What's Buzz-worthy: This box was clearly headed to Milwaukee but fell off the truck somewhere along the way with three of its seven inserts being Brewers cards. The rookie crop is what got this one here, though with the two Juniors and as many as three other RCs who were notable at times this year and could be down the line. This brand is a strong one and is stacked and loaded with potential if you rip hobby boxes and that's what gets its here -- a reminder of a recent release that's strong and available, too, as the baseball season marches toward crowning a new champ. ... 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. One interesting thing to watch in these Walmart boxes? The Cloth cards -- they are seriously condition sensitive and you can't even penny sleeve them without damage.

Product Grade: A+
Box Grade: B+ (good rookies but not good on inserts this time)
Fun Grade: B+
