Group Break 4: 2004 Leather & Lumber - Packs 6, 7, and 8

The Leather & Lumber box has been fun to open so far - what will the next three packs bring?

Pack 6:
5.  Vladimir Guerrero - Angels
47.  Larry Walker - Rockies
63.  Roger Clemens - Astros
106.  Jermaine Dye - Athletics
LEL-28.  Leather in Leather:  Steve Carlton - Phillies #0316/2499

A really nice score for the Phillies - it's nice to see the group break love getting spread around so many teams this early in the break!

Pack 7:
11.  Adam LaRoche - Braves
34.  Sammy Sosa - Cubs
91.  Jose Reyes - Mets
124.  Tony Gwynn - Padres
148.  Eric Hinkse - Blue Jays
115.  Relic:  Marlon Byrd - Philles #193/250

No sooner than I say the group break love is being spread around when the same team "wins" back-to-back hits of sorts.  The Byrd relic is quite interesting because (if you look closely) you'll see that it was quite tattered.  There's also a bit of stitching running down the left side - at least it isn't just a boring 'ol grey swatch!

Pack 8: 
41.  Barry Larkin - Reds

60.  Jeff Bagwell - Astros
84.  Andre Dawson - Expos
103.  Barry Zito - Athletics
174.  Kazuo Matsui - Mets #033/100

A new Larkin for me and a nice serially numbered card for the Mets.  All told, a pretty good batch of three packs!
