2007 Topps Updates and Highlights baseball

When I purchased the 2007 Updates and Highlights blaster there was some method to my madness. Among my collecting goals is the 'Pursuit of Jacoby Ellsbury'. I understand that there is a very rare Jacoby Card (#100b) available in this particular set. Due to its short print nature, hinted at being 1 in 20 cases, the card goes for big money on E-bay. So when this blaster became available I leapt at the possibility of collecting a unique Jacoby Ellsbury card. Now the odds are stacked against me: the entire time I have collected Jacoby cards I have managed to pull 4 from packs, the rest coming from trades, e-bay and sheer generosity. I have about 40 cards, so that is 1:10 I have pulled myself. Hmmm. Although the hope is there, the odds are not good.
For the record:
There are 330 cards in the base set.
There are inserts: Generation Now, Mickey Mantle Home Run History and The Mickey Mantle Story. There are also 25 more cards for the A-Rod Road to 500, Barry Bonds Home Run History also a special Barry Bonds Home Run King,World Series Watch cards.
There are parallels for all the base cards in Gold (numbered to 2007), Copper (#'d to 56), First Edition (one per box) and Platinum (1-of-1).
The relic cards include: All-Star Stitches, 2007 Highlights Autographs and Generation Now Autographs.

So there was no Jacoby card in this blaster box and only one other Red Sox card. I did pick up many of the insert cards and a 'Gold' card so overall not bad for the price.
