It's time to bust open another box and see what it holds - next up is 1997 Upper Deck Collector's Choice - Series 2. This box contains 36 packs (14 cards per pack) meaning it is chock full of baseball cards! For the first pack, I'll scan each and every card...but probably not for the remaining 35 packs (I'll just scan the interesting ones instead)!
According to the pack wrapper, we can expect to find the following:
All-Star Connection (1:1)
You Crash the Game (1:5)
You Crash the Game Instant Win (1:721)
Big Shots (1:12)
Big Shots - Gold Signature Edition (1:144)
Toast of the Town (1:35)
New Frontier - Interleague Challenge (1:69)
As you can see, there is at least one insert per pack - so this should be fun for everyone! Let's crack open the first pack and see what happens!
Pack 01:
302. Bret Boone - Reds
314. Chad Curtis - Indians
318. Bill Swift - Rockies
322. Mark Thompson - Rockies
324. Todd Jones - Tigers
330. Mark McGwire - Athletics
344. Alex Fernandez - Marlins
356. Tom Goodwin - Royals
410. Jose Canseco - Athletics
452. Jose Vizcaino - Giants
473. Pat Cline - Cubs
478. Lee Tinsley - Mariners
484. Russ Davis - Mariners
36 of 45. Greg Maddux - All-Star Connection - Braves
Another nice pack, we are only two packs into the group break and already most teams have a card (some have multiple cards already). Couple that with the two inserts so far and things have gotten off to a fast, fun start! Of course, there are plenty more packs to come - so if your team hasn't yet made an appearance, I'm sure it will soon!

| This is a card from the subset - "Ken Griffey Jr's Hot List". Unlike the regular base cards, the subset has a foil-esque background. The back of the card, however, looks the same as any other card. |
344. Alex Fernandez - Marlins
356. Tom Goodwin - Royals
410. Jose Canseco - Athletics
 |
| Base cards of star players feature a full frame photo instead of the typical white border. When looking at the set in binder pages, the star players really stand out nicely! |
452. Jose Vizcaino - Giants
473. Pat Cline - Cubs
478. Lee Tinsley - Mariners
484. Russ Davis - Mariners

| As you can see, there are a fair number of horizontal cards as well as vertical cards. |
 |
| These aren't too bad of a card considering they are one per pack. A heckuva lot better than the Topps Town crap that Topps has used lately in its base sets! |
