Group Break Finale

After a short break I'm back with the last round of loose packs to finish up this month's group break.  This break has been something else what with the surprise of the "brick" packs found in the box of 1994 Score and having to search out a replacement box.  Each team has ended up with many more cards then I figured so I'm hoping I don't lose out to much when I ship out everyone's cards this weekend or early next week!

Today I've got a selection of packs ranging from 2006 through 2009.  Most of these were generously donated by fellow blogger Ryan.  Without further delay let's get ripping:

Thats it everyone.  The March group break is in the books.  Thank you to everyone that participated this month.  I can't do this without people signing up and supporting the breaks.  If you want to contribute loose packs or a box of baseball cards for a future group break please e-mail me.  Otherwise I'll most likely be back next month with another affordable group break.

The team tally list has been updated with the final numbers.  Make sure to check out the list to see how well your team(s) fared against the others.
