What's Buzz-worthy: This isn't the flashiest box -- at all -- but it's packed with plenty even this time with a number of stars, a good volume of RCs and a decent but small mix of inserts. (These were a lone option at the retail aisle awhile back and I set them aside as there was no biggie ... so on a slow Wednesday here we are.) Buying Heritage blasters at suggested retail price (if found) could be strong long-term moves here as this year's boxes are loaded with rookies and stars, have hit potential (long odds) and it's a popular brand that's heavily collected. Need some encouragement on this? Just do a general search for past Heritage boxes from the last decade or so ... they aren't out there as often as one might expect as they get ripped. Blasters of this one have not been great for me this year but I have cleaned up with hobby and mega boxes from this release ... so it will be on my radar all year.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B (nothing big but plenty of good cheap finds)
Fun Grade: B (blasters need more inserts)
