Case #6, Box #7

Jeffrey Popick Blue /500
Taylor Ard Blue /500
Patrick Merkling Orange /250
Yoenis Cespedes Rookie Refractor /300
Alfredo Rodriguez Blue Refractor /250
Richie Shaffer Best Die Cut Refractor /99
Paul Blackburn Blue Refractor Auto 134/150

Grade: B
Comments: My feeling was just one box too early. Nice to get a blue refractor, but this wasn’t my ideal subject. I’m hoping there’s one more colored auto hit in this case. Interestingly, Blackburn’s serial number was pretty high, high enough to eliminate all the contestants who made predictions under 125. Two contestants picked 125, so they now lead. If they should hold onto the lead throughout the remaining 4.5 cases, the Monday night football game will break the tie.
