"Hit Me" Group Break: 1999 UD Collector's Choice - Pack 04

1999 UD Collector's Choice
Pack 04
"Hit Me"

5.  Bruce Chen (Braves)
19.  Carlos Guillen (Mariners)
44.  Nomar Garciaparra (Red Sox)
54.  Andres Galarraga (Braves)
57.  Javier Lopez (Braves)

70.  Albert Belle (White Sox)
73.  Sean Casey (Reds)
124.  Scott Rolen (Phillies)
128.  Jason Kendall (Pirates)

This was a decent pack for catchers!
135.  Trevor Hoffman (Padres)
SQ21.  Cal Ripken Jr. - * StarQuest (Orioles)

Another Ripken card - I think having the Orioles in any late 90s group break is a good idea!
25 of 30.  Barry Bonds - Mini Bobbing-Head (Giants)

The mini bobbing-head (actual name) cards are seeded 1 in 5 packs.  They were apparently a big deal in 1999 though since the front of the Collector's Choice packet includes a logo stating "look for mini bobbing-head cards inside."  Of course, in hind sight, the "mini bobbing-head" cards are amongst the most ironic cards...especially for some of the sluggers like Bonds!
Ken Griffey Jr junk card (Mariners)
Join the Collectors Club junk card

In the spirit of poker, the "hit me" pack was chock full of cards going into different people's piles.  In fact, only the Hoffman (Padres) is from an unclaimed team!  That's the kind of pack I like - everyone wins...and I don't get stuck with a big pile of cards of teams I don't collect.
