24 Packs in 24 Hours: 1999 Pacific - Pack 18

Another pack of Pacific, but this one helped the box beat the odds big time!

Pack 18:
86.  Lance Johnson - Cubs
97.  Albert Belle - White Sox
134.  Manny Ramirez - Indians
It sure seems like I have about 4 or 5 of this Manny card so far.  It might not really be that bad....but it certainly seems like it!  I guess the good news (for me) is that it will save a bit on shipping costs to not mail all the duplicates out - though to be fair, I'll still be mailing some duplicates to people, plus ALL duplicates of inserts, should that occur.
177.  Livan Hernandez - Marlins
199.  Kevin Appier - Royals

I'm finding it difficult to keep track of which teams I scan cards for and which I haven't lately.  I always try to scan the "interesting" cards, regardless of team - but I know when I watch read other people's group breaks, I still like to see the occassional base card of my team.  If you feel your team isn't getting enough scanning "love" let me know and I'll see what I can do.
310.  Jason Giambi - Athletics
324.  Rico Brogna - Phillies
382.  Brian Johnson - Giants
422.  Royce Clayton - Rangers
19.  Roger Clemens - Pacific Gold Crown Die-Cuts - Blue Jays

Wow, the second Gold Crown card out of the box!  That's impressive considering the Gold Crown cards are seeded 1 in 37 packs (which means less than one per box given that the box only has 36 packs).  This is clearly the highlight of the pack, and perhaps the box, so far.
