I've been meaning to put out this puzzle all year, but I've kind of been slow at getting around to doing the work. In fact, I didn't even finish the work, as I didn't get the cacher names on all the cards. I hope to do that by the 15th of the month. If you're in a hurry, you'll just have to figure out that information for yourself. I was going to replace the San Francisco Giants on all the cards with Bay Area Puzzlers or some such, but that's too much work; so this cache will also be a tribute to the current local team's World Championship run. 2010 Collector cards come three to a pack and feature the top Puzzle Challenge finders of the last season. Collect the whole set!

Special Notes about the 2010 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with certitude. Because certitude may not properly account for joint solutions, please email me team member names in the case of team solutions to ensure proper point accounting. All "point" scoring is arbitrary anyway, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want your name announced more prominently at the December banquet). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Cache area is only open from sunrise to one hour after sunset. Note that newer browsers will no longer load the images onto this page; so now you will have to click on a link, which has not been reviewed by Groundspeak. I represent that this link is my website and safe to click on.
