Group Break #5: 1999 UD HoloGrFX - Pack 5

At this point in the group break, every team except the White Sox, Padres, and Rays has at least one card.  At the conclusion of this pack, the same three teams will still be shutout - but one of the teams will land its first insert card...who will it be?

1999 UD HoloGrFX:
Pack 5:


24.  Manny Ramirez - Indians

In my Gypsy Queen break, the Indians had a terrible showing...they are more than making up for that with this break thus far!
51.  Bernie Williams - Yankees

It must be fun to be a Yankee collector when group breaks come around, it seems like the Yankees are consistently near the top in cool cards (and in raw number of cards).
L15.  Launchers:  Jeff Bagwell - Astros

Congratulations to the Astros as they pick up their first insert of the group break (to go along with their three base cards thus far).  The Launcher insert cards are seeded 1:4 packs (there are 15 total cards in the set).  If the odds hold true, we should land 9 of the 15 Launchers before the box is finished.  I happen to like the Launcher cards quite a bit - and so, I have to hope there is a Red on one of them (and that I am able to pull said Red)!


As for the rest of the teams, the Angels lead all teams with eight base cards (the Orioles, Indians, and Phillies all have seven base cards).  The Phillies have also landed an insert/parallel so they are tied with the Angels for the overall card lead.  We've only busted a total of 12 packs, so those are impressive numbers.  We've also found two serially-numbered cards thus far (one for the Marlins, one for the Expos/Nationals).
