Contest Winnings from $30 a Week Habit - Part 2 (with a hit)

In Part 1, I highlighted the Yankees singles Robert from $30 a Week Habit sent me as part of my contest winnings. He also including two rack jumbo packs of Topps Update:

I NEVER pull jersey cards. Ever. The last one was in February. So imagine my excitement when I pulled this:
An All-Star workout jersey of Starlin Castro. Not just that, but it’s the Diamond Anniversary version #’d 02/60. Pretty sweet relic of one of the game’s brightest young players.
Speaking of Starlin, this came from the same pack. Is he even old enough to be on a Liquorfractor?

Keeping up with the young guns motif, two parallels of Mariners 2B Dustin Ackley. Not bad pulls at all.

Young guys still unproven, you say? Fine. How about some  HOFers:

Pretty sweet haul for two 36-card packs. Robert, I appreciate the winnings and the packs. They were a blast to open! Keep reading $30 a Day Habit – it’s always got something interesting going on.

  2. Nice. I don't imagine you plan to trade the Castros but if you decide to do so, please let me know.

    I'll try to come up with something. Thanks!
