I picked up a few packs recently and thought I could turn them into a blog feature where I assign each card a point value and see which pack has the highest point value.
Point System
Hall of Famer: 10 points
Star Player: 5 points
Current Diamondback: 5 points
One Time Diamondback: 3 points
Dodger: -5 points
Oddball: 3 points
Damaged Card: - 5 points
Junk Wax (1987 - 1994) Base Cards: -2 points
Insert: 5 points
Parallel: 2 points
Mini Collection: 5 points
Vintage (Pre 1981): 25 points
Cards can't have + and - points, so for example, a card of a Hall of Famer or Star Player from the Junk Wax era will only get the positive points. Also, some cards will not have any point value.
Mini Collection (celebrations): 5 points
Oddball: 3 points
Hall of Famer: 10 points
Star Player: 5 points
Star Player: 5 points
Star Player: 5 points
One Time Diamondback: 3 points
Junk Wax: -2 points
Update, so it doesn't count as Junk Wax.
Star Player: 5 points
Star Player: 5 points
Star Player: 5 points
Mini Collection (Patches): 5 points
Damaged Card: -5 points
Junk Wax: -2 points
Damaged Card: - 5 points

Star Player: 5 points
Damaged Card: -5 points

Junk Wax: -2 points
Oddball: 3 points
Mini Collection (trophies): 5 points
64 points, if I added correctly. We'll see how that stacks up. I'll try to post one every week or so.
OH man - that Alomar card is just another amazing UD photo.
ReplyDeleteI like! That was fun.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest one additional bit to the system...a small plus for older cards. Not sure where the cutoff should be--maybe 1982? I'd suggest a larger plus for true vintage, but it's not likely you'd ever have to use it.
You are absolutely correct. I draw the line for vintage as Pre 1981. I added it. Thanks!
DeleteSeems fun. That Alomar photo is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy repacks. This particular 30 card "Presstine" pack I have gotten many of from my local Dollar Tree. On one visit I got 6 packs of them maybe more. Usually they are exactly 30 cards but a few times there have only been 29 and one time I got 3 or 4 extras in a pack.
