USAB-SS - Stephen Strasburg - USA National Team non-auto insert

I'm hoping Series 2 collation is as bad as 2009 Series 1 was. It seemed like I got the same USA 18U guys in the three boxes I opened, so if that holds true, I'll probably have another 2-3 Strasburg non-auto inserts by the time I finish opening my 3 Series 2 boxes.

The box of 2010 Topps Series 1 is done. No hits to post from that box but I will do a posting when I finish cataloging the cards to let you know how close I got to building one set by ripping one hobby box and two 24-pack (retail?) boxes.

I'm starting my set-building of 2009 UD Series 2 today.

Cards Your Mom Threw Away - 1964 Topps Brooks Robinson - original back
ToppsTown Josh Hamilton

I saw something interesting with the Robinson card. I happened to notice there is the modern-day topps logo on the card front. I searched for and found an image of the original card and it has no topps logo on the front, let alone the modern topps logo. For the older cards before Topps designed their current logo, I figure this current topps logo on the front makes it easier to tell from a scan if you are looking at a Cards Your Mom Threw Away reprint or if you are looking at the original card. If the card is old and original, I figure there will be no logo or the logo will be the old-school topps logo.
