Pack Wars II: 2008 UD Timeline

The epic (or not) Pack Wars II continues with one of the packs representing a set that I'm still actively working on - 2008 UD Timeline.  At the moment, I still need the following cards from the set:
2008 Upper Deck Timeline:Base: #235, 276, 279, 288, 300, 302, 308, 336, 341, 345, 356, 361, 363, 366, 373, 374, 375
Will this pack help me out at all or will it provide nothing but even more trade bait from the set?

Let's find out!

Pack Wars II - Pack 07:
2008 UD Timeline (6 card pack):

Let's be sure to look for our two insert cards (on average)!

3.  Carlos Beltran - Mets

I like the base set because of the matching team colors.  +2 for that.

21.  Tim Lincecum - Giants
I'm still bitter that Lincecum remembered how to pitch in the NLDS against my Reds.  -2

39.  CC Sabathia - Brewers
It's CC as a Brewer, that ought to count for something.  +1

81.  Matt Tolbert - Twins
My scanner cut the top of the card off, whoops!

The UD Timeline set is a big mess of short prints.  I believe the rookies (51-100) were seeded 1 per pack or maybe 1 per every 2 packs.  +2 because I'm feeling generous.

134.  Vladimir Guerrero - Angels

There are plenty of subsets (of varying degree of rarity) in the UD Timeline set, all of which are based on past Upper Deck sets.  I happen to have this entire subset complete but even so, it's a nice looking set.  +2

Gold parallel:  63.  Masahide Kobayashi - Indians

I definitely don't need this one, I have had enough difficulty putting the regular base set together, no reason for me to chase (non-Reds) parallels!  This one is up for trade, and since there are a lot of Indians collectors out there, +5 for that.

Pack total:  10 points

Not a bad total considering the fact that there are only six cards in the pack.  Unfortunately for me, I didn't get any cards that I needed so all of the cards in the pack are available for trade (along with plenty of other cards from the 2008 Upper Deck Timeline set if you are interested).
