Ginter Group Break: Box 11: Packs 1 - 12

We have two more boxes left in the group break.  Here's half of the next box.

Box #11:
Box topper:
Eric Hosmer - Royals

Didn't we pull this card once already?  Yes, yes we did.  That kind of stinks, doesn't it?

Pack 01:
History:  Reformation
Base SP:  343.  Zack Greinke - Brewers
Reg. mini:  297. Justin Morneau - Twins

Pack 02:
Name:  67.  Willie Stargell - Pirates
A&G back mini:  67.  Desmond Jennings - Rays

Pack 03:
Name:  83.  Mark Teixeira - Yankees
Reg. mini:  84.  Andre Ethier - Dodgers

Pack 04:
History:  Discovery of New World
Base SP:  323.  Ryan Roberts - Diamondbacks
Black border mini:  106.  Bud Norris - Astros

Pack 05:
Name:  56.  Aroldis Chapman - Reds
Reg. mini SP:  319.  Adam Wainwright - Cardinals
Framed relic:  AGR-PP.  Phil Pfister - (strong guy)

The Pfister relic is our first duplicate relic of the break.  I guess if we had to get a duplicate relic, it's ideal to get a duplicate of one of the non-baseball people because then more group break participants have a shot at the card.  Even so, doubles are always disappointing!

Pack 06:
Sketch:  Cal Ripken Jr. - Orioles
Base SP:  350.  Howie Kendrick - Angels
A&G back mini:  174.  Ubaldo Jimenez - Indians

Pack 07:
Name:  43.  Justin Verlander - Tigers
Military:  Alexander the Great

Pack 08:
Name:  60.  Jay Bruce - Reds
Reg. mini:  252.  Tsuyoshi Wada - Orioles

Pack 09:
Building:  Burj Khalifa
Base SP:  302.  Jayson Werth - Nationals
A&G back mini:  178.  Wei-Yin Chen - Orioles

Pack 10:
Name:  Minnie Minoso - White Sox
Reg. mini:  211.  Keegan Bradley - (golfer)
Colony in a Card:  Artemia Salina

Yes!  I was beginning to get worried we weren't going to find out case hits.  The Colony card is super thick - think manupatch thick and can be turned into a brine shrimp colony.  Kind of cool I guess - certainly unique and a nice variation of last year's "grow flowers" set.

Pack 11:
Name:  B.J. Upton - Rays
Culinary Curiousities:  Kopi Luwak
Framed relic:  AGR-BH.  Bob Hurley, Sr.  (coach)

Ugh, more duplicate relics!  This particular box has been almost all duplicates (the minis have been duplicates, the box topper was a duplicate, really only the Colony in a Card was "new").  Not cool.

Pack 12:
Sketch:  Nolan Ryan - Rangers
Base SP:  312.  Anibal Sanchez - Marlins
Reg. mini:  Edinson Volquez - Padres

That's the end of the first half of the box.  I don't think the colony card counts as a hit so there still should be one more hit lurking in the second half of the box.  Stay tuned for that!
