Gint-A-Cuffs (Part 1)

Once again, I've signed up to take part in the annual box break battle known as Gint-A-Cuffs. It's always fun and if you have the patience you should definitely look into participating next year. I've decided to condense the results into two post since I've done a lot of post-padding with the whole Spirit base stuff (the completion of which isn't looking too promising at the moment.)

Not a big fan of them devoting a whole insert set to glorify the Military Industrial Complex but I'm probably in the minority on this one.

Welp, at the halfway point I've pulled only 1 Giant, 6 Yankees and 0 hits. I guess you could say that I have a good second-half of the box awaiting me. We'll see...

**EDITED TO ADD...***
Looks like I forgot to scan the 2-point David Wright card from Pack 1. Here it is for verification.
