One more time for the people stumbling in on this at the last minute. I'm opening a box of 2007 '52 Rookies. I'll be listing the pack contents and a scan live. Keep hitting F5 to refresh and see the new packs as I post them.
In these packs I'm going to sneak in four cards from the 2006 set, if you spot them and leave the first comment pointing it out (for example: Pack 4 - Hanley Ramirez) you win a prize. If you make a guess here, you're ineligible for the "guess the rip time" contest which is closed now anyway. It's that simple.
Here are the Rules, here are the Prizes. There might even be some online help. Now we're ready to open this box. Box ripping is at 10:00pm Eastern time, 7:00 Pacific. Be there or be
ALMOST THERE!!!!
I've got the scanner ready, the decoys scanned, an energy drink ready to chug, Hendrix on the radio, and the box ready to rip. Not long now...
All right...
On your mark...
Get set...
RIP!!!!

Thanks for playing, everyone. The winners should e-mail me using this address. Or just check my profile. I'll need to know which prize you want and a shipping address. Thanks again everybody! I think we got a record for comments on this blog!

Do you rip packs in the order pulled from the box from top to bottom, bottom to top, or some other twisted method?
Thanks for the video. I saw this last year and it is possibly the coolest use of internet video and the most impressive feat in video gaming. Everybody could run with the Raiders, but not like that!
Top to Bottom. Not long now folks...
Oh and for clarification, your guess at the time it takes to rip the box is only nullified if you make a guess in these comments. If you want to heckle, but not take a guess at the 2006 cards, feel free. You'll still be entered in the time contest.
this all seemed simpler in my head when I thought it up...
I'm here! Let the pigeons loose!
I should have played the odds and just made a stab at the time portion of the contest... but I wanted to be here when you pull a chrome Ross Wolf.

Not enough Reds! I will boycott all future openings until you guarantee more Reds.
sweet!
always a blast man...
and I never have that kind of luck in my boxes.... only you....
Rip start - 6:56pm Rip end - 7:19pm. Final time of the rip is 23 minutes. I thought blogger posted the seconds too, but hopefully there won't be a tie.
Nice break. I should get partial credit for catching Amos Day instead of Dewon Day. :)
Lookie here, A Pack A Day regular won the time contest. CONSPIRACY!!!
Thorzul wins with his guess of 23:15.
Posting the rest of the winners now, guys.
I was hoping the misspelling of Dorta was a trick and you had to spell it right to win....and I was the only one to spell it right....oh well
Nope, I'm just an idiot... Sorry 'bout that.
I'm going to go cry myself to sleep. not really.
Next time... a new and improved strategy.
