Ginter Group Break: Box 1: Packs 21 - 24

Rise and shine!  It's time to start the day off right by finishing what we didn't quite finish yesterday - the first box of the group break!  We already found our three hits for the box so this should just be a post going through the motions, right?

Box 1:
Pack 21:
183.  Darwin Barney - Cubs
64.  Mat Latos - Reds
32.  Ben Zobrist - Rays
53.  Hisashi Iwakuma - Mariners
242.  Alfonso Soriano - Cubs
Baseball Sketch:  22.  Joe DiMaggio
Black border mini:  188.  Tom Milone - Athletics

Base short print:  350.  Howie Kendrick

That's our third black border mini of the box - and the second for the Athletics (congrats go out to Dan who picked up Oakland).

Pack 22:
172.  Chris Perez - Indians
213.  Joe Nathan - Rangers
154.  Bob Hurley Sr. (basketball coach)
74.  Johnny Cueto - Reds
49.  Jeremy Hellickson - Rays
Tallest Buildings:  7.  Chrysler Building
Reg. mini:  256.  Brandon Morrow - Blue Jays
Base short print:  347.  Matt Garza - Cubs

Remember when the Cubs had no cards?  Yeah, a relic, a short print, and a few base cards later and all of the sudden the Cubbies are lookin' pretty good for the box!

Pack 23:
160.  Shane Victorino - Phillies
21.  Matt Moore - Rays
296.  Mark Trumbo - Angels
274.  Derek Jeter - Yankees
144.  Joe Benson - Twins
63.  Zack Britton - Orioles
What's in a Name:  65.  Nick Swisher - Yankees
People of the Bible:  2.  Moses

I guess this year's People of the Bible are an answer to last year's Ascent of Man cards.  Topps is playing both sides of the fence so to speak.

Pack 24:
285.  Ryan Zimmerman - Nationals
211.  Keegan Bradley - (golfer)
11.  Eric Hosmer - Royals
2.  Juan Pierre - Phillies
29.  Hanley Ramirez - Marlins
Tallest Buildings:  9.  Woolworth Building
A&G back mini:  161.  Freddie Freeman - Braves
Base short print:  315.  Dellin Betances - Yankees

And with that pack, the first box of the break is finished!  Only 11 more boxes to go...
