Group Break #5: 2000 Pacific Aurora - Packs 22, 23, 24, & 25

It's just about the time in each group break where I am a bit tired of opening packs and coming up with something interesting (sometimes) to say.  Hopefully my inner genius will be provoked by cards in the next four packs so that this post doesn't feel like a chore.

Pack 22:
35.  Mike Cameron - Reds
41.  David Justice - Indians
45.  Jim Thome - Indians (short print variation)

101.  Bernie Williams - Yankees
110.  Mike Lieberthal - Phillies
124.  Ben Davis - Padres

Another short print card - this time for the Indians.  That's now six short prints from the box.

Pack 23:
38.  Pokey Reese - Reds
44.  Richie Sexson - Indians
45.  Jim Thome - Indians
82.  Ron Coomer - Twins
91.  Edgardo Alfonzo - Mets
98.  Derek Jeter - Yankees

We pulled the short print version of Thome in the first pack, now we got the regular version.  I decided to scan the Jeter though since he's easily the biggest name in the pack (sorry Thome).

Pack 24:
39.  Eddie Taubensee - Reds
46.  Omar Vizquel - Indians
63.  Craig Biggio - Astros

83.  Jacque Jones - Twins
126.  Trevor Hoffman - Padres
137.  Jose Canseco - Rays

That's three Reds in three packs - good for me!

Pack 25:
11.  Andruw Jones - Braves
48.  Mike Lansing - Rockies
84.  Brad Radke - Twins
87.  Peter Bergeron - Expos
125.  Tony Gwynn - Padres

136.  Dan Wilson - Mariners

Still no Gwynn autograph - but at least we got his base card.

...and with that, the group break marches onward.
