Topps National Chicle: Packs 20, 21, and 22

There are only five packs left in the box - and a hit has already been found.  There can't possibly be TWO hits hiding in the box, especially since it's a retail box can there?  Let's crack open three more packs and see what happens...

Pack 20:
55.  Carl Crawford
67.  Mark Buehrle
83.  Brian Roberts
197.  Dan Haren
214.  Warren Spahn

133.  Andrew Bailey - Bazooka back

Well, it's not a hit, but the Bailey Bazooka back card is available for trade.  Otherwise, not a lot great in that particular pack!  I do like the Warren Spahn painting however - not for the likeness (or lack thereof) of Spahn, but rather for the stadium and flags in the background.  It makes Spahn look larger than life - and that's fairly fitting for a pitcher of his stature.


Pack 21:
2.  Grady Sizemore

23.  Shane Victorino
63.  Aramis Ramirez
72.  Jorge Posada
117.  Jason Marquis
225.  Mike Schmidt

I guess the Sizemore is the best card in the pack - but honestly, this pack sucked.  A pair of Phillies, a Yankee, no short prints or other inserts.  Yuck, yuck, and more yuck.  The only redeeming factor is that I needed these cards for my set that I've decided to try and put together...  One more pack for this post - could there be something good in this one?


Pack 22:
59.  Wandy Rodriguez
107.  Mark Teixeira
155.  Vernon Wells
174.  Marlon Byrd
187.  Joe Saunders
289.  Johnny Mize

Checklist 1
The Mize card is part of the Retired Stars Revisited short print subset.  It's a pretty boring painting but at least that's one fewer short print that I have to try and track down now!  


Overall, the three packs weren't terribly exciting - though the one short print did make me a bit happier than I was after opening packs 20 and 21.  There are only two packs left - and guesses on whether or not I managed to pull a second hit out of the retail box?
