Update Rack Pack: Inserts

Here are the inserts I pulled from the 2012 Update rack pack.  

I was super happy to see that Topps brought back the numbered gold bordered cards.  I missed them in Series 1 and Series 2, and I didn't read anywhere why they left them out.  If you like serial numbered cards the way I do, I guess you are happy they are back as well.
Golden Great John Smoltz, who is now a decent broadcast guy.
Tony Gwynn Golden Moments.
And finally, one card that is not an insert, and one that clearly is.  I pulled a Yu Darvish rookie, along with a Blockbusters Darvish card.  I don't know what to make of him. Did he live up to the hype?  One might say no, considering the Rangers didn't get far into the Postseason.  
I'm watching the Cardinals/Giants game, and it looked like Tim Lincecum was going to have an early exit, as the Cardinals scored two runs in the first inning.  He's settled down, but clearly isn't the pitcher he once was.

    It wasn't Darvish's fault the Rangers faltered at the end. He's not a hitter and that's where they went bad. I think he'll be very good next year.
