"O" NO's 3rd Group Break: Round 4

We've reached the halfway point of the break.  There's been some good looking cards pulled and a pretty even distribution of cards per team.  Lets hope our luck continues in Round #4.  Lets start off with Topps Chrome.

Pack #13
196 Tony Fernandez - Blue Jays
45 Johnny Damon - Royals
207 Bergeron, Giambi, Lombard - Expos, Royals, Braves
205 Berkman, Frank, Kapler - Astros, Reds, Tigers

These Propsect cards are starting to get under my skin.  I never was a fan of dual, triple, or quadruple rookie/prospect cards!

Pack #14
131 Ron Gant - Reds
206 Escobar, Ledee, Stoner - Mets, Yankees, Diamondbacks
30 Todd Walker - Twins

9 Will Clark - Rangers

Pack #15
193 Jeff King - Royals
166 Chan Ho Park - Dodgers

237 Orlando Hernandez World Series Highlights - Yankees

Pack #16
159 Mike Lieberthal - Phillies
133 Shannon Stewart - Blue Jays
116 Roberto Kelly - Rangers
19 Brad Radke - Twins

Another solid round of Chromium, but nothing with that "Wow Factor".

Onto the MVP Packs

Pack #13
46 Omar Vizquel - Indians

Pack #20
42 Ben Greive - A's

Nomar was one of my favorites even though he played for the Red Sox.  Too bad injuries derailed his career.

A nice way to wrap up this round's HoloGrFX packs with a Kid insert.

I almost forgot about the 2012 UD Packs.  Here's another one:

Pack #2
571 Arizona Checklist
548 Cleveland Stadium
237 Bud Norris - Houston
456 Mark Lowe - Seattle
400 Zach Duke - Pittsburgh
83 Koji Uehara - Orioles

BH-7 Joe DiMaggio - Baseball Heroes - Yankees

UDGJ - HB Hank Blalock - UD Game Jersey - Rangers
Another hit for the Rangers this round.  Congrats again Roy.
SB-63 Scott Feldman - Season Biography - Rangers
521 Marc Rzepczynski - Toronto
216 Anibal Sanchez - Florida
85 Jim Johnson - Baltimore
311 Jason Kubel - Minnesota
265 Mike Napoli - Los Angeles (AL)
323 David Wright - New York (NL)
31 John Hester - Arizona

It's going to be hard to say that the Rangers didn't win this round.  2 relic cards isn't bad no matter how you slice it.  We're moving right on thru the packs.  I hope everyone is enjoying the break so far.
