Group Break: The Final Fifty Becomes the Final Ten!

As the title of the post suggests, we are down to the last ten packs in the group break...let's open up another five packs and see what goodies we can uncover as we near the end of the epic group break!

1997 Collector's Choice:
272.  Rafael Palmeiro - Orioles
278.  Reggie Jefferson - Red Sox
303.  Willie Greene - Reds
312.  Jack McDowell - Indians
331.  Derek Jeter - Yankees

335.  Brian Hunter - Tigers
341.  Moises Alou - Marlins
359.  Jose Offerman- Royals
380.  Brad Radke - Twins
389.  F.P. Santangelo - Expos
446.  John Flaherty - Padres
446.  John Flaherty - Padres (again)
453.  Rod Beck - Giants
14 of 45.  Juan Gonzalez - All-Star Connection - Rangers

1999 Pacific:
13.  Brian Anderson - Diamondbacks
88.  Mickey Morandini - Cubs
124.  Dave Burba - Indians
154.  Larry Walker - Rockies
211.  Jose Rosado - Royals

This pitch just looks painful!
304.  David Wells - Yankees
313.  A.J. Hinch - Athletics
325.  Bobby Estalella - Phillies
351.  Delino DeShields - Cardinals
436.  Roger Clemens - Blue Jays

2000 Fleer EX:

34.  J.D. Drew - Cardinals

42.  Gabe Kapler - Rangers

2003 Bazooka:
40.  Marty Cordova - Orioles
105.  Mark Buehrle - White Sox
213.  Joe Randa - Royals
232.  Callix Crabbe - Brewers

247.  Xavier Nady - Padres
198.  Shea Hillenbrand - Mini - Red Sox
213.  Joe Randa - Silver Chunk - Royals
It's a Randa hot pack!
13 of 24.  Randy Johnson - Bazooka Comic - Diamondbacks

Still no third relic out of the box...with only one pack left, it better be in there...  Of course, I don't know what I can do about it if it isn't, I'm guessing Topps doesn't care about missing hits from a product seven years ago.  As far as the group break goes, it's less of a problem since we got a hit out of the Cracker Jack AND a really rare relic out of the EX box that was completely unexpected!

2004 Cracker Jack:
4.  Anderson - Angels
7.  Kent - Astros
89.  Catalanotto - Blue Jays
106. Finley - Diamondbacks
118.  Erstad - Angels
140.  Schilling - Diamondbacks
159.  Martinez - Mariners
135.  Klesko - Blue Mini - Padres

Seeded 1:10 cards, this is the blue parallel version of the regular mini set.
Secret Pack:
Checklist 1 of 2
58.  Walker - Sticker Mini - Rockies

Well, nothing extra special in that batch of cards (though the blue Klesko mini was pretty nice).  Only five packs remain - hard to believe how far we've gone in a short amount of time!
