[Part II]
I "won" a prize, in that I managed to have the worst bracket of all in Cards on Cards March Radness contest. I legitimately tried to win, in fact I didn't even realize there was this consolation prize until the contest was over, because I stopped scoreboard watching about 2 rounds into the tournament because I did so poorly to start off. The good thing about winning cards from a fellow Cardinals fan is that he can't resist dumping a whole bunch of his Cardinal duplicates on me, which I'm more than happy to take.
First up in this batch of cards is the Series I 2008 Upper Deck Cardinals I needed.

| 2008 Upper Deck (Series I) #61 Adam Wainwright #62 Joel Pineiro #63 Brad Thompson #65 Troy Percival #67 Albert Pujols #68 David Eckstein #69 Jim Edmonds #70 Rick Ankiel |
Together with the 8 cards from part II, and the 4 from a previous contest win, I have all of the Cardinals from this set, and never bought a pack.
 |
| 2011 Gypsy Queen #38 Walter Johnson #117 Dallas Braden |
That's 2 more off the wantlist, leaving me just 125 left to go for Gypsy Queen. It would seem I tend to get a little over ambitious with the wantlists sometimes, desiring a whole set after getting a few packs.

| 1988 Donruss Wax Pack |
Ah, the mystery of an unopened pack. I'm not going to open this yet. Maybe I'll wait for the 30th anniversary in 2018. More likely, I'll break down and open it when I finally sort through my 1988 Donruss cards, because I'm a weak, weak man.
