1999 Pacific Private Stock: Packs 22 - 24 (The End of the Box)

This is it, the final three packs of the box!  Once I go through the final few packs, I'll get to see exactly how close this box got me to completing my base set.  Fingers crossed for good luck.

Pack 22:

103.  Wally Joyner
115.  Fred McGriff (need it)
83.  Gary DiSarcina (need it)
13.  Mike Piazza (need it)
Mini:  44.  Tim Salmon
Home Run History:  2.  Sammy Sosa

Three more base cards that I needed plus the second Home Run History card from the box (which is right on point since they are seeded 2:25 packs).


Pack 23:

112.  Edgar Martinez
126.  Rey Ordonez
127.  David Ortiz (need it)
114.  Quinton McCracken
24.  Craig Biggio  (need it)
Mini:  136.  David Segui

Two more cards.  So far so good.  One pack left.

Pack 24:

67.  Mike Caruso
94.  Jeffrey Hammonds  (need it)
30.  Andres Galarraga  (need it)
64.  Kevin Brown
117.  Hal Morris  (need it)
Mini:  40.  Pedro Martinez

And that does it for the box.  Even at the end, I was pulling plenty of cards that I needed.  The next question is how well did I do in total?

Heading into the box, my want list for the 1999 Pacific Private Stock set looked like this:

1999 Pacific Private Stock:Base:  2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34, 39, 40, 47, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54, 60, 61, 62, 64, 65, 72, 74, 76, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 88, 90, 91, 94, 96, 98, 101, 104, 105, 107, 110, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 119, 120, 122, 124, 125, 126, 127, 131, 133, 134, 135, 139, 143, 145, 146

And now that I've finished sorting everything, my list looks like this:

1999 Pacific Private Stock:Base:  3, 7, 28, 29, 39, 54, 62, 116, 119, 124, 143, 145

Overall, I went from needing 71 cards to needing only 12!  That's pretty good results for only opening up a single box, especially for one with as bad of collation as the 1999 Pacific Private Stock boxes seem to have.  Being honest, I ended up doing better than I thought I would...I even pulled a pair of Barry Larkin minis (one of which will go into my Larkin Collection binder as that too was a needed card)!  I'm quite happy with how the rip turned out and hopefully you all enjoyed following along.

With that said, I did end up with quite a few duplicates from my box.  Is anyone interested in them?  I can type up a list if there is interest.  Let me know!
