuff nature of the subject depicted.
A: I'm not quite sure what you mean by "non-baseball Yankees".  By the rest of the question I assume that you mean relic or auto cards of Bob Knight, Ara Parseghian, Dale Webster, and Greg Gumbel.  You would get +10 for the relic or auto, but would be assessed a -1 penalty for being one of those four.

Colbey asked:

Q: Do you get bonus points for pulling an insert of someone else's favorite player? For instance I pulled a Joe Mauer N43 boxloader. +5 for the card itself, but do I get another +2 since the Ginter Godfather chose Mauer?
A: Absolutely.  +5 for the boxloader, +2 for another participant's Favorite Player.

Ross beseeched:

Q: If I pulled a Greg Gumbel Black Mini, does that mean -1 off of the +3 for a black mini? Or does the Gumbelness cancel out the Black Border?
A: The Gumblness cancels out many things, including, but not limited to appetite, but it does not cancel out the Black Border. +3 for black bordered mini, -1 for being Greg Gumbel.


UPDATE (This question came in just after I answered the others.  I didn't want to put it on hold for a few days.)

Charlie pondered:

Q: If you pull an N43 of someone else's favorite player, is it worth +10 only, or +15 (+5 N43 & +10 FP N43)?
A: Very good question.  Not good enough to get you any extra credit, but good.  I see where the scoring rules are confusing.  I'm going to keep pushing the scores up.  It will be additional points.  (+5 N43 & +10 FP N43).  If it is a Yankee, then divide N43 total points by 2.

  1. I have another unfortunate scoring issue to bring up. One of my hits was a Bobby Knight relic. While the base and mini were addressed, this special circumstance was not outlined in the scoring...outline. So does my +10 for the relic meet a -1 for Bobby Knightness, soiling it down to a +9??

  2. Ross,

    I had the same question about my stupid Greg Gumbel relic. Here's his answer:

    "A: I'm not quite sure what you mean by "non-baseball Yankees". By the rest of the question I assume that you mean relic or auto cards of Bob Knight, Ara Parseghian, Dale Webster, and Greg Gumbel. You would get +10 for the relic or auto, but would be assessed a -1 penalty for being one of those four."

    So, you'd get +10 for the relic or auto, and -1 for being Bob Knight, for a total of +9.

    Also, "non-baseball Yankee's" are those 4. They're kind of like Yankees, and if they played baseball they would be Yankee's just out of principle because they are Bob Knight, Ara Parseghian, Dale Webster, and Greg Gumbel. That's all. Yankee's are bad, and these guys are bad. Bad, bad dudes. And I had two base Gumbels and two base Websters in my box. What the heck. Thanks Commish!
