2005 Upper Deck All-Star Classics - Pack 01

It's time to kick off the group break with a teaser pack!

Note:  You have until tonight to actually join the group break and submit payment - check out the original sign-up post for full details and for available teams!

2005 Upper Deck All-Star Classics:
Pack 01:

3.  Alfonso Soriano  (Rangers)

13.  Eric Gagne  (Dodgers)

The backs of the cards feature player statistics, a team logo, and a write-up of what makes that player an All-Star!
34.  Miguel Tejada (Orioles)

38.  Randy Johnson (Yankees)

66.  Johan Santana (Twins)

74.  Ryan Howard (Phillies)

77.  Bill Mazeroski (Pirates)

94.  Ozzie Smith (Cardinals)

And we are off with the group break! 

The 2005 All-Star Classic packs offer a few different inserts that are seeded one-per-box along with two relics per box and the possibility of a "Midsummer Patch" numbered to 25.  There is a nice mix of (then) current All-Star players, future All-Stars (which this pack nailed with Santana and Howard) and some of the greatest All-Stars of all time (again, this pack nailed with Mazeroski and Ozzie Smith)! 

I, for one, love old time players in my baseball card sets so this set is an instant favorite of mine - and I had never even heard of the set until I found the boxes for my group break!  As always, more pack breaks will be coming - this is a tease for those who were on the fence about signing up.  The pack breaks will begin in earnest tomorrow morning.  And remember, for your $20.00, you'll get all the cards of the team you claimed from five different boxes spanning over a decade of baseball cards (which should ensure a nice mixture of players for all the teams, including some of the old-time greats from the All-Star classics packs)!   Remember, to sign up go to the original sign-up page and claim an unclaimed team!
