2011 home brewed card set #1 - superstar talents

2011 Home Brewed Baseball Card Set #1

I get stuck with excess cards when busting random packs, blaster boxes, et al - for the last several years I've been trying to put loose cards together featuring a theme like 'superstar talents,' 'underrated idols' and 'through the fire.'

Superstar Talents explained

A.) Players who have established themselves as superstars, if not recognized as such, at least in actual production - younger players who have crossed over from promising talent into all-star performers, players who are entrenched in the prime of their careers and older veterans who are still at the top of their game.

B.) These cards are usually 'put together' at the beginning of the MLB season - with an initial set of 20-30 cards, an in-season update to bump the number up to about 31-36 cards and maybe a 'final update' at the end of the season to add a final group [perhaps after the World Series].

C.) There is no set number of cards [a minimum of 18 cards to about 63 cards maximum] - though multiples of nine applies, because nine is a number of cards fitting into one nine-pocket plastic sheet.
