Group Break #5: Three Packs of 2002 Fleer Box Score

Happy Monday morning!  This is the first (official) week of summer vacation for me - so I'm up early to celebrate by opening up more packs of baseball cards.  Seriously, it doesn't get much better than this!

I opened the first pack from the '02 Fleer Box Score on video a couple of days - here are the next three packs out of the box.

Pack 02:
6.  David Justice - Athletics
14.  Pat Burrell - Phillies
43.  Brad Radke - Twins
68.  Scott Rolen - Phillies

105.  Tim Salmon - Angels
118.  Robert Fick - Tigers
122.  Gary Sheffield - Braves

The Phillies have been lagging behind most of the other claimed teams thus far, so getting a couple of Philadelphia cards in the pack is a good thing.  We still haven't found a single Rockie, Royal (another claimed team), or a Blue Jay.  Hard to believe that - but the break is still relatively young.

Pack 03:
32.  Jeremy Giambi - Athletics
40.  Mark Grace - Diamondbacks
45.  Adam Dunn - Reds
51.  Lance Berkman - Astros
74.  David Eckstein - Angels
79.  Albert Pujols - Cardinals
89.  Jeff Suppan - Royals

One pack after mentioning the Royals were shutout in the break, we get our first Royal!  Now it's only the Rockies and Blue Jays that haven't seen a single card in the break...will the next pack fix that?

Pack 04:
9.  Larry Walker - Rockies
12.  David Wells - Yankees
16.  Bud Smith - Cardinals
20.  Russ Ortiz - Giants
38.  Jason Giambi - Yankees
63.  Todd Helton - Rockies

81.  Matt Morris - Cardinals

Well, that makes the Rockies a bit better, now doesn't it?  From 0 cards to 2 cards in a single pack is a good thing for the mountain guys.

All things considered, those weren't the most exciting packs - but they did provide a few teams with their first cards so no real complaints!  Stay tuned to the blog for plenty more group break goodness (both today and for the week)!  And, of course, there's always a non-Group Break post each evening for the rest of you!
