Group Break: 1999 Flair Showcase - Packs 19 and 20

We are rapidly nearing the end of the group break (which should excite some of you who are probably ready for me to return to my normal scintillating posts I'm sure)!  However, we aren't done quite yet so let's keep goin'!

Pack 19:
Seat 3 - Row 38:  Jeremy Giambi - Royals
Seat 3 - Row 95:  Dustin Hermanson - Nationals
Seat 3 - Row 124:  Jeff Kent - Giants
Seat 2 - Row 10:  Nomar Garciaparra - Red Sox
Seat 1 - Row 126:  Justin Thompson - Tigers #1799 of 6000

The Flair box has given us quite a few serially numbered beauties.  I really like the set - and it's a fun addition for a group break (in my opinion at least) because there are so many different parallels...and they are nice parallels rather than just a different color border or a stupid tint.  The Tigers win this pack easily thanks to the Thompson card.

Pack 20:
Seat 3 - Row 22:  Derek Jeter - Yankees
Seat 3 - Row 58:  Pedro Martinez - Red Sox
Seat 3 - Row 112:  Andy Pettitte - Yankees
Seat 2 - Row 54:  Bob Higginson - Tigers
Seat 1 - Row 58:  Pedro Martinez - Red Sox

The Yankees may have had two cards in the pack, but both of theirs were base cards...The Red Sox has both the regular base card of Pedro AND the serially-numbered Seat 1 version of Pedro...that's enough to put the Sox on top for the pack.
