The Ridiculous Tournament Round 2 Wrap Up

Below is a list of the 64 cards that survived the first two rounds of The Red Cardboard Ridiculous Card Tournamet. 512 cards, hand-picked, whittled down to 128, then to 64. Only the slickest cards could make it and we have a solid hexacontatetrad to represent my first year or so of diving back into the collecting world in earnest. I've gathered so many more great cards since the initial 512 pulls, so perhaps they'll be honored in a future stupid tournament. But that's a long time from now.

If this is the type of nonsense you care about, here are the top seeds, stat breakdowns, and the master list (ranked based mostly on how the voting has gone). Go Reds.

The Top 4:

Big Red Machine. No Doubt.
