My 5th Target Rack Pack of Opening Day was my most Cardinal-heavy to date, with 3 current and 1 former Cardinal among the 21 base cards. That's not bad considering there are only 7 current Cardinals in the whole 220-card set.

| 2012 Opening Day #60 Adam Wainwright |
I cheated and re-used this Waino scan from
Pack 3.
 |
| 2012 Opening Day #64 Dan Haren |
I also cheated and re-used the Haren scan from
Pack 1. Some might say I'm cheating by counting him among Cardinals, but it's my blog, my collection, my rules. He's a Cardinal!
 |
| 2012 Opening Day #96 Chris Carpenter |
Finally, a fresh card, and it's a Chris Carpenter to boot.
 |
| 2012 Opening Day #154 Yadier Molina |
Arguably even better than Carpenter is Yadier Molina.
 |
| 2012 Opening Day - Elite Skills #ES-4 Ian Kinsler |
At first I scanned this because it was an insert, but then I noticed who's being doubled-up in the play. It's none other than our own Rafael Furcal. I'm counting it as a half, so that's 4 and a half Cardinals in this pack. Oddly enough, this is the very first Rafael Furcal card I've tagged on my blog.

| 2012 Opening Day - Opening Day Stars #ODS-24 Dustin Pedroia |
These 3D cards lose a lot of the effect when they're put in sleeves, but I'm not sure how else to protect them. Presumably pages would have the same problem.

| 2012 Opening Day - Superstar Celebrations #SC-20 Martin Prado |
Didn't we just see this guy? Hopefully another Opening Day collector (are they any among the adults in the blogosphere?) will come along and pluck some of these duplicates from my collection.
