What's Buzz-worthy: These were the results of my second blaster and I once again beat the odds with a Chrome card that's only supposed to be found in every seventh box -- could they be delivering too well here? (Spoiler: I also pulled a third in my first four boxes ... so the answer might be maybe.) The rookies once again lead the way here with a number of the notables in just this one blaster and even my one-per-box cloth card was for one of those guys. In the short-term a box like this one is a winner and in the long-term there should be good safety here with RCs in slabs. ... As said before, the set size here lends itself to being able to stockpile RCs more easily -- a plus -- but part of me wants more Heritage in the year and wishes this set was as large as the first series. (It'd be nice if the Update model and its heavy RC volume was plopped here.) This is a second straight year I've given Heritage High an A+ as a product and it's all about the RCs and the big ink that's possible. Nearly all of the hobby inclusions are also found here -- just at higher odds -- so there's plenty of reasons to rip into these boxes if you find them.
