Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news.
Good news: I'm fairly confident that the last pack with only four cards wasn't shorted our hit.
Bad news: This pack also only has four (instead of the promised five) cards.
It's not often that I'm happy to be shorted a card in a pack, but since this happened in back-to-back packs, I'm pretty sure we just got crappy collation rather than missing hits (though we still haven't found a hit in the lumber packs)... As a group break host, I would hate it if we didn't get at least what we were promised in terms of hits - and of course, I'd prefer we end up with extras like we have in the last couple of breaks I've hosted.
Anyhow, let's get to the neutered pack:
2003 Fleer Showcase:
Pack 3 (Lumber):
10. Bartolo Colon - White Sox
12. Matt Morris - Cardinals
21. Paul Konerko - White Sox
34. Sammy Sosa - Cubs
Well, that was a Chicago-heavy pack wasn't it? At first, I thought the Nationals/Expos slot finally got their first card of the break - but I go by the team listed on the card and although Colon is pictured as an Expo, it's clearly labeled as a White Sox card. I guess the wait for the Nationals/Expos and the Mariners will continue for at least one more pack!

As the unfortunate Expos guy, "that figures."
