What's Buzz-worthy: They aren't all winners with these small boxes and this one, well, it was average at best and perhaps even more of a dog ... but it's the holidays so I don't want to scare off any would-be Heritage buyers out there who stumble upon these out in the wild. My first blaster here was a definite home run and even my one previous to this had Chrome ... but this one is the harsh reminder that there are boxes out there that don't have those and can run lean on rookies. (The RCs are the main heavy presence here with some star power -- but neither seem as strong as Heritage High Number in recent years.) ... As I noted last time, if you're just wanting the flip, move to the next format -- or do hobby here -- but for a collector this one feels pretty crisp and clean to continue with the feel of the meaty first release. However, that said, the small checklist is perhaps best-ripped in hobby to make sure you get everybody. ... There are Chromes, Minis, French text, errors, missing-star variations, city uni photo variations and nicknames for starters can all be found here ... but at long odds.
