Ginter Group Break: Box 1: Packs 5 - 8

I have to do these 4 packs at a time or else my fingers (and scanner) get mad at me.  The first four packs were pretty good but we didn't find any of our three promised hits per box.  By pack 8, the odds would suggest we should find one hit.  Will we?  Let's find out!

Box 1:
Pack 05:
79.  Yoenis Cespedes - Athletics
200.  Matt Kemp - Dodgers
9.  Yonder Alonso - Padres
222.  Yovani Gallardo - Brewers
147.  Tsuyoshi Nishioka - Twins
121.  David Wright - Mets
What's in a Name:  26.  Orlando Cepeda - Giants
Reg. mini:  40.  Jimmy Rollins - Phillies

Cespedes name is going to cause me headaches trying to remember how to spell it without looking - I can already tell that.  Of course, Nishioka isn't much better.

Pack 06:
133.  Carlos Beltran - Cardinals
269.  Mike Schmidt - Phillies
115.  Carlos Santana - Indians
299.  Jeff Niemann - Rays
87.  Annie Duke - (poker)
Code card:  Gloria Blatt
Short print:  303.  Ivan Nova - Yankees

Reg. mini short print:  Anibal Sanchez - Marlins

Two short prints in a single pack, not bad.  The regular mini short prints are seeded 1:13 packs (or not quite 2 per box) so that's a nice little pick up for the Marlins!

Pack 07:
130.  Madison Bumgarner - Giants
300.  Roberto Clemente - Pirates
156.  Trevor Cahill - Diamondbacks
128.  Andrew McCutchen - Pirates
188.  Tom Milone - Athletics
Historical Turning Points:  20.  Agricultural Revolution
Musical Masters:  7.  Franz Schubert

Short print:  323.  Ryan Roberts

Another short print plus our first non-baseball mini insert.  I like the Historical Turning Points cards quite a bit even though I didn't scan that one.

Pack 08:
72.  Joakim Soria - Royals
259.  Wade Davis - Rays
231.  Todd Helton - Rockies
123.  Adam Lind - Blue Jays
45.  Ewa Mataya - (billiards)
Code card:  Tom's Place
Giants of the Deep:  5.  Beluga Whale

Short print:  329.  Billy Butler - Royals

Well, we didn't end up finding any of our promised hits yet - but that simply means there should be more excitement in the upcoming packs out of the box, right?  The Giants of the Deep card is pretty cool - another set that I can't wait to complete.
