What's Buzz-worthy: It's probably a good thing I didn't rip a bunch of these back at arrival as I'm not sure I could have handled just one insert here at the higher price ... whew. All others I have opened had two and my last one had almost double the number of rookies. This one stung pretty well with only really a cheap J-Rod the other highlight here -- but that will happen with a single-pack break. ... I grabbed a handful of these packs at a recent stop. Why? Well, I don't normally like to do pack breaks like this -- corner damage is an easy issue with this pack format, especially the longer they're around in the retail wild -- but I figured I'd do it since I don't think I opened any of these last year and there have been years of Heritage where they ran warm. ... As I noted last time, rip hobby boxes for a guaranteed hit in every box of this one -- and there are a few autos in every case -- and that's how I'll eventually dabble more at some point after I burn off these. It's the best approach while those boxes last and there are longer-odds potential at big stuff. Once those disappear or get too pricey, then do megas.
