1997 Score Series II Baseball BoxWell it didn't take me long to get the 2nd box. Like my 1st 97 Score box, I got a great deal on this. 36 packs and 10 cards per. Some subsets, parallels and inserts to be found. Unlike the first release, the 2nd series has some subsets - 3 of them.

Artist's Proof - Holofoil (1:35 packs?) Nice one here : Piazza Goin' Yard
It can be an enjoyable break. 220 card set from 360 cards, I was actually short one rookie and at least it wasn't a major one - Kevin Orie. The mojo gods weren't present with the parallels. There were fewer of the Showcase Series in series 2 and only one was a rookie. However I did pull a nice holofoil proof of a subset card. I pulled the worst subject from Blast Master but turned it around with one of the best pulls from the tougher chase insert. It came with sacrifice, coming up without a Heart Of The Order - seeded in every 23 packs. More breaks to come.
