Topps Lineage blaster break
Just gonna show off the inserts to 2011 Topps Lineage. I enjoy the inserts a lot. I am not a fan of the base cards so much, I received about 45 or so of those.
There is one relic card in each blaster of Topps Lineage. I actually pulled Kevin Youklis, but the good BF traded it for me a former Yankee. I felt much better after getting rid of the Youk card.
The Austin Jackson in a plain white swatch and the Youklis was a plain gray swatch. I like the look of the relics, but the relic itself just needs some work.
A 1975 mini insert. These might be my favorite inserts of the set, but I have not seen a 3-D in person yet. So I am waiting on those to pass full judgement.
Interestingly enough, my two chrome, refractor-type cards are of Walter Johnson and Stephen Strasburg. Both of Washington baseball fame.
These cards can be a little tricky to notice. If you don’t check the back closely enough, you may miss the Venezuelan inserts where the backs are in Spanish. I initially thought I did not get an insert in that pack, but remembered these and sure enough found a Starlin Castro.

My little stand up card is of Hunter Pence. I wonder if I could sit him on my desk and look at his high socks all day.

That Aramis Ramirez mini looks odd. They didn't use that color scheme (orange on top, yellow on bottom) in the original '75 set. One of the things I liked about this mini set is I thought they stayed true to the original color schemes.
Oh well.
