2008 Upper Deck Timeline

There are 100 cards in the base set of Timelines.
There are inserts 30 1992 UD Minor League design , 50 1994 UD All-Time Heroes design , 50 1994 SP Rookies design, 25 1995 SP Rookies design, 30 1995 SP Top Prospects design and 100 2004 UD Timelines design. This takes the total to 385 cards in the set. There are autographs of each of these cards, also gold and silver variations.
There are Cut signatures, Memorabilia and USA baseball signatures.
Confused? Please try and keep up!
I bought 3 packs from e-bay out of interest. The seller was also selling 'Hot Packs', so no memorabilia or autos here then.


Pack 1:
#2 David Wright Mets
#47 Josh Hamilton Rangers
#87 Wladimir Balentien Mariners
#128 Russell Martin Dodgers (1992 Minor league)
#132 Frank Thomas A's (1994 All-time Heroes)
#205 Ross Ohlendorf Pirates (1995 Top Prospects)
#284 Cole Hamels Phillies (2004 Timeless team)
#313 Kosuke Fukudome Cubs (1994 SP Rookie)
Pack 2:
#24 Matt Holliday Rockies
#42 Joe Mauer Twins
#96 Carlos Gonzalez A's
#102 Brandon Phillips Reds (1992 Minor league)
#157 Travis Hafner Indians (1994 All-time Heroes)
#187 Clayton Kershaw Dodgers (1995 Top Prospects)
#201 Nick Blackburn Twins (1995 Top Prospects)
#225 Daisuke Matsuzaka Red Sox ( 2004 Timeless team)
Pack 3:
#20 Albert Pujols Cardinals
#47 Josh Hamilton Rangers Gold
#69 Micah Hoffpauir Cubs
#108 David Murphy Rangers (1992 Minor league)
#177 Joey Votto Reds (1994 All-time Heroes)
#228 Justin Masterson Red Sox (2004 Timeless team) 042/100
#298 Jeff Clement Mariners (2004 Timeless team)
#373 Alberto Gonzalez Nationals (1995 Premier Prospect) Gold

I must say, I like the idea of this set but there is just too many inserts. Why not keep it simple?
There were only 2 Red Sox in the three packs. The Justin Masterson was a beauty though.
