10 pack 1999 Ultimate Victory break

[Greg Cleveland]

Was at a shop getting a box of Bowman Draft (break posted elsewhere) and found a bunch of these for $1. each. How could I refuse? I kept myself to 10, but wish I'd bought them all. I know the big rookies are Josh Beckett, Rick Ankiel, Alfonso Soriano, & Tim Hudson among others that are not true rookies. Still, a lot of fun to open. Here's the goods...

Rookies (1:4)--Lance Berkman, Joe McEwing, Bruce Aven and Jim Morris--"The Rookie" my first card of him so that will go nice with my auto ball.
STATure (1:6)--Manny Ramirez
Tribute 99 (1:11)--Robin Yount, 2 George Bretts (killed the odds there!)
Ultimate Competitors (1:23)--Cal Ripken
Ultimate Hit Men (1:23)--Tony Gwynn, Larry Walker
Victory Collection Parallel (1:18)--Mark McGwire

Can't complain at all. Scans? Oh yeah...

Nice break. Noce to see something different.

I think there is an fcb member who is trying to collect all of those McGwire cards from Ultimate Victory. Does anyone know who that is?

That's me! Only need three more parallels:
179 - #'d/100
151, 152 - (same parallel set as the McGwire above)


For 10 packs, NICE Greg!

AWESOME break.

I can remember scouring every gas station / walmart / retail option in and around Gainesville FL back in 99 looking for those packs.

Great stuff.

"Back in the day" I pulled a Freddy Garcia #100 parallel and a Orlando Cepeda bat card out of the same pack.
