2012 Topps Series 2 packs

Here are half of the 12 packs of series 2 that were recently sent by the Alley family in North Carolina. I can't believe it has been just under 3 years since they contacted me regarding some Match Attax football cards for their son. They have been very generous with their packs.
The last jumbo of series 2 I opened  had three Red Sox, but I have yet to pull a Red Sox insert.
There are 12 cards per pack with the possibility of a red bordered Target exclusive cards.
