BY THE NUMBERS:
Total Cards: 10

Teams Represented: 9
Rookie Cards: 1 (Ramirez)
Sub Sets: 0
Parallels: 0
Inserts: 1 (Starquest, as promised)
Hits: 0
Keepers for Me: 2 (Vlad, Castro)

MY RATINGS:
Front Design: 6.5 out of 10 Good pictures, all action shots, plain design, no foil,  no team logo.
Back Design: 8.5 out of 10 Nice design, team logo, good player info and factoid, full career stats, player picture.
Player Selection: 7 out of 10 Good, all relevant players.

FINAL OVERALL RATING: Sacrifice  Fly Out  to center field.  Only 20% keepers and a plain front puts an out in the book but the great backs and Vlad insert moves the runner from second to third.
