What's Buzz-worthy: As said in a past break of this one, I was on the fence when I saw Heritage mocks using the 1989 Topps baseball design, but in person these are crisply printed and cleanly cut allowing for the oldschool feel to be found here but in cleaner ways than the original. It makes a world of difference along with strong photography. This one is insert-heavy but it still works with a mix of cards that are all relatively cohesive together with their feel and design, which might be one improvement from last year's version. This blaster delivered well with a coin -- one in three boxes and the Blue Relic card being one in 35 boxes. Hobby boxes guarantee you an autograph every time and the lineup there is strong, though most of the signers we've seen before, along with a second hit. At their current prices, they're very solid buys. Last year's was a strong Heritage set with a mix of baseball and WWF set designs from the past but this one is better with a little more color and flash along with some solid photos of past and present stars. Initial retail volume seemed pretty low -- just two boxes per store in my region -- so this one might have a smaller print run than last year. We'll see.
