A number of people asked me to update the group scoreboard - seeing how there was such interest, I've decided to do one better: I'm going to show off the best card, worst card, plus any interesting cards (in my eyes at least) of all the group break slots, one at a time.
The Floridians (Expos and Nationals)
Claimed by Natscards
Best card(s):
The Fleer EX box produced a lot of great cards, including the best for the Canadian Beltway slot - card #7 of Vladimir Guerrero.
Worst card(s):
The worst card for this slot isn't a card at all - in fact, the worst part was the complete absence of any National cards. Since the Nationals were an official team in 2005, there wasn't a chance of pulling any Nats given that the boxes were all pre-2005. In my eyes, the Canadian Beltway slot was rather unimpressive, and so I took the liberty to add another 20+ cards to the pile, including a couple of mini cards that hopefully will make Natscards happy! I enjoy hosting group breaks, but I want to make sure to do everything I can to provide "value" for each slot that people buy. Obviously, the nature of the group break means that you are gambling a little bit hoping for a certain hit or something, but I always hate spending my money on group breaks and getting almost nothing back in return. My sincere hope is that with the extras I added in, the Canadian Beltway slot ends up making Natscards happy despite not pulling anything spectacular out of the boxes.
Card(s) of interest:
1999 Pacific (#268) - Carl Pavano. I already talked about this card in the individual group break packs, but i really like the odd colors behind Pavano. It reminds me of fall!
Final Tally (after all non-insert duplicates removed - not counting the 20+ "bonus cards" that I've added in):
Base: 24
Inserts/Short Prints/Parallels: 2
Relics/Autos: 0

This is Jonathan from NatsCards. I was already pretty happy since these covered an era that's severely lacking in my collection, but the bonus cards were an awesome little addition. I appreciate it!
