Group Break: I WILL Finish the Fleer Tradition Box This Weekend (6 Packs, Here We Go!)

A few of you mentioned going to six packs per post - so I figured why not give it a shot and see if my fingers fall off from typing all those names and teams.  If this works, we will be one post away from completing the box - here's half of the remaining 12 packs for your enjoyment.

And with that, six more packs are in the books.  Only six more packs remain in the box before we get to move on to the next box full of cards!

For my own set, I'm now only missing one more "regular" base card and then a bunch of the short-printed Unforgettable Moments subset cards.  Not bad - though I haven't had much luck with the short prints, most of the ones we've pulled in the box were ones I already owned!
