Since I have already completed this set, I'll run a little contest here. If you can identify the purpose of this part of the image (seen below), I'll send the first person to respond correctly the card of their choice from either of the first two packs I rip.

With that out of the way, it's time to get started. I have a good feeling about this box.
Let's tear in.
First pack, top to bottom:
(I should note that this top pack is filled with an unusually large amount of air. I should actually go out to my car to get my tire pressure gauge, but it's gotten a little nippy out.)
100 David Ortiz
306 Morgan Ensberg
Mini 176 Bronson Arroyo
Checklist One of Two
305 Jeremy Bonderman
197 Greg Lougainis
174 Jamie Fischer
Second pack, no air, hopefully some great pulls:
179 Matt Cain
222 Rocco Baldelli (SP)
Mini 213 Lou Pinella
Checklist One of Two
268 Washington Monument
188 Josh Willingham
260 Andruw Jones
Okay, the first pack was better. Nothing to write home about on either of them. First dibs on any card to the first correct commenter!

It looks like a summary of a checklist as best I can make out. Either that, or it's a random crop of an image to create a contest.
You're getting warm...
A checklist of what, exactly?
Perhaps I should leave a marvelous clue.
It looks like what someone would set up at a card show for a dice or wheel game in order to get certain cards if they landed on or rolled a certain number.
I think I know what it is, but I'll give other people a chance since I only have one card left for that set (and it ain't in those two packs)
Nope.
Beneath the top you can make out the numbers 1-100 (at least, and more, presumably). The top I figured referred to the fact that there were 13 cards missing from 1960's series...something. I'm wondering if "marvelous clue" is a self-referential hint. Checklist of marvel comic books?
(I'm shooting in the dark here)
Voltaire, you're so close.
I'll bet it's Silver Surfer comics specifically
Dang. Russ beat me to it; that's what I just figured.
Russ, you got it!
It's my hand-written list of Silver Surfer comic books, most of which belong to the series that began in 1987. The 1960s series refers to the one older Stan Lee/Jack Kirby issue I do own (which is in some bad shape, I can tell you).
Which card do you want?
Congrats, Russ! And thanks, thorzul, that was fun.
Ah voltaire you provided the set up. The only card out of those 2 packs I do not have is Greg Lougainis so I'll take that one.
Awesome, send your address to bill13boehm@yahoo.com
