2013 Topps Update baseball

Here is the second part of the Holiday Mega box- 5 packs of 2013 Topps Update. 
The 2013 Topps Update set honestly contains a card, that was a variation of a Prince Fielder card, of Prince George of England (Cambridge). Produced shortly after his birth and features the Rookie logo. 

This is one of the many variations that are available in Update, but unlikely that we, as ordinary collectors, will pull from a pack. It has been suggested that some of the shorter printed variations fall 1 in every 2 cases. Those a long odds. 
So what can we expect from Update? A 330 base set plus more cards to 'chase'. Eight different parallels, plus a 'BOSTON STRONG'  parallel. Silk cards, mini cards, mini relic cards, Chasing History, All-Star stitches, All-star relic...and so on. 
Further to a recent post, my 2013 collection folder is a rather bare. I still need the following Red Sox to complete the Update set:
#US63 Clay Buchholz
#US84 Stephen Drew
#US108 Ryan Kalish
#US144 Drake Britton RC
#US149 Daniel Bard
#US177 David Ortiz
