And... we're back. Here's the running list of who gets what, so far:

Community Gum: Greg Maddux cards

BA Benny: Mets and Yankees

thewritersjourney: Reds

Pack 19:

343 - Craig Grebeck

184 - Stan Javier Cyberstats

142 - Mike Stanley

53 - Matt Smith Draft Pick

LL22 - Andy Benes League Leaders (I think this is only the third League Leader of the box so far?)

363 - Mark Farris Draft Pick

390 - Dante Bichette / Kirby Pucket All-Stars (A couple of guys without hats.)

352 - Scott Kamieniecki

291 - Jose Oquendo (I wonder if Oquendo will ever get a shot to manage the Cardinals.)

344 - Kirk Rueter

307 - Mike Henneman

353 - Gary Gaetti

256 - Eric Plunk

124 - Todd Benzinger

178 - Karl Rhodes (Nice post about Tuffy over here.)

Pack 20:

126 - Eduardo Perez ("See, here? This is how you get my smooth side.")

25 - Scott Sanders Cyberstats

66 - Ismael Valdes

331 - Alex Cole

41 - Mark Leiter (Why do I feel like I've seen these cards before?)

313 - Ramon Castro Draft Pick (One of the last remnants of the old Astros color scheme, I guess.)

253 - Lance Blankenship

191 - Roberto Hernandez

144 - Tommy Greene

44 - Bret Barberie

186 - Wilson Alvarez (Alvarez walked a league high 122 batters in 1993, yet still managed an ERA under 3.00.)

160 - Benny Santiago (Better known as Benito. I don't know what was up with Topps and their forced nicknames.)

216 - Alex Diaz (He's flying!)

280 - John Franco

236 - Jeff Brantley ("The Cowboy")

Pack 21:

275 - Ramon Martinez (Very, very good pitcher for a time. Pedro was known as "Ramon's brother" for awhile.)

59 - Tim Davis Cyberstats

84 - C.J. Nitkowski Draft Pick

112 - Terrence Long Draft Pick

303 - Steve Buechele

391 - Mike Piazza / Mike Stanley All-Stars (A couple of backstop All-Star Mikes. One of them had a little bit better career than the other.)

48 - Pete Harnisch

249 - Bill Gullickson (20-game winner in 1991.)

376 - Tom Urbani (Joins John Urrea in the 'U' section of my Cardinals binders.)

64 - Matt Mieske

72 - Carlos Reyes

45 - Dennis Eckersley

275 - Ramon Martinez

268 - Greg Harris (I think there were two Greg Harrises around this time, but no one with that name was very memorable.)

120 - Len Dykstra

Pack 22:

105 - Ken Caminiti

105 - Jeff Kent Cyberstats

368 - Mike Butcher

213 - Pat Hentgen

56 - John Smiley (Another former 20-game winner - 1991.)

271 - Mike Stanton (Not to be confused with the Marlins rookie outfielder.)

346 - Armando Benitez Star Track

114 - Daryl Boston (I don't think Daryl Boston ever played for the Red Sox, unfortunately.)

352 - Scott Kamieniecki (This has to be at least the 4th card of his in the box. I only noticed because I really don't enjoy typing his last name.)

101 - David Segui

305 - Orel Hershiser (Another sky photo. Hershiser actually led the league in losses twice, thanks to the red numbers on the back of the card.)

130 - Jeff Conine

143 - Bob Hamelin

21 - Orlando Merced

201 - Steve Frey

Pack 23:

17 - Dave Nilsson (Extreme!)

33 - Bret Barberie Cyberstats

336 - Benji Gil Star Track

212 - Ben Grieve Draft Pick (This probably would have been a big deal back in the day.)

369 - Brad Clontz / Steve Phoenix / Scott Gentile / Bucky Buckles Prospects (Yes, those are supposedly real names. Look 'em up if you want to.)

136 - Mike Dyer

261 - Dwight Smith

238 - Matt Nokes (I share a birthday with Mr. Nokes.)

111 - Tom Pagnozzi (With backup catcher Jason LaRue done for the season after being bicycle kicked by Johnny Cueto, the Cards called up prospect Bryan Anderson instead of Matt Pagnozzi, Tom's nephew. I can't complain about that.)

339 - Mike Fetters

5 - David Cone

135 - Julio Franco (Part of me doesn't want to believe that Julio Franco retired.)

161 - Jose Mesa

236 - Jeff Brantley

51 - Al Martin

Pack 24:

357 - Chris Gwynn

83 - Julio Franco Cyberstats (Part of me doesn't want to... oh, wait.)

142 - Mike Stanley

260 - Andy Van Slyke

3 - Babe Ruth 100th Birthday

393 - Danny Jackson / Jimmy Key All-Stars

354 - Todd Stottlemyre

367 - B.J. Surhoff (WOW! LOOK AT HOW HIGH THAT BELT IS!)

276 - Dave Henderson

325 - Kevin Appier

303 - Steve Buechele

265 - Bip Roberts (In a way, this whole box has been a bit of a Bip.)

Pack 25:

269 - Ricky Jordan

103 - Raul Mondesi Cyberstats (There's one for Night Owl.)

213 - Pat Hentgen

66 - Ismael Valdes

5 - David Cone

301 - Aaron Sele

385 - Carlos Baerga / Bret Boone All-Stars

60 - Jim Abbott

334 - John Flaherty

141 - Chuck McElroy

110 - Walt Weiss (E6?)

201 - Steve Frey

318 - Jamie Moyer (I wonder if Julio Franco ever calls up Moyer and gives him advice on playing until he's 50.)

Pack 26:

216 - Alex Diaz

40 - Edgar Martinez Cyberstats

267 - Alex Gonzalez Star Track

123 - Kevin Gross

337 - Jason Jacome

319 - Todd Zeile

171 - Calvin Reese Future Star

356 - Tim Mauser

238 - Matt Nokes

134 - Tim Spehr

159 - Bill Wegman

1 - Frank Thomas (Yes, I'm running out of things to say. Okay, Thomas was good.)

126 - Eduardo Perez

320 - Chris Bosio

324 - Ryan Klesko (Klesko is about to trip over the insanely huge rookie cup.)

Pack 27:

283 - Dave Magadan

81 - Jeff Conine Cyberstats

112 - Terrence Long Draft Pick

190 - Craig Biggio (It always annoyed me that Biggio leaned into almost every pitch.)

319 - Todd Zeile

396 - Checklist

395 - Checklist (The checklists are kind of a rainbowy mess.)

30 - Paul Molitor (Is there a first ballot Hall of Famer out there that gets less respect?)

182 - Milt Cuyler

68 - Junior Felix

329 - Tim Naehring

283 - Dave Magadan

211 - Kirt Manwaring

265 - Bip Roberts

25 - Jay Buhner

One more post to go with this one. Look for it around this time Wednesday night.
