Group Break 3: Fleer Circa '96 - Packs 16, 17, & 18

It's almost the start of another week - and unfortunately for me, that means the end of spring break.  I've enjoyed the warm weather and grilling...but now it's time to start thinking about lesson plans and grading (yuck).  However, just because I have to think about stuff like that doesn't mean you have to...so here's three more packs to take your mind off of Monday.

Pack 16:
7.  Rafael Palmeiro - Orioles
22.  Tim Salmon - Angels
36.  Charles Nagy - Indians
88.  Ken Hill - Rangers

119.  John Smiley - Reds
142.  Ramon Martinez - Dodgers
170.  Jay Bell - Pirates
189.  Fernando Valenzuela - Padres

Eesh, that was a fairly brutal pack...not much to get excited about there.  Moving right along...

Pack 17:
14.  Mo Vaughn - Red Sox
29.  Frank Thomas - White Sox

81.  Alex Rodriguez -Mariners
92.  Ivan Rodriguez - Rangers
103.  David Justice - Braves
134.  Derek Bell - Astros
152.  David Segui - Expos
159.  Lance Johnson - Mets

Can you tell it's nearly the end of the break?  I've opened up 17 packs of Circa and I'm basically 100% out of things to say about the set...especially for packs without any type of insert or other oddity.  

Pack 18:
29.  Frank Thomas - White Sox
59.  Kirby Puckett - Twins
81.  Alex Rodriguez - Mariners

103.  David Justice - Braves
125.  Eric Young - Rockies
134.  Derek Bell - Astros
152.  David Segui - Expos
159.  Lance Johnson - Mets

If you thought there were a lot of duplicates in that pack, you'd be correct.  Notice how similar the contents of Pack 17 and Pack 18 were.  Yikes.
