I went to Meijer for some penny sleeves and storage cases, but I couldn't help but jump on a few deals...
First they had 2010 Topps Chrome rack packs marked down to $3.99 (originally $7.99), which has the 3 packs and 3 red borders. I picked out this one because I could see one of the red border cards (EVAN LONGORIA is worth the gamble on the rest of the pack.
Red Border Pack (I'm leaving it sealed for now): Evan Longoria (front), Jake Arrieta RC (back), ??? (middle)
Base: Esmil Rogers RC, Koji Uehara, Grady Sizemore, Kevin Russo RC, Gordon Beckham, Roy Halladay, Akinori Iwamura, Franklin Gutierrez, Jesse English RC, Luke Hughes RC

Then they had 2 storage cases with packs in them marked for $9.99 (originally $19.99, "$30 value"), so I got both of those too. Result for #1:
