Trade Bait - Finally Topps 2011 Comes to Chicago Suburbs

Fortunately this morning before heading to work I read Nachos Grande's blog, where he compares the outcome of four rack packs vs a blaster.  As a result I went a Target near work and was happy to see some 2011 Topps of my own.  I went with the four rack packs and was rewarded with six Mets (two rookies) AND a Piazza reprint.

This year I am going to collect the Met and Cubs team sets and any their inserts as well as any NY Giants or Brooklyn Dodgers inserts, so I now have:
Mets - #56,119,129,147,203,207 + Piazza reprint (original back)
Cubs - #16, KC-11

So with those wants, I thought I'd post some of the inserts I got that are up for trade. Ideally I'd like similar Topps 2011 stuff in return, but the Kimball Champs inserts are my favorite.  Let me know if you are interested!

First a gold parallel Chris Volstad - he has not really lived up to the hype, but he is still young.

The scan is crooked, not the card.

Next up a Ryan Howard Topps 60, now I am not as much a Phillie hater as many of my Met friends, but if I can turn this card into a Cub or Met it is worth it.

Finally, here is a Kimbal Champion - I am much more an NL fan than an AL fan which is part of the reason this one is up for trade.  I don't necessarily need a David Wright KC in return for this one, but something that plays to my NL or at least pitcher bias.

Claimed!

I think my favorite pull from the four rack packs was this Starlin Castro Kimbal Champion card: I love his pose on the bottom! (Not up for trade)
