Group Break: 1999 Flair Showcase - Packs 7, 8, 9, and 10

I'm trying to speed the break up a bit by busting more packs per post.  It does mean each post takes longer to write...but the sooner I bust all the packs, the sooner I can mail the cards out!  Once again, a big thanks is in order to Baseball Card Exchange which sponsored this break.


Pack 7:
Seat 3 - Row 33.  Eric Chavez - Athletics
Seat 3 - Row 77.  Henry Rodriguez - Cubs
Seat 3 - Row 97.  Alex Gonzalez - Marlins
Seat 2 - Row 39.  Peter Tucci - Padres
Seat 1 - Row 112.  Andy Pettitte - Yankees #0802 of 6000

Another nice card for the Yankees!  This is their sixth individual pack win of the break.  I'm fairly certain there are a lot of Yankee collectors out there who would love to own this card though - probably the best Yankee card pulled so far.

Pack 8:
Seat 3 - Row 2.  Sammy Sosa - Cubs
Seat 3 - Row 79.  Andres Galarraga - Braves
Seat 2 - Row 95.  Dustin Hermanson - Nationals
Seat 2 - Row 110.  Brett Tomko - Reds
Seat 1 - Row 6.  J.D. Drew - Cardinals #0064 of 1500

Wow, two packs and two serially numbered cards...both of which are really quite nice.  Besides the Drew, this pack also boasted a pair of parallels (including one for the Reds - yay!).  However, the Cardinals are the big winner here with their second serially numbered card of the break (tying them with the Tigers for the current lead in that category).

Pack 9:
Seat 3 - Row 28.  Randy Johnson - Diamondbacks
Seat 3 - Row 76.  Jim Edmonds - Angels
Seat 3 - Row 107.  Bret Boone - Braves
Seat 2 - Row 67.  David Wells - Blue Jays
Seat 1 - Row 49.  Tino Martinez - Yankees #0396 of 3000

And we are three for three with serially numbered cards with today's packs!  The Yankees land another beautiful card (and numbered to 3000 rather than 6000 no less).  Between the three packs today, there is one example of each of the different serially numbered tiers (1500, 3000, and 6000).  Once again, the pack win goes to the Yankees.

Pack 10:
Seat 3 - Row 4.  Chipper Jones - Braves
Seat 3 - Row 80.  Richie Sexson - Indians
Seat 3 - Row 136.  Charles Johnson - Orioles
Seat 2 - Row 87.  Scott Brosius - Yankees
11 of 15 WF.  Wave of the Future:  George Lombard - Braves #0812 / 1000

 The Wave of the Future insert cards are serially numbered and have a Sports Flix like 3D effect to them.  It's a nice win for the Braves (along with the Chipper Jones base card) - this is Atlanta's first pack win of the break!
