Here's a pack I picked up for a buck at a recent card show. You don't see a lot of Topps flagship packs this old in the wild anymore, so I had to do it.
194 - Edwin Encarnacion - Here's the familiar '07 design with the black borders. It's tough to find these cards in perfect shape.
122 - Luke Scott - Here's a wide shot of an Astros player from their NL era.
33 - Ervin Santana - Born Johan Santana, Ervin may not have been as famous as the guy he formerly shared a name with, but he had a nice long career of his own that included a couple of All-Star appearances and a no-hitter.
219 - Chris Gomez - It's all oranges and reds so far.
304 - Kenny Rogers Award Winner - I recently watched the Reno 911! episode with Kenny Rogers (the late singer and occasional actor) and it was pretty hilarious.
164 - Zach Duke Gold 1331/2007 - Hey, it's former Cardinal Zach Duke!
310 - Jonathan Papelbon Red Back - For a couple of years, the Topps flagship set had parallels that were a bit more subtle than what you see today. Instead of white lettering, you get red on these.
74 - Jose Valverde Red Back - I don't recall these being so easy to come by. Two in a pack of ten cards?
158 - Noah Lowry - He was definitely a pitcher.
273 - Miguel Montero - Here's a look at the old Rookie Card logo.

Definitely a pack you don't see every day. Fun.
👍
Those red text parallels always confused me. I didn't open any of this stuff, so for some reason I though those red text parallels came in the factory sets or factory team sets.
