2011 Topps Update blaster

Recently, I was gifted three blaster. This is the first blaster- 2011 Topps Update. 10 packs, 2 of which are exclusive blue bordered parallel cards and a commemorative flashback patch.  There is a site, far greater than this one, that provides very detailed information about virtually every card set released. That site is BsaeballCardpedia. The 2011 Topps Update set is featured here, which list the inserts, parallels and relics available.

However, the Red Sox available in the base set are: 

US1 Adrian Gonzalez
US9 Jose Iglesias RC
US20 Adrian Gonzalez
US42 David Ortiz
US78 David Ortiz
US122 Alfredo Aceves
US126 Adrian Gonzalez
US144 Kevin Youkilis
US166 David Ortiz
US257 Erik Bedard
US278 Jacoby Ellsbury
US296 Bobby Jenks
US300 Carl Crawford
Topps also added a further 50 Kimball Champions for me the chase. I have added those to the Pursuit.

Could I say with conviction that 8 Red Sox from 80 cards is a good ratio. A whole pack of Red Sox! Quite a few diamond anniversary cards as well from this blaster, particularly the cognac variation. With a stated ratio of 1in12, which are approximate odds-7 cards in 10 packs is a damn good ratio.
