I will finish the box of 1999 Fleer Sports Illustrated before the week is over - after all, I kind of have to since next week will be my (Even) Better Know a Blogger week which should be lots of fun. I'm a huge fan of community involvement and the last time I ran a similar event I enjoyed it immensely. For now though, I need to finish off my box of cards so let's keep ripping!
Pack 11:
4. Sterling Hitchcock
52. Angel Pena, Jeff Kubenka, Paul LoDuca
47. Ronnie Belliard, Valerio de los Santos, Rafael Roque (needed it)
Headliners: 14. Barry Bonds
119. Rondell White
179. Checklist (needed it)
First, that Headliners is the second Barry Bonds in the box - a terrible thing for me since I had once had plans of collecting the entire insert set. Not anymore though - getting two duplicates out of my first three Headliners is no good (and since they are seeded 1:4 packs, I only expect to pull three more). As for the rest of the cards, I did manage to land two more needed cards including the checklist. I'm glad I pulled the checklist since those are often hard to trade for - it seems many people throw checklist cards out!
Pack 12:
10. Ken Griffey Jr. & Mark McGwire
37. Craig Biggio
60. Matt Clement, Ben Davis, Stan Spencer
120. Jamie Moyer
133. Trevor Hoffman
155. Curt Schilling
You'll notice that I didn't mark a single card in that pack as "needed." That hurts the set collection prospects.
Pack 13:
143. Scott Erickson
145. Greg Vaughn
105. Jim Edmonds
71. Mike Lowell, Jay Tessmer, Ryan Bradley
20. Sammy Sosa & Juan Gonzalez
19. Tom Glavine & Roger Clemens
Oh no, that's two packs in a row with nothing new to offer my set. At this point in time, it's beginning to look a bit unlikely that I'll finish the entire base set thanks to this box alone. That said, we are just past the halfway mark so I probably shouldn't give up all hope quite yet. I'll have more packs soon!
