Pack A Day #3--Something Different Edition #2--Championship Edition #1

I could go on a rant about how my local Walmart is stupid for getting rid of most of it's football cards (other then retail boxes  some time between this past Tuesday and today (also known as Super Bowl Sunday) and how in that same time period they went from having lots of WWE 2012 product to having none.  They have a ton of stuff from the new Magic expansion though, so this all that matters.  It will take up plenty of space on their shelves with plenty of other Magic products that no one buys more then a few packs at a time of. And before everyone gets mad at me for saying no one plays Magic, that is because there doesn't seem to be more then a few packs at a time gone every time I am there.  I actually collect them.  It's just they have way more then they should based on the amount it seems they sell.

Anyways, the Super Bowl starts in a few hours, and I don't really care.  The Vikings aren't in it, so I don't really care who wins.  should be a good game though.  and I figured I would use a jumbo pack of Topps 2012 Football cards to see who will win.  I was going to get 2 and do some sort simulated football game based on the pulls, but they didn't have any more when I went to get a second pack on Friday, which lead to the sort of rant at the start of the post.

The rules are simple.  Each card earns that team's conference (AFC or NFC) a point.  Cards for the 49ers or Ravens earn them 2 points.  Inserts will count only if a tie breaker is needed.  Lets see who will win.

NFC	AFC
Beanie Wells (Cardinals)	Damian Williams (Titans)
Charles Johnson (Panthers)	Kansas City Chiefs
NaVorro Bowman (49ers)	Johnathan Joseph (Texans)
Chris Clemons (Seahawks)	Houstan Texans
Micheal Turner (Falcons)	Tavon Wilson (Patriots)
Casey Hayward (Packers)	Derrick Johnson (Chiefs)
Brandon Boykin (Eagles)
Russle Wilson (Seahawks)

Paramount Pairs----Marques Colston/Pierre Thomas

1965 Topps Mini----Osi Umenyiora

Prolific Playmakers----Vincent Jackson

At the halfway point, it's not looking good for the Ravens, Because the AFC is behind 8 points to 6.  Let's check the rest of the pack.

NFC	AFC
Chris Long (Rams)	Ray Lewis (Ravens)
Brandon Perrigre (Lions)	Nick Barnett (Bills)
DeSean Jackson (Eagles)	Paul Posluszny (Jaguars)
Sidney Rice (Seahawks)	Whitney Mercilus (Texans)
Arazona Cardinals	Moris Claiborne (Cowboys)
New York Giants	Dre Patrick (Bengles)
Alshon Jeffery (Bears)	Kelechi Osemele (Ravens)
	Eric Berry (Chiefs)
	Jabaal Sheard (Browns)
	New York Jets

QB Immortals----Bart Star

Game Time Giveaway Card

What a differance a half can make.  Lead by Ray Lewis of the Ravens, the AFC pulls out the win with a final score of 18-16!

And they celebrated through out the entire AFC!

 

On a side note, like the design  like the inserts for the most part.  I like minis and retro cards, but not a big fan of the 1965 Minis.  Maybe they will grow on me.  Who knows.  Also like the QB Immortals  but there is a big problem.  He was a great quarter back, but Bart Star was still a packer.  Which leads to the biggest problem so far.  Far too many packers, not enough Vikings (although Sidney Rice, a former Viking, showed up.  That counts for partial credit.

UPDATE:     Well, that worked well.  Was a little worried for a bit there, but in the end, the Ravens got the win.  Might have to try this again for the World Series.
