Mom and Dad gave me two jumbo packs for Valentines Day this year. I got a couple of Cardinals including a Stan Musial Lost Card that Dad forgot to scan for this post. Here are three of the cooler inserts.
Pack 1
Miguel Montero Cyan Printing Plate 1/1. The first printing plate and 1/1 card I’ve ever pulled out of a pack!
Geovany Soto Jersey. Ugh… another Cub relic. First Castro, now Soto. Its hard to make out in the picture but the jersey is actually dirty. Still pretty cool that there was a jersey and printing plate in the same pack though.
Pack 2
Clayton Kershaw Sparkle card. This is my first sparkle card.
These are up for trade for similar Cardinals or favorite players (Markakis, Roberts, Hamilton, Braun, Lincecum) printing plate, jersey or sparkle cards.

Congrats on the sparkle. That is pretty awesome.
If I track down a Cardinal sparkle, I will find you for that Kershaw sparkle.
Deal! Do you know if there is a checklist for the sparkle cards or does every card have a sparkle version?
Sparkle cards?! Is this real?

That's what they've found so far. Looks like Garcia, Pujols and Carpenter are the Cardinals.
That link didn't appear right.
So:
Go to baseballcardpedia.com, click on the "all sets by year" link in the left-hand column, then click on the 2011 link, then click on the "2011 Topps, Series One" link, then click on the "Diamond Sparkle Gimmicks (Twinks) link, which is one of the sub-categories under "checklist."
That will give you the checklist of the known "sparkle" cards found so far.
