Group Break #5: 1993 Upper Deck - Jumbo Pack and Group Break Update!

First up, let's bust another jumbo pack of Upper Deck.  Then, after the cards are sorted, I'm going to update the group break statistics so that everyone can see the (unofficial) totals!

1993 Upper Deck:
Jumbo pack 6:


Roberto Hernandez - White Sox
Kent Mercker - Braves
Willie Wilson - Athletics
Darryl Kile - Astros
Kelly Gruber - Blue Jays
Kevin Tapani - Twins
Rich Rodriguez - Padres
Steve Olin - Indians
Cory Snyder - Giants
Ellis Burks - Red Sox
Jaime Navarro - Brewers
Ellis Burks - Red Sox
Ray Lankford - Cardinals
Phil Plantier - Red Sox
Mike Magnante - Royals
Jody Reed - Red Sox
Robby Thompson - Giants
Carlos Hernandez - Dodgers
Mike Felder - Giants
Pat Howell - Mets
Matt Williams - Giants
Derek Lilliquist - Indians
Dan Smith - Rangers
Community Heroes:  Nolan Ryan - Rangers

Bob Walk - Pirates
Star Rookie:  Mike Piazza - Dodgers

HR18.  Homerun Heroes:  Terry Pendleton - Braves

And with that, let's take a look at the unofficial group break standings (they are unofficial because I can't guarantee I didn't forget to mark down a card with my little hash mark system).
What observations can I make thus far?
For starters, other than the Rays, every team has done ok.  Some teams have been surprisingly high in terms of total cards (most notably the Athletics and Indians) while others have been rather low (Mariners and Cubs are two obvious choices).  Some teams, such as the aforementioned Rays, along with the Marlins, Diamondbacks, and Rockies have a big disadvantage in total number of cards because they aren't part of the 1993 Upper Deck set.  However, the Marlins have already picked up a serially-numbered card so that's probably a fair trade-off for Florida!
