Group Break - 1999 Fleer Sports Illustrated

We're down to our final box of cards for January's group break.  We'll be opening a hobby box of 1999 Fleer Sports Illustrated.  I did a box of '98 Fleer SI a few months ago and it was a lot of fun.  The cards all sported great photography and we got some good inserts.

Speaking of inserts here are the inserts we're looking for.  Headliners 1:4, Ones to Watch 1:12, Fabulous 40's 1:20 packs, Diamond Dominators (pitchers 1:90, hitters 1:180).  Exclusive to hobby:  Fabulous 40's Extra (#'d to 642 & J.D. Drew autographs (hand #'d to 250)

Again, I'll only be listing the cards of the teams that were claimed.

Pack 24:
Missing!  I swear guys my box was one pack short of the 24 it should have had.  I even went back and counted the wrappers to make sure my numbering wasn't off.  Sorry everyone.  If you've participated in any of my past breaks you should know I generally throw in some extra cards to everyone's stack just because.  This time I'll toss in a few more extra to make up for the missing pack.

I'll have a wrap up post following soon with totals for each participant.  We'll also random off the various inserts (using Random.org) of teams that weren't claimed.  Because of the NFL playoffs this weekend it'll be the first of next week before I'll be able to ship off everyone's stack of cards.
