Group Break: The Final 50: Packs 21 - 25 (Another Hit Found!)

Hopefully everyone has enjoyed the group break thus far - I know I have.  I may be to the point where I'm getting tired of typing up every single card...but we are almost done so hang in there!  Let's get to it:

1997 Collector's Choice:
271.  Mike Mussina - Orioles
293.  Dave Martinez - White Sox
317.  Kirt Manwaring - Rockies
328.  Frank Thomas - White Sox

This is easily the best card out of the pack!
336.  Brain Johnson - Tigers
341.  Moises Alou - Marlins
342.  Jim Eisenreich - Marlins
406.  Mariano Duncan - Yankees
419.  Mike Lieberthal - Phillies
451.  Tim Worrell - Padres
477.  Eli Marrero - Cardinals
479.  Jamie Moyer - Mariners
496.  Orlando Merced - Blue Jays
31 of 45.  Mark Grudzielanek - All-Star Connection - Expos

Not much exciting in that pack - in fact, I'd say it was a dull little pack.  Oh well - in a box of 36 packs, they can't all be winners now can they?

1999 Pacific:
18.  Omar Daal - Diamondbacks
30.  Ozzie Guillen - Braves

I had no idea that Guillen was ever a Brave!
124.  Dave Burba - Indians
196.  Russ Johnson - Astros
213.  Larry Sutton - Royals
225.  Raul Mondesi - Dodgers
259.  Shane Andrews - Expos
296.  Mike Lowell - Yankees
302.  Tim Raines - Yankees
332.  Scott Rolen - Phillies

2000 Fleer EX:
3.  Mike Piazza - Mets

14.  Sammy Sosa - Cubs

46.  Sean Casey - Reds

Three nice cards, but unfortunately, there was a bit of peeling going on with some of them.

2003 Bazooka:
10.  Hideo Nomo - Dodgers
22.  Mark Prior - Cubs
50.  Kirk Saarloos - Astros
156.  Kris Benson - Pirates
170.  Miguel Tejada - Athletics
212.  Matthew Hagen - Mariners
126.  Jay Gibbons - Mini - Orioles
PA-MO.  Magglio Ordonez - Piece of Americana - White Sox

Magglio is part of Group E and is therefore seeded at 1 in every 36 packs.  While not the rarest of the possible relics, it's still a pretty nice pull...and a hit for a team that up until now, didn't have one!  There should still be one more hit in the Bazooka box if the stated odds hold true - who will it be?  Only one way to find out - stay tuned!

2004 Topps Cracker Jack:
8.  Ordonez - White Sox
43.  Helton - Rockies
90.  Willis - Marlins

94.  Jones - Twins
99.  Sanders - Cardinals
129.  Padilla - Phillies
161.  Batista - Expos
57.  Damon - Mini - Red Sox
Secret Pack:
Checklist 1 of 2
120.  Martinez - Sticker Mini - Red Sox

And with that, there are only 25 packs remaining to be opened in the group break!  As it stands, we should get one more relic (from the Bazooka box) but we already are "even" in terms of hits since we got a non-guaranteed relic out of the Cracker Jack box earlier in the group break.  There will be more packs coming later today, so stay tuned!
