Topps Lineage Group Break: Box 2 - Packs 3 and 4

We are cruising right along.  Two more packs for dinner time!

Box 2 - Pack 3:

38.  Chris Carpenter - Cardinals
47.  Lance Berkman - Cardinals
50.  Lou Gehrig - Yankees
58.  Gordon Beckham - White Sox
81.  Andruw Jones - Yankees
150.  Robinson Cano - Yankees
155.  Bob Gibson - Cardinals
TCS16.  Cloth Stickers:  Nolan Ryan - Rangers

It's packs like that one that make it seem like Topps is entirely too focused on a small number of teams.  I'm not sure you should ever pull three cards of two different teams in an eight card pack.  I would have been pissed if I bought this pack at a hobby store for five bucks (except for the cloth sticker Nolan Ryan, that more or less makes up for the terrible collation).  Of course, if I were a Cardinals or Yankees fan (I don't think I could stomach either team), I would be quite happy!

Beauty is in the eye of the pack-holder as they say.

Box 2 - Pack 4:

63.  Ubaldo Jimenez - Rockies
77.  David Wright - Mets
86.  Carlos Gonzalez - Rockies
137.  Johnny Bench - Reds
Sweetness!
143.  Miguel Cabrera - Tigers
196.  Ichiro - Mariners
2 of 20:  2011 Rookies:  Chris Sale - White Sox

131.  Diamond parallel:  Carlos Lee - Astros
