Inching Closer to the Complete Diamond Parallel Set

Over the past couple of days, I've agreed to a variety of trades - many of which include cards that I need from either the 2011 Topps Heritage set or the 2011 Topps Diamond parallel set.  However, it's not only agreed upon trades that are helping me - sometimes it's an "out of the blue" envelope that helps me get a bit closer to my goals...  One such envelope arrived courtesy of Julie over at Things are Funner Here.

Julie sent me a single diamond parallel that I needed (and netted herself another entry in my complete set giveaway contest)!

202.  AL HR Leaders

This is a nice card - I especially like how Topps made each player non-diamondy - the athletes really pop off the card because of it!  I've updated my contest entry standings - you can always find them on the side of my blog - but for posterity, let's see the standings as of April 28 (when I wrote this post):
