182 Packs of Baseball - 076 - East Meets Aura

Puttering right along, we've menaged to reach day 76 in our season-long adventure of opening at least one pack of baseball cards for each day.  We are moving closer and closer to the halfway point, but we still have a bit of road ahead before we reach that mile marker.

In the meantime, let's rip open some 1997 Pinnacle Hobby New:

Chris Snopek - White Sox
Travis Fryman - Tigers
Gary Sheffield - Marlins - East Meets West
Cal Ripken Jr - Orioles
Robb Nen - Marlins

Henry Rodriguez - Expos
Juan Gonzalez - Rangers - AURA
Andy Benes - Cardinals
Tim Naehring - Red Sox
Roberto Hernandez - White Sox

Hey, we pulled another "East Meets West" *and* an Aura card!  This pack was nice enough to throw a Ripken our way, too.  That makes back-to-back Ripken packs!  No Indians, but hopefully that will change in packs to come.



Each day of the regular baseball season, I am busting open a pack of baseball cards.  These are packs that I have laying around and/or that I have purchased recently on a whim.  I list the cards in the pack and scan in some of them.  I shoot for 9 cards, but sometimes I may scan more, other times fewer.  It all depends on how things hit me in that particular pack.  Oh yes, there will be duplication.  I have a TON of packs from certain brands/years.  I will, however, try to mix things up throughout the season.

For those keeping score, I know there are not actually 182 GAMEDAYS in the 2012 season.  I am counting ALL the days between Opening Day and the last day of the regular season.  Frankly, it's easier that way.  Thanks for playing along.

Also, you are welcome to claim teams/players (Max 3 total). Rules are at the following:
