Group Break 4: 2002 Fleer Flair - First 3 packs

The 2002 Fleer Flair box comes with two mini boxes of 10 packs each.  There is also an oversized Swatch pack that serves as a box topper - but I think I'll wait to open that a bit later in the break, keep the suspense going for that one.  Instead, let's crack open the first of the two mini boxes and open a trio of packs.

Pack 1:
16.  Roy Oswalt - Astros
55.  Albert Pujols - Cardinals

71.  Ivan Rodriguez - Rangers
89.  Curt Schilling - Diamondbacks
101.  Dewon Brazelton - Rays #0309/1750

The Brazelton card is part of a 40 card subset of Future Fame cards (all of which are numbered to 1750).  Good luck completing this set...eesh.

Pack 2:
7.  J.D. Drew - Cardinals
11.  Barry Larkin - Reds

26.  Gary Sheffield - Braves
33.  Jim Thome - Indians
53.  CC Sabathia - Indians

I am ignoring all the other cards in the pack except the beautiful Larkin card...and it's even number 11 in the set - I appreciate that Fleer!

Pack 3:
4.  Hideo Nomo - Dodgers

20.  Roger Clemens - Yankees
59.  Tim Hudson - Athletics
Flair Jersey Heights:  Jeff Bagwell - Astros

The Jersey Heights cards are seeded 1:18 packs.  It's certainly a nice pick-up for the Astros of one of their big stars of the '00s!

That's two hits already and the break has barely begun!  Are we just hitting the promised hits earlier than normal or is it a sign of even better things to come?  I have no idea, but I can't wait to find out!
