2011 Topps Series 1

These packs came from the Alley family in North Carolina and I should have posted these weeks ago, but then I found that there were some Red Sox variations in the series 1 set and wanted to find out a little more.
Besides the 'Diamond Sparkle' parallel cards, there are two cards showing Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford in the Red Sox uniform.
The #25 Carl Crawford comes in three variations:

#25A Carl Crawford in a Bay Rays uniform,
#25B Carl Crawford in a Red Sox uniform,
#25C Carl Yastrzemski (in a Red Sox uniform).

The Adrian Gonzalez card is #350, which makes it unique as the series 1 set is #to 330.
So what do these five packs bring forth...

So no diamond sparkles or short print Red Sox, but a good selection from 5 packs.The Platinum diamond cards are a little extreme but I really like the Kimball Champions set, I really am a sucker for the vintage look.
