2007 Topps football inserts and parallels

Insert design is important, some are great, some are just there, but the hgihlight shows some of each.

Highlights:

Four different inserts/parallels all from one set - 2007 Topps football. Interesting to see the range of designs given they are inserts to the same set. Haven't seen the Hobby Masters cards at all before. Not a bad design, and the shininess is nice. I like the idea with Topps of a parallel set numbered to the year - I enjoy it in baseball - but I don't really love the actual copper colour.

The rest
Keepers:

Poof - up from 75% to 80% now - a good day. Although I lost a lot of respect for him and his accomplishments post-career, Jose Canseco during his playing days was such a force, especially with his Bash Brother Mark. Still nice to get, but even moreso - Joe Wood - wow, nice pic and awesome card for someone born well over 100 years ago.

Traders:

Yeah, a lot of 2005 Classics cards today, and nice doubles here for sharing if anyone is interested.
