3 Jumbo packs of Opening Day 2013

Three lovely JUMBO packs of 2013 Opening Day, each containing 24 packs (what a terrific invention JUMBO packs are), from the Alley Family in North Carolina.
There are 220 cards available in the base set.
There are two parallel versions; blue border #2013 and purple border -obtainable only in Toys'R'Us packs.
There are a short printed variations of a number of the base cards, which appear to show the player not playing baseball but involved in activities like press conferences and hand shaking.
There are a number of inserts available; 25 Opening Day Stars, 25 Play Hard, 10 Highlights, 25 Baseball Fun, 25 Celebrations, 24 Mascots and 5 Mascot autographs( aren't they just guys in suits?)
Topps finally succumb and included autographs, 10 players possible.
Besides the Red Sox (which shouldn't be too difficult as there are very few), there is one particular insert that I intend to collect - Opening Day Stars. These lenticular cards, which had been a feature of some of Topps products in recent years, have really captured my interest.
The intention is to collect the whole set of these 3D inserts (plus the Red Sox).
