2014 topps update blaster - packs 6-10 of the third update purchase i made last week

i showed packs 1-5 of the 2014 topps update blaster earlier today.  typically, each pack contained a couple of target red parallels, and then the next pack contained those same cards in their base format.

the pattern pretty much continued for the remainder of the blaster.

pack 6:

collin cowgill
collin mchugh - ryan doumit was the second target red parallel in pack 5, but the anticipated mchugh base card was missing from that same pack, so now there is a one-pack delay.  we'll see if doumit shows up in the next pack.
marcus stroman
robinson chirinos
derek norris asg

inserts:

albert pujols power players
adam eaton target red parallel
brock holt target red parallel

pack 7:

adam eaton
ryan doumit - yup, there it is.  new pattern established.
jason hammel
drew pomeranz
anthony rizzo asg

inserts:

george springer the future is now
i went to an astros game shortly after springer was called up, and he looked pretty bad at the plate.  all signs point to him being a big deal, however.

boone logan target red parallel
santiago casilla target red parallel

pack 8:

brock holt
kendrys morales - pattern broken
jason bartlett - he played in 3 games for the twins this year but gets a card in update.  i don't mind this, except for the fact that i really wanted a jamey wright card and surely the dodger spot starter/long reliever warrants a spot over a guy who didn't appear in a game after the first week or two of the season!
hunter pence asg
pat neshek asg

inserts:

paul goldschmidt asg red hot foil
yoervis medina target red parallel
steve tolleson target red parallel
parallel insert double play goodness!

pack 9:

santiago casilla
boone logan - maybe this should have been pack 8
justin masterson
paul goldschmidt asg
freddie freeman asg

inserts:

omar vizquel fond farewells
bobby abreu target red parallel
back for the first time since 2012 topps update

josh harrison target red parallel

pack 10:

yoervis medina
eduardo nunez
jackie bradley jr
greg holland asg
steve tolleson
base double play goodness!

inserts:

pedro ciriaco target red parallel
joba chamberlain target red parallel
bryce harper 1989 mini die-cut
so that's it for the packs.  here's the one-per-blaster manufactured patch:

rollie fingers 1974 world series mvp
so, for the record, i found zero dodgers in the blaster, but received a card of the mvp of a world series in which the dodgers lost.  nice.
