On the first one, it is a Brothers in Arms insert, and not the base set.

Once piece of advice that I can give to you STAY AWAY FROM RETAIL packs/boxes. You are way better off buying hobby if you like to bust packs. You're also better off going with quality products such as Contenders, Topps Chrome, SP Authentic/Ultimate Collection (NFL uniforms) and depending on your budget National Treasures.

On the final photo, Art Monks card is an Immortals card, which are all former players. The other two are new generation, which are rookie cards. On the third photo, the Borland is a base rookie auto from Hot Rookies, while the Rainey and Keenum are base veteran autos, which always say Inscriptions, the other ones are an insert set from Hot Rookies called... Hot Rookies. Hope this helps!

Cardboardconnection.com has pretty good online checklists, as you get more into it, you can check there for info. EBay is also an extremely valuable tool as people try to put as much detail as possible, especially on rare parallels in the hopes more people will see it. Become familar with the completed sales function. Beckett holds some value, but most people dont use book value anymore and they may not always include low # stuff
