"Mini Hit!" Group Break: 1998 Collector's Choice - Pack 12

Mini Hit!

1998 UD Collector's Choice
Pack 12

20.  Checklist (Red Sox)
Features a Red Sox and a Blue Jay in the photos - since no one claimed the Jays, this will count as a Red Sox card.
37.  Randall Simon (Braves)

AKA:  Sausage beater extroidinaire.
38.  Mark Wohlers (Braves)
77.  Brian Giles (Indians)
79.  Orel Hershiser (Indians)
121.  Jason Varitek (Red Sox)
A nice card of Varitek, one of the better players in the Rookie Class subset.
130.  Craig Biggio (Astros)

Check out the lense on Biggio's camera on the back of the card.  I doubt it's actually his camera since he is in the dugout in full uniform - but still, it's a unique shot.
166.  Vladimir Guerrero (Expos)
180.  Tino Martinez (Yankees)
188.  Brad Ausmus (Astros)
201.  Bobby Estalella (Phillies)
203.  Midre Cummings (Phillies)
Man, the Phillies mark the fourth team in the pack that got two cards in the single pack!
SQ26.  Edgar Martinez - StarQuest Special Delivery (Mariners)

SQ51.  Roberto Alomar - StarQuest Students of the Game (Orioles)

The StarQuest Students of the Game cards were inserted 1:21 packs - which means this is essentially a one-per-box insert!  Unlike the rest of the cards in the set, the Students of the Game insert set features a shiny, metallic finish (the scan doesn't do the card justice, it's much brighter in person with the light reflecting off the card).  The back of the card, however, looks much like the "regular" StarQuest cards.  Even so, it's a cool card - and certainly an eye-catcher after opening 11 packs full of cards without any type of foil on 'em (besides the anti-counterfeit seal of course).
