Heavyde with some sweet luck though (high draft pick last month too)! Fortunately there are a TON of autos in this set so we should all have chances for some fun hits.

Like… 20 isn’t great but I’m pretty sure I had the worst team in the only break I’ve done here and pulled a nice card. I’m still pumped. Let’s go!

Is there is a site where I can easily see approximately what each team has? Beckett has an XLS which should work, but if there is something easier that would be appreciated!

Allow me to lament pick #s 15 & 27
After June's pick #s 12 & 29

Apparently I'm not too good at this random thing.

Super useful. Can pull the lists in PDF format, excel format, just the autos, or you can view by team on the website.

Braves, Dodgers, Mariners, Yankees seem to have the highest number of hits at first glance. A’s and Angels, and Phillies seem pretty high too.

This was a tough choice. It came down to two teams with a high number of hits.
I will go with the Atlanta Braves.
The chance at a Griffey auto was tempting though. Good luck all.

Aw nuts. Well, I had a good pick last time so getting the last pick this time is just. Unlike that lucky jerk @Deathofthebambino . Come on big Story hit!
FTR, in the first break, the random team one, I got the Dbacks. Then I got the Angels with the 1st pick in the 2nd one, and the Dbacks with the last pick. So it's evened out a bit now. :)

Nice, I can trade you lots of my Dbacks from this break to complete that coveted Dbacks team set you’re working on.

No disagreements with any of the picks thus far but being able to pick 6th and getting the Padres is such a nice get. Honestly, I was pretty happy with the team depth after seeing how these checklists broke out. Some not so amazing options but it's a deep list and I feel like there's a nice number of teams either with a top flight rookie chance, a lot of good veteran options, or a smattering of lower end rookies that could turn into something good.

I agree completely, and honestly the Padres weren't a slam dunk decision for me at 6, which speaks to the depth of the checklist.

Of course, now we'll all watch the Rockies have the biggest hit of the night while my dreams of a Tatis auto evaporate.

Yankees and Mariners moved way up the list this break because they have a ton of autos in this set. More legacy players like Griffey and Jeter.

Makes for a more balanced set in general, whereas Finest was skewed more towards the Angels with the special Trout set.

Also why it’s cool to break different sets.

Yeah this is fun seeing all sorts of different styles of sets too. I haven't collected in years. So its fun going through all the different lists itself.

I think the White Sox would be the smart play here.

But, in honor of Carl Michael Yastrzemsi, Bergs selects the Boston Red Sox with pick number 8.

@AlNipper49 is on the clock.

Oakland Athletics this time. But hope whoever gets CWS gets a beaut of a Madrigal.

right here
Let's go with Toronto. They were my AL team growing up and I had lots of fun in college in 1992 making fun of the Braves fan and then making Philly fans mad in 1993. I should probably take the Pirates. But oh well.

Napkin takes Toronto Blue Jays


@deanx0 you the man now, dawg!

Feel like I've got the 14th pick in a 13-player draft and no GM ahead of me reached.

I guess I will try for the Cal Ripken Jr. autograph by taking the Baltimore Orioles

@Tangled Up In Red is now on the clock.

Blue Jays at 13 is incredible value, and the O's were in my next tier (top tier base rookie auto in Mountcastle, four Hall of Fame caliber autos, and an additional rookie with some fun inserts). I have I think four teams remaining in the current tier, and then I pray for my preferred team to last, though I think I'm gonna be happy with whatever team I get here.

Yeah, I set mine into 3 tiers when I was looking the other day, and two of the teams in my top tier haven't gone yet. Blue Jays at 13 has me a little stunned, I thought they would go way earlier. Orioles were in the top of my second tier.

Of course, two of the teams in my bottom tier have gone, so I may be doing it all wrong anyway. Maybe the 28th spot is a blessing, LOL.
