Delivery Time! A Shiny Catastrophe Awaits!

I, of course, mean catastrophe in a good way - you know, like Cardboard Catastrophes.  Jeff, from the already linked blog, and I recently completed a little trade that sent some 2011 Topps base cards and 2011 Topps Heritage cards his way and a bunch of shinies my way!

2011 Topps:
Diamond parallels:

333.  Tom Wilhelmsen
335.  Buster Posey

Posey's injury probably forced the Giants into the move to acquire Beltran.  Since it looks like my Reds won't be making the playoffs this year, I definitely will be rooting for the Giants over the Cardinals...or Brewers...  
346.  Jose Bautista
367.  Hiroki Kuroda
394.  Austin Jackson
460.  Cole Hamels
485.  Delmon Young
490.  Matt Holiday
492.  A.J. Burnett

There's something that seems wrong about where the baseball is in relation to Burnett's arm.  I'm wondering if Topps Photoshopped the ball into the picture...
500.  Kevin Youkilis
519.  Corey Hart
539.  Brandon Lyon
562.  Gordon Beckham
583.  Ryan Spilborghs
619.  Jonny Venters
642.  Jason Hammel
656.  Raul Ibanez

There is a lot of green on this card - which is a bit jarring given that it is a card of a Phillie (you'd expect red to be the primary color)...

Of course, each of the above diamond parallels also nets Jeff an entry into my complete set giveaway contest.

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