April 2013 Affordable Group Break - 1998 Pacific Paramount

Changing gears, let's rip a few packs of the inaugural issue of Pacific Paramount.  This time around we have one copper hobby exclusive parallel per pack and a chance at several different die-cut inserts (Team Checklist 2:37, Special Delivery 1:37, Fielder's Choice 1:73) as well as more parallels and inserts (Platinum Blue 1:73, Holographic Silver #'d to 99, Pacific Proofs #'d to 20, Cooperstown Bound 1:361).  Let's see how we do.
