A quick reminder that my newest Group Break has open sign-ups happening right now. As of the time I am writing this post, there are still 16 teams remaining including the Red Sox, Dodgers, Mets, Twins, and Mariners (just to name a few)!
---
Now that you've checked out my group break, it's time for another three packs out of the 1997 Sports Illustrated box. I think my wife sometimes thinks that buying me cards is a waste because once you open them you are done. I tried to explain that thanks to my blog, I get to post pack-by-pack (if I feel like it), hopefully complete some trades, and then (finally) catalog the full set if I get that far. In fact, you might say baseball cards are the gift that keep on giving!
Pack 15:
30. Roger Clemens - Season Highlights
58. Tony Clark - S.I.ber Vision
141. John Valentin
153. Jose Valentin
179. Derek Jeter & Alex Rodriguez - Covers
Mini Poster:
Roberto Alomar
I think that Covers subset card of Jeter and A-Rod would make for a really fun picture caption contest. If only I had some sort of prize to make that worthwhile for people to enter...maybe my eternal respect?
Pack 16:
35. Ken Caminiti - Season Highlights
53. Dan Wilson - Inside Baseball
69. Shane Reynolds - S.I.ber Vision
95. Ryne Sandberg
105. Ron Gant
Mini Poster:
Greg Maddux
The Caminiti photo is simply unnecessary if you ask me. I guess Fleer was trying to woo the ladies by inserting a way-too-naked looking Caminiti photo in the set. The Maddux poster, by the way, is another duplicate and available for trade.
Pack 17:
8. Vladimir Guerrero - Fresh Faces
120. Steve Finley
165. Jim Leyritz
175. Will Clark & Mark McGwire - SI Covers
159. Randy Johnson - Extra Edition Parallel set #186/500
Mini Poster:
Andy Ashby
I wasn't expecting to pull a serially numbered card of the box so the Johnson was a nice little surprise. Other than the stamp on the front and the serial number on the back though, the cards are exactly identical to the regular base cards.
