Group Break: Did We Get Lucky (again)? (Yes, We Did!)

The other day, I posted four of the final eight packs in the final mini box from the Fleer Genuine box.  Today, I planned to show the other four packs...but I realized that there are actually five packs remaining!  I guess we got an extra pack - no complaints from me!

Pack 1:
40.  Bret Boone - Mariners
57.  Magglio Ordonez - White Sox
76.  Aramis Ramirez - Pirates
78.  Ivan Rodriguez - Rangers
136.  Ben Howard - Padres #0472/2002

Another pack with a serially numbered card!  This one goes to the Padres - their third pack win of the break.

Pack 2: 
14.  Moises Alou - Cubs
17.  Vladimir Guerrero - Expos
68.  Jason Kendall - Pirates
84.  Jermaine Dye - Athletics
GL 8 of 15:  Genuine Leaders:  Curt Schilling - Diamondbacks

I'm as surprised as anyone that the Diamondbacks have had such a strong showing in the break.  Given this insert, they now have 2 parallels, 2 inserts, 1 serially numbered card, and 1 relic resulting in five pack wins.  Not bad for a "bonus" team huh?!

Pack 3:
16.  Cliff Floyd - Marlins
35.  Paul Konerko - White Sox
56.  C.C. Sabathia - Indians
73.  Doug Mientkiewicz - Twins
2 of 25 TA:  Touch 'em All:  Sammy Sosa - Cubs

Earlier in the break we pulled another one of the Touch 'em All cards and I questioned "why" is there such an insert set?  Then a few packs ago we pulled a relic card with a piece of a base...and it all made sense!  Easy win for the Cubs - that's their fifth as well.

Pack 4:
37.  Adam Dunn - Reds
53.  Preston Wilson - Marlins
61.  Paul Lo Duca - Dodgers
70.  J.D. Drew - Cardinals
GL 2 of 15:  Genuine Leaders:  Todd Helton - Rockies

Another nice card for the Rockies - these Genuine Leaders are pretty nice.  This is the Rockies fifth pack win as well!

Bonus pack?
4.  Eric Milton - Twins
12.  Albert Pujols - Cardinals
65.  Toby Hall - Rays
67.  Jeff Bagwell - Astros

AND HOLY SMOKES BATMAN

SERIOUSLY

WE GOT OURSELVES AN AUTOGRAPH

IT IS ON CARD

....

DRUM ROLL ...

Auto:  Phil Rizzuto - Yankees #223/700

That's right - an on card autograph of Phil Rizzuto in what I think amounted to an extra pack.  The autograph is on card and the card itself is gorgeous.  The Yankees absolutely killed it this break - congrats to New York on the huge pull!

  3. Very nice card. I can't see/hear Rizzuto's name without thinking of Billy Madison.

    "Rirruto?"

  4. Wow that's a great pull. And when I first looked at the Sammy Sosa Touch them All, I was wondering why they had a mattress on a baseball card?
