Tis The Season 2015 Winnings

JediJeff's Tis The Season 2013 giveaway cards sat on my desk about a year before I managed to get them posted in early 2015. I did better this time, as these have only been there less than 2 months. Even though there were many different stacks of cards offered in the contest, I didn't try for any until some 2015 Allen and Ginter popped up, and I came up a winner.

#115 Dustin Pedroia
#131 Josh Reddick
#135 Mark Teixeira
#137 Marlon Byrd
#146 Michael Morse
#153 Brandon Moss
#156 Brian Dozier

Did you know Clubber Lang's first name was James? I didn't, but I guess if you asked me I would assume it wasn't really Clubber. Also, is this the first fictional character in the Allen and Ginter base set? Brandon Moss is the first Cardinal to appear in this post.

2015 Allen and Ginter

#196 Ian Kinsler
#198 Albert Pujols
#202 Travis Ishikawa
#206 Erick Aybar
#212 Chris Tillman
#221 Doug Fister
#223 Incredibeard

I've seen lots of stuff in Allen and Ginter, and that particular photo of Incredibeard might be the grossest. Also, Albert Pujols is the second Cardinal to show up.

2015 Allen and Ginter
#227 Christian Yelich
#233 Ike Davis
#239 Zach Britton
#243 Jean Segura
#248 Jose Bautista
#249 Bryce Harper
#253 Carlos Beltran
#261 Yu Darvish
#264 Matt Kemp

Carlos Beltran is the third and final Cardinal in this prize package. None of them were in uniform, though Moss did join the team in 2015 and is still here for 2016.

2015 Allen and Ginter
#268 Jimbo Fisher
#269 Jeremy Roenick
#276 Alex Rodriguez
#282 Adeiny Hechavarria
#286 Addison Reed
#287 Jon Lester

2015 Allen and Ginter
#306 Stephen Drew
#310 Chris Coghlan
#312 Gerrit Cole
#317 Hunter Strickland
#320 Dallas Keuchel
#325 Aroldis Chapman
#326 Mitch Moreland
#331 Alcides Escobar
#334 Nick Tropeano

2015 Allen and Ginter
#335 Collin Cowgill
#340 Neftali Feliz
#343 Angel Pagan
#348 Aaron Sanchez
#350 Masahiro Tanaka
Ancient Armory #AA-13 Taiaha
Great Scott! #GS-3 Polio Vaccine
Great Scott! #GS-6 Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Great Scott! #GS-9 Fingerprints

Is that Incredibeard again with the Taiaha? Great Scott is an insert set that celebrates scientific breakthroughs. At first I thought maybe it was forensics-focused when I saw Fingerprints and DNA, but the Polio Vaccine clearly isn't forensic.

2015 Allen and Ginter
Menagerie of the Mind #MM-11 Zombie
Menagerie of the Mind #MM-13 Cyclops
Menagerie of the Mind #MM-14 Djinn
Starting Point #SP-33 George Springer
Starting Point #SP-68 Cliff Lee
What Once Would Be #WOULD-3 Robot Housekeepers

That zombie still isn't as gross as Incredibeard.

2015 Allen and Ginter
#105 Daniel Norris
#121 Wei-Yin Chen
#194 Zack Cozart
#259 Jonathan Schoop
#293 Philae Probe
What Once Was Believed #WAS-5 Alchemy
What Once Would Be #WOULD-6 Giant Airliners
What Once Would Be #WOULD-9 Vacuum Tube Trains

That was a quite a pile of cards, 104 in all. Thanks to JediJeff for this contest, and all his annual Tis The Season contests!
