Tier One Group Break: Allen & Ginter - Packs 13 - 16

We are flying through the Allen & Ginter box - in fact, the last batch of Ginter packs took us to the halfway mark of the box.  Unfortunately, we still haven't found any of the promised hits - though we did land a rather rare no numbered mini card (and of a good player no less)!  Check back in the archives in case you missed that.  Now, it's on to packs 13 - 16.

Pack 13:
A Matt Kemp Hometown Heroes card (Dodgers) and a Lars Anderson ad back mini (Red Sox) were the two highlights.

Pack 14:
This Ryan Zimmerman short print was the only non-base card of note.

 Pack 15:
Our first hit!  However, this one is going to me as it's one of the rarer non-baseball player relics and I didn't previously own it!  It's a sweet, sweet jersey card of Heather Mitts and is easily one of my favorite cards that I've pulled this year!  At this point, the Ginter prize box is a complete success for me!   For the record, if, somehow, the other two hits in the box are also ones that I need I'll try to add in a few hits for teams that didn't get any out of my own collection.  To be honest, I didn't expect that I'd get a single hit that I needed so I'm obviously pleased already (and there should be two hits remaining in the box).  Oh yeah, other cards of note in the pack were a Justin Upton (Diamondbacks) Hometown Heroes card and an Austin Jackson regular back mini (Tigers).

Pack 16:
A Jason Castro (Astros) short print and a David Wright (Mets) Hometown Heroes card are the highlights here.  I'm still too pumped at pulling the Mitts relic to really care what was in this pack!
