I walked in looking for blasters, of which they had none. Then I noticed the huge amount of packs, so I picked up a bunch.
I have to say - I really like the design. The backs are very clean, and the numbering problem of last year is gone; whereas there were cards last year that you could barely read the card number (black on dark blue), these all have black circles in the top right on the back with the card number in white. As a set collector, I appreciate it.
I didn't sort anything except the inserts, nor have I scanned. The doubles can be had.
Red backs: Cobb, Foxx (x2), Wright
Gold: Thome
Toppstown: Lincecum (Gold), Upton (Gold), Hamilton, Tejada, Howard (x2), Youk (x3), Vlad (x2), Jones (x2), McCutchen
History of the Game: Baseball hits the airwaves.
Turkey Red: Ozzie, Utley, Kemp, Hamilton
Tales of the Game: Piersall, Schilling, Manny
Cards Your Mom Threw Out: '01 Ichiro (regular back), '57 F. Robinson, '73 Bench, '78 Ryan, '90 Thomas, '08 Lincecum, '09 Longoria. Seriously, cards from the last two years in this set don't make sense. Anwyay...
Peak Performance: Musial, Young, Papi
Legendary Lineage: Ruth/ARod, Ripken/Jeter, J. Robinson/Kemp
Million card giveaway: Cards 2,6,8, featuring '78 Carter, '57 Mantle, '74 Munson
Parallel: Carlton Fisk (card 94, normally Pudge).
If anyone wants to see any scans, let me know.
