Miss those shampoo commercials...

Who else could we be talking about?

Highlights:

Given that it's Troy, and Turkey Red, probably my favourite card today. They even did a good job with his hair.

Lowlights:

This is too many Austin Powers cards, and not only that - none of the few missing cards are covered here...if they were, I could atleast let this one go. Busby - I really can't unsee that card.

The rest
Keepers:

Like getting O Pee Chee cards that are new, not only to me, but to Trevor - these ones are already gone to his collection since they were ones he needed.

Traders:

A good comparison here that you can see (if you agree) how nice it can be for the same design to be used across various sports for the same year. Also like that the only difference for them really is that the back is green for 2007 Topps football, and black for 2007 Topps basketball. At first I thought the Gretzky was the one I needed (the first three cards of the set are similar design), but no such luck.
