Before I begin ripping any packs I wanted to say, I am a lifelong Seahawks fan and I couldn't be more thrilled to see them back in the big game (with a bit of stress over which Russell Wilson is going to show up). Of course I am rooting for them and hope they take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I am picking them to win, but lets see what the sports card say.
It
is Super Bowl Sunday which means it is time for Sports Cards Super Bowl IV. I
decided to pick up two Championship Football repack boxes this year to get a
larger variety. I did pick up some additional 2013 products (Topps Magic and
Panini Contenders) as OT packs in case of a tie or low score.
In
total I will be opening 33 regular packs, 1 pack of 2012 Panini Football stickers and a number of Leaf Young Stars cards and inserts that were included in the boxes in penny sleeves. The
packs range from 2010 through 2013 so I am hoping for a nice selection of
current players. There are packs from Topps, Panini, Upper Deck, Leaf, SAGE and
Press Pass. Since there are college packs I will include any players drafted by
the Seahawks or Broncos.
This
is the fourth year that I am doing Sports Cards Super Bowl and so far the cards are a disappointing 1-2 as a predictor. Here are the previous
results:
The
scoring system will remain similar to previous years but this year I decided to
make some changes. Instead of separating rookies and veterans as two different scores
I am just going to go with the same score (3 points) for any player in a
Seahawks or Broncos uniform. I am also going to add in a Halftime to make tallying the score easier, this year it will be after the 16th pack.
This is the scoring system that I will use:
Extra
Point (1 pt.)- For random cards that could be a sign or superstitious
Field
Goal (3 pts.)- For any player from the Seahawks or Broncos
Touch
Down (7 pts.)- For any Hall of Fame player from the Seahawks or Broncos (or if they are a HOF lock)
TD
w/ 2pt Conversion (8 pts.)- For any autos or relics

After the Seahawks put up a couple of quick scores in the first half their offense goes lethargic while Peyton Manning and the Broncos heat up and come back strong in the third quarter before Seattle's Legion of Boom defense, led by Linebacker Bobby Wagner, shuts down Manning's air attack.
Man... I hope your cards are right. I'm already starting to get nervous. Should be a great game though. Go Hawks!
