Serial Saturday #2: Hitting the 10% mark

For some crazy reason, I was up at 615 on a Saturday morning.  Not sure why, it's not like I had anything important or pressing to do today.  I figured while waiting for Hurricane Matthew to hit south Florida, I'd get a post or two done to pass the time.

Still a ton of cards to show off for the SNI set, so let's get another couple of pages shown and see what's happening.

A couple of more cards from Max @ the Starting Nine blog bring his personal total to 14 cards submitted, almost 10% of what I've displayed.  The 1999 Bowmans Best is the first pre-2000 card to be shown, I'll be curious to see how many cards are in the set that were made before the turn of the century.

I don't think you'll see this again in the set; Boston actually has 3 consecutive cards on a page (#149-151).  Once in a while you will see the same player on a page twice, which happens here with Manny Ramirez.  At least the Ramirez cards are from different sets and teams. 

St. Louis also becomes the first team to hit double digits, with the Pujols '07 Moments and Milestones card becoming the 10th card for them.  There's still a long way to go to hit 1500, but at least there will be a lot of cards to see...
