$5 Group break


Here is the premise, as mastermined by Thorzul -A $5 group break.
He asked people to share in his opening of a staggering 82 packs and 400 loose cards. Golly.
Pick a team and the cards would be yours. I was quick to choose because I know that there are many Red Sox collectors.


What did I get for my $5?
