Box Break: 2011 Topps Update

Alright, there's no need to bore you to death with a review of this years Topps Update.  Everybody's seen the design since last fall and we're all familiar with the inserts.  I just want to show the cards I got in case anybody is interested in trading for them.  Here's what I got out of my Hobby box, Hanger box, and Jumbo Rack Packs:

A couple of Cognac shiny legends.  Note the Morgan,  I actually pulled the regular, non-liquor shortprint from my series 2 box bust.
The rightful home run king got pulled from a later retail purchase after I scanned the other 2.
My vintage legend shortprint.  I'm not a Strawberry fan.
My vintage legend shiny shortprint. Not a bad looking card I suppose.
The Hope Diamond shiny.  I'm not really a fan of adding a parallel from past releases into packs.  What if Topps came out with a new parallel for 2009 Topps that was inserted into 2012 Topps Tribute.  Where does the madness end?
Here's my promised big jersey hit.  Clifton Pfifer Lee. Woo!

I was pleasantly surprised to pull a silk card.  These are more rare than the Black or Hope Diamond parallel.

Also, here's the list of the regular subset insert cards that were not worthy of pictorial representation:

  1. I'd love to trade for the diamond anniversary Kershaw, the cognac Loney. I'd love the Kershaw diamond anniversary, but not sure if I have enough to trade for it.

    I do know I have a cognac Reimold.
