Ginter Group Break: Box 2: The Final 8 Packs!

Let's celebrate the start of the weekend by opening up the final 8 packs out of box #2.

Box 2:
Pack 17:
85.  Curly Neal - (Globetrotter)
227.  Michael Young - Rangers
184.  Ara Parseghian - (coach)
3.  Miguel Cabrera - Tigers
214.  Yunel Escobar - Blue Jays
Baseball Sketch:  17.  Cal Ripken Jr. - Orioles
Base short print:  317.  Jason Heyward - Braves
Black bordered short print:  306.  Ryan Howard - Phillies

The black bordered short prints are seeded 1:130 packs!  That's a nice hit for the Phillies (congrats to Brad).

Pack 18:
110.  Heath Bell - Marlins
244.  Brett Anderson - Athletics
146.  Josh Beckett - Red Sox
189.  Lance Berkman - Cardinals
118.  Carl Yastrzemski - Red Sox
Baseball Sketch:  6.  Frank Thomas - White Sox
Base short print:  326.  Logan Morrison - Marlins
A&G back mini:  7.  Mickey Mantle - Yankees

Another nice mini card, that's two packs with good stuff from the most diminutive card in the pack.

Pack 19:
40.  Jimmy Rollins - Phillies
190.  Addison Reed - White Sox
166.  Ervin Santana - Angels
249.  Phil Hughes - Yankees
239.  Liam Hendriks - Twins
241.  Andrew Bailey - Red Sox
What's in a Name:  21.  Jackie Robinson - Dodgers
Reg. mini:  265.  Chris Parmelee - Twins

The Robinson is a nice card but I figured by now you've all seen plenty of scans of the What's in a Name cards.

Pack 20:
203.  Ian Kinsler - Rangers
193.  Jackie Joyner-Kersee - (track)
235.  Victor Martinez - Tigers
108.  J.P. Arencibia - Blue Jays
81.  Jerry Bailey - (jockey)
World's Tallest Buildings:  6.  Empire State Building
Base short print:  340.  Marty Hogan - (racquetball)
Black bordered mini:  88.  Stan Musial - Cardinals

Another black bordered beauty, congrats to IkesCards for landing this one!

Pack 21:
185.  Starlin Castro - Cubs
202.  Jaime Garcia - Cardinals
205.  Tony Gwynn - Padres
70.  Aroldis Chapman - Reds
What's in a Name:  99.  Babe Ruth - Yankees
Reg. mini short print:  342.  Ryan Dempster - Cubs
Framed relic:  AGR-CB.  Clay Buchholz - Red Sox

As you can see, the bottom of the relic frame has a bit of peeling issue (for lack of a better way to describe it).  It came damaged out of the pack - sometimes Topps will replace such cards (but that will be fore Brad to decide since he claimed the Red Sox).

Pack 22:
83.  Matt Joyce - Rays
237.  Al Unser, Sr.  - (racer)
151.  Jose Valverde - Tigers
256.  Brandon Morrow - Blue Jays
232.  Kate Upton - (eye candy)
Tallest Buildings:  5.  1 World Trade Center
Base short print:  344.  Matt Dominguez - Marlins
Reg. mini:  253.  Jorge De La Rosa - Rockies

Pack 23:
173.  Jay Bruce - Reds
67.  Desmond Jennings - Rays
1.  Albert Pujols - Angels
71.  Curtis Granderson - Yankees
270.  Anthony Rizzo - Cubs
92.  Craig Kimbrel - Braves
What's in a Name:  55.  Robinson Cano - Yankees
A&G back mini:  163.  Tom Seaver - Mets

I wish that the Seaver was a Reds card but I'm sure DutchCardGuy is glad Seaver's a Met in this set!

Pack 24:
117.  Nick Swisher - Yankees
180.  Tim Federowicz - Dodgers
126.  Justin Masterson - Indians
267.  Nefali Feliz - Rangers
105.  Arnold Palmer - (golfer)
Tallest Buildings:  4.  Willis Tower
Base short print:  310.  Russell Martin - Yankees
Man's Best Friend:  7.  Yorkshire Terrier

I very much hope to complete all the mini sets, especially the man's best friend set!  I'll be actively trading for all the mini cards as soon as I get my own case opened (it's killing me leaving my case closed while I bust the group break case...I should have ordered the two cases separately simply to avoid the temptation to open my own cards first)!

  3. Box two was much better for me. 2 SPs, 2 inserts and 5 base. Keep it up!
