The Features: 
A trio of 1981 Topps cards (I like that year from my youth and it can almost be considered vintage now eek):
72 Barry Evens Padres
91 Tim Stoddard Orioles
237 Charlie Moore Brewers

A few stars:
1992 Fleer: 471 Darryl Strawberry Dodgers
1984 Topps: 573 Dave Kingman Mets (I prefer when he was a Cub)

An Old-Timer:
1991 Conlon Collection: 60 George Kelly NY Giants

Some Nats or Ex-Nationals:
1995 Donruss: 410 Pat Listash Brewers (Was Nats 3rd Base Coach in 2009)
1996 Donruss: 28 Pat Listash Brewers
2008 Upper Deck SP Authentic: 80 Rick Ankiel Cardinals
2006 Topps: National Baseball Card Day: T3 Ryan Zimmerman RC Nationals (I already have like 3 or 4 of these I think)

And the two oldest Vintage cards in the box:

1976 Topps:
470 Bobby Murcer Giants
644 Tom Bradley Giants

Now the two bonus packs, which was one of the main reasons to get the box in the first place.

The first pack:

2011 Topps Chrome:

73 James Shields Rays
82 Franklin Gutierrez Mariners
186 Domonic Brown Phillies
 C124 - 1962 Style Stephen Strasburg Nationals #d 303/1962

I got the whole thing mostly for the second pack:
2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces:
 115 Roberto Clemente Pirates

Captured on Canvas (blue framed) CC-JR Jose Reyes Mets 4 color (yes 4 gray/orange/blue/red) #d 12/25

Sorry about the hair on the scan. I didn't think the scanner bed needed a shave.

The Nats cards I will show in more detail over at my Curly W Cards Blog sometime.

  3. Any interest in trading that Clemente? It's one of two base cards that I'm still looking for in that set!
