"Double Inserts" Group Break: 1999 Collector's Choice Pack 09

Double Inserts

1999 Collector's Choice
Pack 09

2.  Jin Ho Cho (Red Sox)

Another Red Sox player of which I know nothing about. 
20.  Kevin Witt (Blue Jays)
42.  Chipper Jones (Braves)
48.  Chuck Finley (Angels)
58.  Cal Ripken Jr. (Orioles)
It seems like I've scanned a Ripken Jr. card in every pack..so no scans for Cal this time around!
66.  Kerry Wood (Cubs)

Every time I see a card of Kerry Wood I think of Dusty Baker...and Aroldis Chapman...and I get nervous...
109.  Rondell White (Expos)
117.  David Wells (Yankees)
123.  Ben Grieve (Athletics)
138.  Bill Mueller (Giants)
SQ15.  Nomar Garciaparra - * StarQuest (Red Sox)

Y5.  Sammy Sosa - Yardwork (Cubs)

The Yardwork insert cards are seeded 1:13 packs, meaning you can expect 2 or 3 per box.  That's actually fairly rare, especially for a product designed for the younger demographic.  The front of the Yardwork cards feature a borderless picture with a gaudy gold foil sidebar featuring the player's name and team.  The back of the card features a date in which the player in question had something memorable happen.  In this case, 9-25-98, the day that Sammy Sosa briefly led Mark McGwire in the homerun race (which he held for all of 46 minutes)!  Very cool card, especially considering the unique information on the back.
