All in all, a pretty good blaster box.  Where do we stand now?  Let's see...I pulled 2 duplicates out of the blaster, we're now up to 230/600 or 38.3% complete.  The black parallels and inserts are for trade (except for the Jays, of course..) so if you see one or three that you might like to have for your collection, just drop me a comment or an email.
