What's Buzz-worthy: It's Heritage week so here's one more format that you can use to go back to 1970. This one wasn't that flashy with just two inserts and no short-prints but it delivered pretty well with a Chrome for one of last years hottest bats early in the season. I busted a blaster of this one last night and a Hobby box on release day -- this one is somewhere between the two, though I'd expect that they all don't deliver as well as this one (Chromes are one in 15 packs). I'd probably take my chances with a blaster moreso than hangers because you should get more inserts and more SPs every time for twice the price. Even the SPs are only one in two here -- so not guaranteed. It seems almost everything can be found in this format -- even Superfractors at one in 16,086 packs -- so anything is possible with a lot of luck.  ... As said previously, the journey back to 1970 begins here with the gray-bordered entrance to a new decade re-presented in great detail. I'll be the first to admit this one departs from what I liked in the 1960s but it's true to the original and it's Heritage, meaning there are plenty of highlights to look for that could and should surprise value-wise (at least early on) because this one is a brand that is collected in full. I won't open as much of this one compared to what I ripped for 1969, but there are a few things to look for here -- Mystery autograph redemptions in hobby boxes for starters. (Vladimir Guerrero Jr? Bryce Harper as a Phillie?) This one will set the stage for a strong Heritage High Number set again this year, too. All in all, 1970 is far from one of my favorites, but this release is strong.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (thanks to a good Chrome)
Fun Grade: B- (not a lot beyond base in this format ... at least in this pack)
