"O" NO's 3rd Group Break: Round 6

All good things must come to an end.   This break has been enjoyable to me and I hope it has been for my readers also.  Lets get into the last round of packs starting with 1999 Topps Chrome:

Pack #21
39 Quinton McCracken - Rays
81 Roberto Hernandez (the original) - Rays

25 Travis Lee - Diamondbacks
235 Bernie Williams World Series Highlights subset - Yankees

The Rays got more cards in that pack than the Orioles have gotten from the whole box!  WTF?

Pack #22
158 Rick Aguilera - Twins
164 John Valentin - Red Sox
165 Dave Delucci - Diamondbacks
153 Eric Davis - Orioles (Finally!)

Pack #23
162 Jeff Brantley - Cardinals
146 Terry Steinbach - Twins
152 Omar Vizquel - Indians
37 Jason Dickson - Angels

Pack #24
Jason McDonald - A's
109 Shawn Green - Blue Jays
38 Sean Bergman - Astros

234 Chuck Knoblauch World Series Highlights - Yankees

The Topps Chrome box was a bit of a disappointment from my standpoint as an Orioles collector but as a group breaker we pulled some really awesome cards.  I'm glad that Topps Chrome isn't a parallel set anymore and just focuses on the bigger name players in the present.

Lets open that last 2010 Upper Deck pack:

564 AT&T Park - San Francisco
111 Derrek Lee - Chicago NL
600 Washington Checklist
463 Albert Pujols - St. Louis
152 Arthur Rhodes - Cincinnati

431 Kevin Frandsen - San Francisco
116 Koyie Hill - Chicago NL
385 Cole Hamels - Philadelphia

SB-195 Kevin Millwood - Texas

164 Asdrubal Cabrera - Cleveland
367 Josh Outman - Oakland
26 Brad Kilby - Oakland
273 Juan Pierre - Los Angeles NL
426 Nate Schierholtz - San Francisco

At least we got a hit out of one of the UD Packs.  What a mess that set was.

UD MVP wasn't the most exciting box in the world to open but the cards looked pretty nice.  And when you beat the odds pulling a hit, you can't beat that with a stick.
