I thought the pack price was a bit much, but I had to quench that pack busting thirst.
The base cards are nice enough, typical Heritage stuff. I didn't pull any color swaps, SPs, gum stains, or Chromes...but I didn't do too bad.
This was sitting in the middle of one pack. Not a guy or team I collect, but it's always awesome to pull an auto from Heritage! What about the other pack?
This is purported to be the SSP rookie action variation which are currently being reported as falling somewhere in the range of 2-3 per case! Not a bad pull and for a split second. I contemplated putting it up for sale on eBay, but I have decided it will reside in my collection as probably the best Schwarber RC I will have. Glad I went to grab those packs, but I'm afraid that the flood gates will really open up once I start seeing these packs at the local Target(s). Thanks for reading! Hopefully I'll be back to the regularly planned post tomorrow.
For a spur of the moment purchase, that's really good. As for the pack price you mentioned, most of the places I've seen online are selling it for about $3.50 a pack. Last year, the three LCS's in my area ranged from about $3.49 - $3.99 so I'd say that's about the standard price.
ReplyDeleteIs the Curt Simmons autograph available for trade?
ReplyDeleteHey - you got my packs! Clearly those were meant for a Cubs fan :)
ReplyDeleteActually, these packs were clearly meant for a Cardinals fan to open.
DeleteNice, now I'm going to have to buy some.. curse you!
ReplyDeleteI went looking for Heritage yesterday... no luck.
ReplyDeleteI dislike these Heritage cards but will pick up a box tonight. Thanks SO much, Tim!
ReplyDeleteI got a bunch of Cardinals as well... but also got some Rays, Nats and Yanks. Some will be in the incoming package!
ReplyDeleteYou did pretty well, man! Awesome auto and SSP.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a ton of luck with Heritage. I usually just try and cherry pick the Buccos I like. Great box!
ReplyDeleteI think those packs were supposed to be shipped to Chicago.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought any Heritage packs but I did buy a pre sale hand collated set for 36.00 shipped. No short prints of course. Now just looking for the five Redsox sp which the same guy will hopefully pull for me. Wouldn't usually buy a set but the 67 set is one I've been working on and thought this might look nice along with it
ReplyDeleteThey were still in a box at my store, just had to ask an employee... Go figure the first one I found was the one that had that task!
