Tier One Group Break: Tier One Box #4 (and Group Break Standings)

We already pulled a Top Tier Autograph - are there other goodies still lurking in the unopened boxes?  Let's find out.

Base:
59.  Felix Hernandez - Mariners #700/799
100.  Eric Hosmer - Royals #117/799
22.  Jim Palmer - Orioles #232/799

Parallel:
24.  Rickey Henderson - Athletics #101/199

Crowd Pleaser Autograph:
CP-TC.  Trevor Cahill - Athletics #474/699

On The Rise Autograph:
OR-DG.  Dee Gordon - Dodgers #536/999

Relic: 
TSR39.  Paul O'Neil - Dual Relic (Parallel):  #58/99

The dual swatch parallels are seeded 1:6 boxes.  If we get lucky, we might find a triple swatch parallel as well (seeded 1:21 boxes).  Still not a single Reds card to be found in the Tier One packs, that's disappointing for me.  I really want to at least get the Barry Larkin base card...but no such luck thus far.  Still two more boxes to go though - so we'll see!  It's also a little bit lame to get two Paul O'Neil relics in four boxes isn't it?  (Not for John who has the Yankees in the break of course, but for everyone else?)

In other questions:
Does anyone find it odd that the On the Rise autographs are actually numbered higher than the regular base cards?  I understand why that is, but still, it just seems wrong doesn't it?

Finally, here's the updated standings for the group break so far:

You'll notice only Colbey and myself have been completely shut out of the Topps Tier One break so far.  That's lame for both of us - so I'm hoping the next box has at least one Red and Brave in it so that we all get something out of the half case!

So far, I'd say that John is the big winner with three (yes, three out of the four) relics so far being Yankees.  John, Tunguska, and apba66and0 each have a pair of autographs from the Tier One boxes as well - obviously a really nice break for their collective teams!  It's also interesting to note that some of the unclaimed teams have provided some nice cards - including the Athletics with an autograph, base card, and a parallel already!

Two Tier One boxes left - plus a few more Ginter packs...what else might we find?

  1. Can a brother get a Brooks Robinson??? Or Cal? I'm glad I finally landed at least one Oriole so far, though...

  2. I can't believe not one single Brave has shown up yet in the Tier One boxes!
