Alright, we've had a pair of preview packs with the sole purpose of getting all the team slots claimed. As of the moment I'm writing this post (by now you know that I try to work ahead), I haven't even posted the first of the two previews so I have no idea if all the teams are claimed or not. As such, let's start with a box that I know will be in the group break - 1993 Upper Deck.
The Upper Deck packs happen to be jumbo packs - 27 cards per pack! Usually, whenever I do a group break I always put the cards in order before I list them on the blog (only to then mess them back up when I sort them by team). I guess it's the OCD in me... That said, I don't think I'll bother to order the Upper Deck cards, I'll just list 'em any which way - but I will put the insert at the bottom just to give you a reason to scroll all the way down.
1993 Upper Deck:
Pack 1:
39. Community Heroes: Dave Stewart - Athletics
There are a few subsets in the 1993 set, the Community Heroes and the Star Rookies both occur at the beginning of the set. I happen to like the Community Heroes cards quite a bit, in fact, I remember loving these as a kid simply because they were different from so many of my other cards (the highlight the player's involvement in the community rather than on the baseball diamond).
267. Wes Chamberlain - Phillies
242. Danny Tartabull - Yankees
276. Ben McDonald - Orioles
182. Mike Moore - Athletics
94. Luis Sojo - Angels
128. Mark Langston - Angels
312. Alan Mills - Orioles
408. Frank Castillo - Cubs
80. Rick Sutcliffe - Orioles
88. Mark Lewis - Indians
The 93 Upper Deck is a fan favorite for good reason - many of the photos are excellent (both on the front and back of the cards). Take, for example, this Mark Lewis card. He gets a hilarious shot of him on a temporary toilet in the middle of the dugout (complete with photoshopped Upper Deck logo) while the back of the card shows Lewis throwing a baseball in such a way that it's a wonder his arm didn't snap off.
419. Willie Randolph - Mets
395. Doug Henry - Brewers
354. Reggie Sanders - Reds
311. Jeff Parrett - Athletics
328. Ricky Bones - Brewers
208. Scott Scudder - Indians
216. Chris Hammond - Reds
267. Wes Chamberlain - Phillies (again)
235. Chad Curtis - Angels
146. Ozzie Smith - Cardinals
Unlike Gypsy Queen, Ozzie wasn't a retired star in 1993 - he was an actual star!
188. Rene Gonzales - Angels
159. Steve Buechele - Cubs
141. Dave Fleming - Mariners
72. Hipolito Pichardo - Royals
5. Star Rookie - Manny Alexander - Orioles
HR20. Homerun Heroes: Ray Lankford - Cardinals
The Homerun Heroes cards have an slightly raised bat at the bottom of the card where the player's name is printed. It's just enough of a difference from the regular base cards to feel a bit special (literally feel in this case)!
