I am pretty sure this package came from a trade done on the forums.
For the most part, these are just some basic insert cards, primarily superstars and Hall of Famers (I do think Terry Francona will be in the Hall of Fame some day). Andrew Benintendi makes an appearance from the Turkey Red insert set though. It is hard to believe now, but he looked like an upcoming superstar after his 2017 rookie season. It's been pretty much all downhill from there though.
The key to this trade for me was the Ted Williams card. This is the All-Time Diamond Kings insert. Panini took the Diamond King concept a step further and picked one player for each team's history. Some of the choices were a little surprising (Mel Ott over Willie Mays? Nolan Ryan for the Rangers?), but they definitely did the Red Sox right. Really, who else could it be than Ted Williams? I might cover this set in a future Diamond Kings roundup. There are enough off-the-wall choices to make that worthwhile.
