Group Break #6: 2003 Topps 205: Packs 10 & 11 (Another Rare Hit!)

The Topps 205 box has relics seeded at an overall rate of 1 in 12 packs.  Now that we've opened up 11 packs, we found one of those hits!  Since the box contains only twenty packs, if we have a little bit of luck we'll end up with two relics.  It's always nice to pull one relic sort of early when you are hoping to beat the odds!

2003 Topps 205:

Packs 10 & 11:

19.  Carlos Delgado - Blue Jays

38.  Tim Hudson - Athletics

39.  Tim Salmon - Angels

51.  Sammy Sosa - Cubs

53.  Craig Biggio - Astros

59.  Barry Zito - Athletics 

61.  Carlos Beltran - Royals

107.  Phil Nevin - Padres

117.  Ken Griffey Jr. - Reds

123.  Rocco Baldelli - Rays

124.  Joe Borchard - White Sox

140.  Joey Gomes - Rays

Folder:  Posada & Clemens (Yankees)

It's only fair that the Yankees get one of these folder cards to themselves after having to share three previous folders with other teams.  

Minis:

50.  Alex Rodriguez - Rangers (Polar Bear)

108.  Roy Oswalt - Astros (Polar Bear)

A couple of common minis - at least they each of pretty good players.  The Oswalt is the first insert for the Astros - I always like when all the teams end up with something besides base cards!

And finally, the relic:

TR-PM.  Game-Worn Jersey Card - Pedro Martinez - Red Sox

Pedro Martinez belongs to group relic group F in the set (he's the only one in that group).  Group F relics are seeded 1:608 packs!!  This is a huge pickup for the Red Sox based on those odds!  It also means that for two consecutive group breaks I've managed to pull a card with odds rarer than 1:500 packs!
