The One Little Corner cards feature 'one little corner' of universe, depicting either a particular planet, star or other celestial object. The design is nice and all but it's hard to get excited about these drawings of homogenous spheres. I think maybe constellations would be a bit more interesting. Maybe next year...

One Little Corner: Mercury +3

PACK TOTAL +5
ROLLING TOTAL +107

PACK 12

PACK TOTAL +9
ROLLING TOTAL +116

Hello, Timmy. Even after the ups and downs of his last season and a half, I still get excited when I pull a Timmy from a pack. Even a base card like this. I also got my first look at the First Americans minis. I really like these cards. The design is clean and solemn yet still has an organic feel. Living in Oklahoma, this might be a set I try putting together.

PACK 13
ATY Ryan Howard (FP) +4
A&G NNO: Bob Lemon +11

I wonder how many people have these no-numbers in their possession but have no clue.

After 16 packs, I'm 8 points off my pace from last year's contest. Who knows what's in store? (I do)
