What's Buzz-worthy: This one is a fun rip for 1970s Heritage -- can't say that every year -- and this one delivered the three big rookies so that makes this a win. Ironically, two of them came in the same pack as the front card and the back card, too. ... HHN is one that has such a loaded set that it's perhaps harder to get a truly bad box on the RC front and this one included 10 more rookies than the previous blaster I did -- an average of four per pack. If I liked the 1973 design more, this brand might have landed an A+ grade overall as this is the kind of release we need to see more of -- a lot to chase -- but without a price that forces one to rip and flip since it's so expensive. It's a better experience with hobby boxes for their price and that sale price is good right now -- and there's a guaranteed hit and more along with a near-set in every box. I say rip those until they rise or dry up and then snack on these blasters or the megas later as long as they are reasonably priced.
