Well, we certainly pulled BIG names here! Any packs with Ryan and Ripken Jr are instant hits! We also pulled several duplicates (what I am now calling "Repeat Performance" hits). I think we had a nice mix of players and teams in here.  LaValliere has always intrigued me for some reason. He ended up playing 12 seasons in the MLB and ended up with a .268 avg. In 1993, he pulled in $2.3M and the next year dropped to $100k. Congrats to everyone that pulled out cards from these packs!
