Still no sign of that Barry Larkin copper parallel that I was hoping to pull but otherwise no complaints about this box so far.  We've gotten a great mix of players and teams - and we've pulled two of the rarer inserts/parallels already as well.  We should still have one more team checklist (they are die-cut inserts in this set) in our final five packs.
