April 2013 Affordable Group Break - 1998 Pacific Online

As promised we'll get this break started today.  Since a lot of people commented on liking the inclusion of the '98 Online box since it is a massive set with lots and lots of players, I've decided to list the contents of each pack.  Yes it's more work for me, but you'll get a better idea of how your teams are doing.  Hopefully you'll comment and let me know what card or cards you're excited to see pulled!

Pack 1:
#721 Kevin Stocker - Gold (Rays)
#704 Wade Boggs (Rays)
#661 Orel Hershiser (Giants)

#572 Curt Schilling (Phillies)
#467 Chris Widger (Expos)
#770 Robert Person (Jays)
#304 Edgar Renteria (Marlins)
#143 Tyler Houston (Cubs)
#075 Walt Weiss (Braves)

I swear I didn't know that Orel ever played for the Giants!

Pack 2:
#712 Albie Lopez - Gold (Rays)
#099 Jeff Reboulet (Orioles)
#164 Mike Caruso (White Sox)
#225 Alvin Morman (Indians)
#357 Joe Vitiello (Royals)
#454 Derrick May (Cubs)

#780 Roger Clemens - Team Checklist (Jays)



















Pack 3:
#668 Robb Nen - Gold (Giants)
#042 Barry Manuel (Dbacks)
#140 Jeremu Gonzalez (Cubs)
#303 Jay Powell (Marlins)
#509 Ramiro Mendoza (Yankees)
#568 Mark Parent (Phillies)
#286 Justin Thompson (Tigers)

#067 Greg Maddux (Braves)



















I scanned in this card of Maddux because he is one of the players that has a photo variation.  I think this is the standard photo.

Pack 4:
#684 Jeff Fassero - Gold (Mariners)
#034 Scott Brow (Dbacks)
#734 Rusty Greer (Rangers)
#270 Roberto Duran (Tigers)
#410 Al Reyes (Brewers)

#637 Tony Gwynn (Padres)

Pack 5:
#639 Carlos Hernandez - Gold (Padres)
#619 Eli Marrero (Cardinals)
#162 Jason Bere (White Sox)
#293 Victor Darensbourg (Marlins)
#355 Larry Sutton (Royals)
#477 Bernard Gilkey (Mets)
#587 Esteban Loaiza (Pirates)
#671 Rich Rodriguez (Giants)
#704 Wade Boggs - Photo Variation (Rays)



















This is the 2nd Wade Boggs pulled already and I believe this is the photo variation.

Pack 6:
#722 Ramn Tatis - Gold (Rays)
#062 Andruw Jones (Braves)
#144 Lance Johnson (Cubs)
#290 Josh Booty (Marlins)
#392 Cal Eldred (Brewers)

Pack 7:
#718 Bobby Smith - Gold (Rays)
#050 Devon White (Dbacks)
#174 Jaime Navarro (White Sox)
#235 Jaret Wright (Indians)
#345 Hal Morris (Royals)
#491 Tim Spehr (Mets)
#591 Kevin Polcovich (Pirates)
#690 Edgar Martinez (Mariners)
#067 Greg Maddux - Photo Variation (Braves)



















Ah ha!  I was right!  The previous Greg Maddux I pulled was most likely the regular card. This is a great variation photo, especially for a pitcher.  It oughta fit nicely in my "Batting Pitchers" collection.

Pack 8:
#670 Steve Reed - Gold (Giants)
#045 Clint Sodowsky (Dbacks)
#760 Kelvin Escobar (Jays)
#744 Aaron Sele (Rangers)

#221 Mike Jackson (Indians)
#319 Tony Eusebio (Astros)
#461 DaRond Stovall (Expos)
#399 Geoff Jenkins (Brewers)
#717 Tony Saunders (Rays)

#757 Jose Cruz, Jr. - Gold (Jays)
#100 Arthur Rhodes (Orioles)
#188 Brook Fordyce (Reds)
#740 Darren Oliver (Rangers)
#388 Eric Young (Dodgers)
#504 Hideki Irabu (Yankees)
#620 Willie McGee (Cardinals)
#367 Jim Eisenreich (Dodgers)
#743 Ivan Rodriguez (Rangers)

Pack 11:
#649 Mark Sweeney - Gold (Padres)
#076 Gerald Williams (Braves)
#193 Damian Jackson (Reds)
#251 Nelson Liriano (Rockies)
#075 Walt Weiss (Braves)
#518 Darryl Strawberry (Yankees)

#452 Scott Livingstone (Expos)
#555 Ricky Bottalico (Phillies)
#695 Heathcliff Slocumb (Mariners)
#652 Tony Gwynn - Team Checklist (Padres)



















I guess it seems appropriate that this Gwynn shows up with him being Pacific's spokesperson and all.

That does it for Online for now.  Going to switch gears and tackle a few packs of Paramount next.  If your teams didn't do so well in terms of number of cards, don't worry as there are still 24 packs of Online to rip!

  1. I wasn't very excited by anything from my teams, but since I need the bulk of the Brewers for my team set, any Brewers is better than no Brewers. Oh and I use to love when you'd put up the running total of cards pulled for the different teams, but don't feel like you have to do that, esp since your writing up every pack. can't wait to see more!!

  2. I'm planning on doing a card count by team for each box...

  3. 12 packs and I got Nelson Liriano (+ some Phillies). I'm definitely glad this just a third of the box though. It is kind of weird that half of the golds were Rays, maybe it will start to somewhat even out.

    1. The Rays and DBacks are racking up parallels. Strange indeed.
