2011 Topps - two of the nicest insert sets in over 10 years.

Very sweet looking card. I dig the diamond parallel.

Checklist is here:
http://www.sportscardradio.com/index.ph ... -checklist

According to this checklist Dawson is not in the 60th reprint relic/autos, but in the base relic/autos which are stickers.
My fleeting interest is already gone. :lol:

Thanks for the checklist...I don't see posada though very dissapointing. I think this is the first product he's been left off ever.

Odd, he is not listed on the checklist but this picture is supplied.

Can't wait for the Carlos Gonzalez Diamond Canary 1/1 to pop up. Those look sick!

Oh, and I will be searching using carl* gon*, as to not miss out on it due to a mispelling ::facepalm:: :lol:

Try "Carl* Gonza*"

It might narrow it down a bit more

My son and I ripped two blaster boxes and a jumbo pack. 3 diamonds per blaster, 1 in the jumbo. Best one was Chris Sale... and two Garrett Jones... ::facepalm:: Also pulled one Diamond Collection redemption (like the MCG) per blaster... unfortunately, the redemption site is not live yet.

Are the blasters over $15 per? Or are they 9.99?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Marked $19.99; rang up $17.99.

Breakdown is 10 packs - of those packs, 2 are "retro packs" - 8 cards, with the old school topps logo and cardboard backs, plus one manufactured logo patch.

Got Ian Desmond's Expos patch and Chase Utley's 1972 Phillies patch. My son is happy.

How's that diamond parallel? is it almost like a printing plate? Sure looks it!

More like a normal card with fancy frontage...

Safe to say the Diamond Giveways are essentially the same as MCG?

Jeff, were your blasters from Target?

I'm assuming these "Diamond Parallels" aren't really that rare, correct?

No.... they are like the Topps Gold parallels. Dont think they are #'d tho. But they do have a 1/1 version and a real diamond version.

I do like the look of the diamond edition parallels, better than just another gold card. But they don't look like much of a step up from the 1995 technology from Score.

I just broke a jumbo box and I must say the Diamond Anniversary inserts are very appealing in hand. Complete sets will look great. Here is the rest of the box breakdown: http://tinyurl.com/6bnvybl
