Ginter Group Break: Box 1: Packs 9 - 12

Another shout out to Atlanta Sports Cards.

Now, on to the next four packs out of our first box in the break!

Box 1:
Pack 09:
97.  Max Scherzer - Tigers
145.  Drew Storen - Nationals
36.  Kirk Herbstreit - (analyst)
234.  Carlos Lee - Astros
149.  Wilson Ramos - Nationals
157.  Roger Federer - (tennis)
What's in a Name:  69.  Felix Hernandez - Mariners
A&G back mini:  109.  Tim Lincecum - Giants

Still no hits but that is our third A&G back mini from the box.

Pack 10:
37.  James McDonald - Pirates
27.  Ricky Nolasco - Marlins
114.  Johan Santana - Mets
187.  John Axford - Brewers

248.  Jed Lowrie - Astros
169.  Mark Teixeira - Yankees
What's in a Name:  77.  David Price - Rays
Reg. mini:  211.  Keegan Bradley - (golf)

I think Axford looks more like a Three Muskateer and less like a modern ballplayer.

Pack 11:
165.  Alex Avila - Tigers
73.  Jordan Zimmerman - Nationals
113.  Meadowlark Lemon - (globetrotter)
41.  Clayton Kershaw - Dodgers
What's in a Name:  22.  Matt Kemp
Reg. mini:  268.  Angel Pagan - Giants
Relic:  AGR-MBO.  Michael Bourn - Braves

And the first relic of the break goes to....  Me!  Hey, I tried to get someone to claim the Braves but no such luck.  Too bad for you - and good for me since I am hoping to actually complete the entire relic set this year!  Don't worry though, with 12 boxes and 3 promised hits per box - there should be at least 35 more hits remaining in the case!

Pack 12:
140.  Mike Trout - Angels
90.  Roy Halladay - Phillies
56.  Jordan Pacheco - Rockies
215.  Dan Haren - Angels
279.  Brett Gardner - Yankees
Historical Turning Points:  3.  Fall of the Roman Empire
Short print:  349.  Danny Espinosa - Nationals

Black border mini:  130.  Madison Bumgarner - Giants

A nice ending to the next set of packs - the regular black border minis are seeded 1:10 packs.

Through the first 12 packs of the break, every single team (except for the Cubs and my Reds) has at least one base card.  I'm happy with the team distribution so far - let's hope for a little Cubbie and Red love in the next couple of packs and then everyone will be happy at the outset of the break!
