Group Break #5: 2002 Donruss Elite - Final Four Packs

The fifth group break of the year has been a big success (at least in my book) - but let's see if we can't wrap it up with a bang!  For this morning's post (and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there), I present the final four packs from the 2002 Donruss Elite box.  We've already found a relic - will we get anything else out of the box?  Only one way to find out...here we go.

Pack 17:
10.  Torii Hunter - Twins
49.  Javier Vazquez - Expos
63.  Alex Rodriguez - Rangers

72.  Tom Glavine - Braves
83.  Nomar Garciaparra - Red Sox

Not much in that pack, but there's still three more.  Before we get to those though, I need to give another shout out to the group break sponsor - Baseball Card Exchange.

Pack 18:
27.  Jeff Kent - Giants
54.  Rafael Palmeiro - Rangers
58.  Dean Palmer - Tigers
84.  Mariano Rivera - Yankees
AS 8.  All-Star Salutes:  Luis Gonzalez - Diamondbacks #0034/2001

The Gonzalez is the third serially numbered card of the break for the Diamondbacks - who saw that coming?

There are two packs remaining and both feel thicker than normal.  Is it a pair of dummy cards or did we find another hit?

Pack 19:
9.  Todd Helton - Rockies
20.  Sammy Sosa - Cubs

48.  Mike Lowell - Marlins
58.  Dean Palmer - Tigers
68.  Albert Pujols - Cardinals
Dummy card.

Drat - Pack 19 held a dummy card.  The box doesn't state how many hits we should expect - will we get a second hit in the final pack?

Pack 20:
12.  Chipper Jones - Braves
36.  Jim Thome - Indians
46.  Jeff Conine - Orioles

59.  Bret Boone - Mariners
76.  Andy Pettitte - Yankees
Dummy card

Double drat!  Oh well, still a decent box.  I'm curious what you all think of the 2002 Donruss Elite set?
