Thanks everyone! I dont have a scanner but I will try and get a pic here soon.
And I was wrong on the colors, its 4 colors. Heyward is red, white and blue and Strasburg is only gray (I thought one was white).
Anyone got advice on a holder for this? Im sure this isnt the first "fold out" type card pulled, how do you store it?

I havent collected for over a year and last Christmas I asked my wife (then fiance) for some baseball cards as a gift, I wasnt specific and I ended up getting litterally 100 random packs for cards from 86-94. Needless to say it was a complete bust (my fault for not specifying) and I didnt even end up opening half of them.
Well I havent bought anything since then and this year I asked for cards again, this year I was more specific and asked for a pack of Ultimate, Triple Threads or National Treasures... Any higher end pack because thats what I enjoy collecting. To my suprise she got be a box (2 packs) of Triple Threads football and a box (2 packs) of Triple Threads baseball.
You can imagine my excitement, especially since I havent busted anything worthy in probabally 18 months.

Football first, only hits...
Palmer, Shipley, Gresham jerseys (all black) 9/36.
Mike Kafka RC auto/ jersey 26/50.
Oh no, please dont let this happen on my only packs in over a year...

Baseball...
George Kell jerseys (all white) 3/18. (impending disaster, this cant get worse)
.......
Stephen Strasburg, Jason Heyward RC dual auto 6 jersey (5 color) book 49/50.

Ok, that makes up for this year and last. My only problem now is what kid of holder can you get for these "book" cards? Any suggestions? Seriously, I have no idea how to store this thing. (not FS/FT).

I have a huge set of player cards organized by player that I am looking to sell, if you collect a specific player let me know. This collection is organized by player and it is mostly cards from the late 70's through mid 90's. So if you are looking for every Ripken (or anyone else) card made I probabally have what you are looking for.

Sorry, I got rid of the box before I could check the serial #.
I have gotten a few questions about trades and Im sorry but I really dont have the ability to ship/ receive anything, Im not even sure what my address is going to be in 2 weeks so trades on anything is not an option right now, again, Im sorry.

Ok, here is the SPX. I broke 2 boxes and some packs that were left over from an open box, one of the boxes was AMAZING, the other was ehhhh. I will try to let you know which came from the good box.

Box toppers- kevin Kouzmanoff auto, Jeff Baker auto.
Redemptions- Jeff Salazar auto, #137 auto (will have to look into that one, if anyone knows who it is please let me know)
Jerseys/199- Roger Clemens, Khalil Greene, Vlad, Huston Street, Paul LoDuca
Jerseys/175- Scott Rolen, Joe Nathan, Joe Mauer, Khalil Greene, Rickie Weeks
Patch (both 3 color)- Griffey Jr/99, Nick Swisher/50 (both very nice patches)
Triple Jersey- Uggla/Kendrick/Kinsler/50, Cabrera/Zimmerman/Upton/50, Ordonez/ I Rod/ Granderson/30
Young star autos- Joel Zumaya, Fransisco Liriano, Josh Willingham/25
RC autos- Miguel Montero, Andy Cannizaro, Mitch Maier, Carlos Maldonado, Eric Stults, Tim Gradoville. (not sure who most of these guys are, so if there is a good one in there please let me know)

And now the real low numbered stuff, both came from the same box.

Felix Hernandez yellow printing plate (my first 1/1!!!)

Cal Ripken Jr Iron Man 1/1, my only 1/1's came on the same day, from the same box. Its not auto'd and has the green background.

Any details on any of this stuff would be much appreciated. Thanks for looking!!

That was only a few packs of SPX, not even half a box. He did have some trilogy basketball but I have had such bad luck with that stuff in the past that I didnt want to touch it, but I know that others have done really well with it, maybe next month.

That Leinart card is real nice, but he has the strangest signature. It looks like "O Kel", all his stuff is barely ledgable.

Hey I like the puckett GU!

Is the Jack Morris a Twin or a Tiger?

I have some 80's and 90's stars if you are looking.  Let me know who you want specifically, and check out my bucket. 
Also not pictured on the bucket is a Sparky Lyle GU.

The Morris is a Tiger.
I didnt see anything in your buckett that I would part with the puckett for.
