Delivery Time! Cards from my Brother (Part 2)

You may recall part one of a giant package of cards from my brother was posted a couple of days ago.  It's now time for part 2!

The main part of part 2 was 2011 Topps Heritage.  My brother must have busted the equivalent of two or three cases of Heritage by now - which means he ended up with a lot of short prints doubles that I needed!  In fact, I believe this sets the record for the most ever short prints sent to me in a single package!  In addition to the short prints, he also helped me out with the last pesky base card that eluded me thus far...

Here's what he sent me:
Base:
14.  Carlos Pena
431.  Welington Castillo
433.  Kyle Davies
434.  Carlos Ruiz
435.  Huston Street
441.  Jorge De La Rosa
446.  Carlos Marmol
447.  Shin-Soo Choo
449.  Elvis Andrus

451.  Ben Revere
452.  Adam Lind
455.  Joe Saunders
457.  J.D. Drew
458.  Ian Kennedy
463.  Bob Geren
466.  Miguel Cabrera
469.  Alexei Ramirez
471.  Josh Hamilton

474.  Vladimir Guerrero
476.  Baltimore Orioles
477.  Yunel Escobar
478.  David Wright
481.  Kila Ka'Aihue
494.  Rookie Parade (Enright, Minor, Wood, Sanabia, Storen)
495.  Rookie Parade (Cashner, Venters, Jansen, Mejia, Axford)
496.  Rookie Parade (McKenry, St. Pierre, Hatcher, Nickeas, Hill)

Wow!  Like I said, that's a MASSIVE amount of short prints (26 in total) that I needed!  Thanks to my brother, I'm now down to a manageable 18 cards missing from the 2011 Heritage set (426, 436, 443, 445, 453, 454, 456, 460, 461, 464, 465, 467, 468, 475, 482, 488, 489, 499).

Although all those short prints would be more than enough in a single package, he wasn't done knocking cards off my want list quite yet.

He also managed to knock off the missing inserts that I tried to collect from 2011 Heritage:

Baseball Flashbacks:
2.  Brooks Robinson
4.  Robin Roberts
6.  Whitey Ford

Then & Now:
2.  Robinson & Cabrera
4.  Aparicio & Pierre
5.  Mantle & Fielder
6.  Roberts & Hernandez
9.  Spahn & Halladay
10.  Gibson & Halladay

And finally:

News Flashbacks:
1.  Cuban Missle Crisis Begins
3.  Mona Lisa Exhibited in US for First Time
5.  US Navy Seals are Activated
10.  Robinson Enshrined in Cooperstown

All I can say for all of the Heritage cards, is "wow!"  Thank you brother!

Oh wait, there's still more goodies in the package...

How about two cards off my 2008 Topps Heritage want list?
699.  Jeremy Reed

And Rookie Performers:
RP8.  Carlos Gonzalez

And, the last stack of cards in the box?  A pile of 42 Diamond Parallel cards from 2011 Topps including Aroldis Chapman!

Thanks for all the great cards brother!  And, as always, if anyone else would like to trade - check out my want list and make an offer!
