Group Break #6: Four More Packs of Gallery

At this point, it appears the group break will wrap up either tomorrow or Friday at the latest.  At that point, I'll start packaging up all the cards and hitting up the post office.  Everyone should have their cards by mid-week next week if all goes well!  Before we get to that point though, we've got to finish opening up the packs.  So far, we've found 3 serially numbered cards, 3 relics, and one autographed mini helmet.  What other goodies are in store?

2000 Topps Gallery:
Packs 16, 17, 18, & 19:


1.  Nomar Garciaparra - Red Sox

4.  Rusty Greer - Rangers
7.  Carlos Beltran - Royals
15.  Craig Biggio - Astros
16.  Chipper Jones - Braves

23.  Carlos Delgado - Blue Jays
30.  Manny Ramirez - Indians
33.  Darin Erstad - Angels
34.  Tim Hudson - Athletics
35.  Sammy Sosa - Cubs

Unfortunately, one of the packs had a small bit of damage to all the cards in it.  You can see the slight indentation at the top of the Sosa card, that happened to a few different cards in this grouping.
36.  Jason Kendall - Pirates
40.  Mike Piazza - Mets
51.  Barry Bonds - Giants
58.  Roger Clemens - Yankees

108.  Player's Private Issue:  Mike Piazza - Mets (#ed 050/250)

The sequentially numbered Player's Private Issue cards are seeded 1:20 packs (meaning this is essentially a box hit!)  The Mets now join the Red Sox, Dodgers, and Yankees as the teams with a serially numbered card.  The serial stamping is in gold foil on the back of the card by the way.
