Braving a big street trade

Al texted me a few days ago saying he had a guy who wanted all of the Braves cards he could get. I organize my dupes by set, so to fill a box quickly I went through sets that are sorted by team, like 80s Fleer and 90s Upper Deck. I filled up a 200-count box and grabbed a big pile of cards from one of his boxes (we didn't have a lot of time). It was another one of those deals where I'd take what I needed and return what I didn't. I evaded junk wax and Topps base sets while still snagging a sizable pile of cards.

Starting off with this rather gray collection of '01 UD MVP and '00 Bowman. I wasn't sure how much of these sets I would need, but it turned out I needed plenty. 

Some 2014 Topps Traded, I've built most of this set from Al over the years. Plus one '88 OPC snuck in there.
Some shiny silver pack cards! Also there was what appeared to be the contents of a single opened pack of '25 Topps, with a parallel and an insert (a Brave, no less) that I needed.
Like last time, I'm offering up the dupes for trade before I give them back to Al. Starting off with some '00 Bowmans (some of them got cut off and I'm not taking the photo again. If you know you have common needs from this set, or an '88 Alvin Davis Fleer Star Sticker, let me know).
Some '14 Topps Traded, plus on '08 Traded and a Chance Sisco silver pack.
Ending with a few '00 UD MVP and the base cards of that '25 pack.
