Collation wasn't that great (again) and the teams that got cards got a lot of dupes...sorry! I guess every box can't be a home run. All is not lost however as again some great photography can be found on the base cards and one team landed a very nice looking insert...from a set I'm not thinking about building!
To replace the parallels and inserts (to some degree) each pack comes w/ 4 double foil stamped subset cards - Transactions is one of these. These feature trades that occurred mid-season.
The other double stamped subset is called Extreme Corps and features the sluggers of the game. I'm sure Tom from Angels, In Order will be happy w/ another Salmon.
The Crystal Ball inserts feature some of the young stars at the time and feature lots of Prismatic foil...however we didn't get one of those young starts like Jeter or Chipper. This card will be randomed off to the teams that didn't get an insert.
Now this is fine looking insert! These Power Zone cards feature Power Matrix technology and look really nice in hand. Congrats to Robert on this awesome looking Molitor!
