The biggest disappointment about these packs, besides the fact that there was only 3 Red Sox, was the GOLD RUSH cards. I understand that these were released 15 years ago however the Gold Rush cards stuck to the card next to it, not unlike in the past when the gum stuck to cards. It then tore the foil from the surface. You can see on the Dennis Martinez card, that is not a bad scan, that is the little flecks of foil missing and in this case stuck to Bobby Munoz. This was the best Gold Rush Foil card, others were much worse. I did like the checklist idea, which was satellite photos of the stadiums long before Google Earth. Also the Manny card and his 'Fresh Prince' haircut is a beauty.

So should I complain about an average set made 15 years ago, probably not.

I remember this set and the foil cards being a huge hassle. Still, wouldn't mind trading you for that Martinez sometime.
