On the insert front there is a parallel set serially numbered to 50 along with 4 other insert sets. Double Header are some sort of playing cards and come 2 per pack. 10 Frequent Flyers (1:4), 10 Dishwashers (1:8) and 10 Super Heroes (1:20).
Ok, now we know what may be inside the packs let's rip some and find out!
Pack 1
#03DH Barry Bonds - Double Header (Giants)
#14DH Cal Ripken Jr. - Double Header (Orioles)
#031 Edgardo Alfonzo (Mets)
#142 Livan Hernandez / Trivia (Marlins)
#133 Mo Vaughn / Name Plates (Red Sox)
#079 Randy Johnson (Mariners)
#080 Ken Griffey Jr. (Mariners)
#081 Alex Rodriguez (Mariners)
#082 Fred McGriff (Rays)
#008 Henry Rodriguez (Cubs)
#099 Rod Myers / Little Dawgs (Royals)
#110 Ricky Ledee / Little Dawgs (Yankees)
Right off the bat you can see that the collation isn't the best here as we got several consecutive numbered cards. I should also mention these are some of the thinnest cards I've seen in quite sometime. The Double Header cards have rounded corners and feel like playing cards. The backs give you instructions on how to play the game.
Pack 2
#09DH Chipper Jones - DH (Braves)
#20DH Jose Cruz Jr. - DH (Blue Jays)
#051 Jason Dickson (Angels)
#112 Derrek Lee / LD (Marlins)
#058 Albert Belle (White Sox)
#134 Chipper Jones / NP (Braves)
#135 Juan Gonzalez / NP (Rangers)
#006 Greg Maddux (Braves)
#007 Sammy Sosa (Cubs)
#028 Mark Grudzielanek (Expos)
#004 Chipper Jones (Braves)
#100 Juan Encarnacion / LD (Tigers)
When was the last time it was cool to use the phrase "dawg" (I'm looking at your Randy Jackson)? The Little Dawgs subset isn't my favorite by a long shot.
Pack 3
#02DH Albert Belle - DH (White Sox)
#13DH Mike Piazza - DH (Dodgers)
#121 Nomar Garciaparra / 7th Inning Sketch (Red Sox)
#FF7 Barry Bonds - Frequent Flyer (Giants)
#D6 John Smoltz - Dishwashers (Braves)
#054 Roberto Alomar (Orioles)
#055 Mo Vaughn (Red Sox)
#106 Mark Kotsay / LD (Marlins)
#107 Desi Relaford / LD (Phillies)
#098 Miguel Tejada / LD (A's)
#069 Johnny Damon (Royals)
#050 Tim Salmon (Angels)
2 hits in the same pack! Too bad one of them was Barry Bonds. I'm sure we'll get more of the Frequent Flyer cards so I'll save the scan for a better player. I've also got the say the Dishwashers insert set is very odd. I don't get the concept, but the foil design isn't that bad despite the odd name. A Brave to boot as well!

#026 Jeff Cirillo (Brewers)

#100 Juan Encarnacion / LD (Tigers)
