2016 Topps Minor Baseball box break

Got my hands on box of this year's Topps Minor League baseball. For those who enjoy minor leagues its a fun set put together. Got 3/4 of the base set and no duplicates. As for the variations and the inserts I got the following:
Three Minor Miracles cards featuring the following highlights: Derek Fisher California League debut, Mike Hessman the minor league homerun king, and Jordan Patterson game-winning homerun at New Britain final game. I would not be surprise if Fisher made it to Astros club next season. Patterson did get cup of coffee in the majors this season. Hessman retired and became a coach.
Blue border base card of Felix Jorge and Willie Calhoun which runs 1:10 packs and serial to 99.
1967 Topps sticker cards of the following: Dansby Swanson (this gonna sting Diamondbacks for a long time), Christian Arroyo, Jon Harris, Derek Fisher, Mike Gerber, and Screwball (Reading Fightin Phils mascot)
Base facsimile signature of one Dodgers hottest pitching prospect Jose DeLeon.It runs 1:123 pack. Impressive.
On-card autograph of Brett Phillips who spent his season at Double-A.
Raimel Tapia game-used jersey card who spent time with Rockies AA, AAA, and major league club this season. For the jersey its likely from his time as New Britain Rock Cats from last season which became Hartford Yard Goats.

Now I need to finish the final 1/4 of the base set along with the short prints.
