Group Break 4: Three packs of 1999 Pacific Paramount

The group break continues marching on - here are the next three packs out of the '99 Paramount box.

Pack 5:
20.  Bret Boone - Braves

54.  Mike Caruso - White Sox
70.  Sandy Alomar Jr. - Indians
199.  Carlos Hernandez - Padres
249.  Shannon Stewart - Blue Jays
Gold parallel:  Mike Piazza - Mets

The Piazza makes two Mets gold parallels within the first 5 packs of the box.  

Pack 6
25.  Brian Jordan - Braves
55.  Ray Durham - White Sox
63.  Barry Larkin - Reds

116.  Mark Grudzielanek - Dodgers
200.  Trevor Hoffman - Padres
Gold parallel:  Masato Yoshii - Mets

And now there are three Mets gold parallels within the first 6 packs!  That doesn't matter to me though as this pack contained a new Larkin for me!  Nothing else matters...

Pack 7:
39.  Reggie Jerfferson - Red Sox
149.  Bobby Bonilla - Mets
180.  Desi Releford - Phillies
195.  Edgar Renteria - Cardinals
232.  Royce Clayton - Rangers
Gold parallel:  Manny Ramirez - Indians

So far, six of the seven gold parallels have been either Mets or Indians!  I wonder if the collation is really that poor OR if it was just luck of the draw as I pull packs out of the box.  I guess we will find out as the break progresses!
