Ginter Group Break: Box 2: Packs 5 - 8

Did someone say "open more packs!"?  Ok then, I shall.

Box 2:
Pack 05:
47.  Buster Posey - Giants
247.  Hank Aaron - Braves
257.  Dan Uggla - Braves
284.  Pedro Alvarez - Pirates
159.  Devin Mesoraco - Reds
Murder in Willow Cove:  Gary Linderman
Black border mini:  139.  Tim Hudson - Braves
Base short print:  341.  Colby Lewis

Not a bad pack - the black bordered card is nice, the short print is good lookin', and we got a new Reds base card.  I'm happy!

Pack 06:
15.  Joel Hanrahan - Pirates
261.  Michael Taylor - Athletics
224.  Adam Jones - Orioles
268.  Angel Pagan - Giants
210.  Willie Mays - Giants
Murder in Willow Cove:  Lennie's High School Ring
Base short print:  301.  Adron Chambers - Cardinals
Reg. mini:  12.  Bryce Harper - Nationals

A Harper mini is the easy highlight of the pack - though the Giants did well with a pair of base cards (including Willie Mays)!

Pack 07:
106.  Bud Norris - Astros
59.  Johnny Damon - Indians
16.  Rulon Gardner - (wrestler)
101.  James Loney - Dodgers
272.  Jose Tabata - Pirates
58.  Ryan Bruan - Brewers
What's in a Name:  59.  Buster Posey - Giants

Reg. mini:  65.  Alex Rios - White Sox

I kind of like the What's in a Name cards - better than the Hometown Heroes set from the previous edition of Ginter anyhow.

Pack 08:
84.  Andre Ethier - Dodgers
155.  Edison Volquez - Padres
138.  Josh Willingham - Twins
236.  Scott Rolen - Reds
68.  Rickie Weeks - Brewers
297.  Justin Morneau - Twins
What's in a Name:  Catfish Hunter - Athletics
World's Greatest Military Leaders:  15.  Horatio Nelson

Still no hits to be found - but with two-thirds of the box remaining, that's not surprising.  I will say that I've been basically picking the top pack each time going from left to right in the box.  Both the first and second box had zero hits in the top two rows of packs - something to keep in mind perhaps if you buy a pack at a time from a hobby shop!
