Insert sets I've pulled so far:
Medal of Honor odds not on the pack, I'm guessing 1:2 packs
Heroes of Sport 1:4 packs
American Heroes 1:126 packs
Heroes of Sport 1:4 packs
American Heroes 1:126 packs
I'm teasing the auto so I can do a proper write up on it. You smart people can try to guess who it is. Fun fact: according to the odds on the pack it is slightly easier to pull an autograph than it is to pull a Chrome Refractor parallel. Short prints are more Obamas pairing up with the Abe man on a 1956 Topps design that was already used in AH1. The image was lovingly swiped from this pack rip right here which included a Carl Sagan card that caused me to have a cardgasm. Ablaster of this is in my future.
Anyone who plans to collect this set (I know Matt F. is), please let me know so we can share doubles and save some case on building this set. I still have a pile of doubles from series 1 so hit me up if you need some. Ok, off to the game, say a prayer to placate the Rain Gods for me.

Yeah, I bought a box last week and got 25 doubles (completed the base set, though) and I'd like more of the spaceflight cards if I can get my hands on them.
Still can't get past three stars on Free Bird in Guitar Hero.
I'm not collecting the set but i could use that Marino...
Did anyone get the Van Jones 1/1?
I bought a full set and then bought a lot of MOH cards and then bought 4 jumbos today. So I have some extras and still have doubles from last year let me know what you need.
How valuable would the J Edgar Hoover card be if he had been wearing a dress?
Wow, Paul P asks an excellent question.
dayf, do the medal of honor winners include Joshua Chamberlain?
DC:
Why yes it does:

Thanks dayf. We missed that one but will try for another set.
I think I'll be picking some of this up. It's the kind of set I can actually collect. Need to get the rest of the first set too. Only got about 30 or so of them. They make my inner history geek tingle.
