Fairfield Football Repack #9

I think I'm about done with these repacks, for two reasons. First, my local Target is running out, and the next closest Target's are just out of my way enough to be annoying. Next, finishing a set via random loose packs is provably hard, which is why good collation in full boxes is extremely helpful in finishing sets. At this point I'm much more likely to get a duplicate to trade, but I'll need a trading partner before I can consider that helpful. Maybe I'll write up a post on the math of random packs one of these days. If you just can't wait for me, read up on the Coupon Collector's Problem,

Two Matt's don't make a right, I always say. Nor do two RGIIIs for that matter. London Fletcher was one of my favorite Rams, and I guess for awhile I thought he was much older when he played in St. Louis, because I would just be surprised every year he was still in the league. Even today, he's only 40.

I got another (now former) Ram in Jared Cook. I'll probably follow the players who were St. Louis Rams and hope they do well on their new teams, but I'm not so sure about the team itself in a year or two when a large majority of the players are new to the team in LA, like Jared Goff. It'll be interesting to see who the last St. Louis Ram standing is, in both LA and the NFL as a whole.


2013 NFL Teenymates
Cleveland, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, New York
Green Bay and Tampa were new, so I now need just 3 Running Backs; Seattle, Buffalo, and Houston.

2014 NFL Teenymates
Buffalo, Cleveland, Baltimore, Dallas
Cleveland and Dallas were new in this group, bringing my list down to 7.

This puzzle is now dangerously close to finished, with just 3 spots to go. The middle two pieces are the rest of the Teenymates name, and the piece at the bottom is Pittsburgh.

2014 puzzle progress
New England and New Orleans were new to my puzzle, and are keeping that Miami piece from hanging off in the ether. Nearly complete puzzles are much easier to move around and scan.

A Meta-Contest Win

Maybe this is more of a Contest Meta-Win. Why's that? Because I won third prize in Card Hobbyist's July Contest. The prize wasn't cards, but 3 entries in his August Contest, which I then won. As a result, I won the team of my choice in his 2013 Score Football box break. I chose the Rams, naturally, and here's who showed up.

2013 Score
#174 Lance Kendricks
#176 Isaiah Pead
#177 Daryl Richardson
#178 James Laurinaitis

I got both Rams RBs from the set, but neither of those guys made it very far into the season, especially once Zac Stacy came along. And I love that Lance Kendricks card with him in the throwback uniform.


2013 Score
#172 Sam Bradford
#173 Jared Cook
#175 Chris Givens

I mostly collect baseball cards, so the card of Jared Cook in a Titans uniform caught me off guard. Topps usually edits photos to show the new uniform if the player hasn't yet appeared in it.


2013 Score
Future Franchise #324 Chris Givens
Franchise #292 Sam Bradford
Airmail #246 Sam Bradford

At first I thought that was the same Chris Givens photo, but his left arm is in a slightly different position. The background certainly looks the same, so I'd say these were a fraction of a second apart. I also got 2 more Bradfords.


2013 Score - 2013 Rookies
#428 Tavon Austin
#335 Alec Ogletree

Here we have the Rams 2 first-round picks from the 2013 draft, both of whom have looked very promising so far.


2013 Score - Scorecard Parallel
#172 Sam Bradford

As far as I can tell, this parallel is only different from the original due to the shiny foil "Scorecard" printed on the right side of the photo. But still, another Bradford!


2013 Score - Hot Rookies
#8 Stedman Bailey
#30 Tavon Austin

More rookie cards, but actual insert cards this time. I'd like to know how the 00 photos came about, whether they're posed, manipulated, or there was really some workout where the rookies had double zero jerseys. Here we have our 2 West Virginia wide receivers, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.

Thanks to Patrick from The Card Hobbyist for the contest and the Rams cards.
