If you hadn't heard, BlowoutTV is breaking a box of 1973 Topps baseball cards live on Friday night.

Last night, the randomization of 660 spots to determine who got each card in the set -- no matter how many show up in the box -- took place. The key spot, card No. 615 aka the Rookie Card of Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, randomly went to one of five winners who retweeted a Blowout contest.

Who got the card? Nobody yet ... so keep reading.

The five winners have been selected from the Blowout Cards retweet contest that will give each of them one of 660 spots in a group-break of this 1973 Topps baseball wax box.

Did you miss out on it? (Check out the story from last week with all the details right here.)

If you were in ... keep reading to see if you won.

What you see here is a 1973 Topps wax box -- 24 packs of 10 cards -- with cards inside just as they were wrapped in wax paper more than 40 years ago.

They'll all see the light of day soon as part of an upcoming BlowoutTV group break, which will give collectors a shot at high-grade copies of Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt's Rookie Card along with RCs of Rich "Goose" Gossage, Dwight Evans, Davey Lopes and Bob Boone. (Oh, and keep reading to see how you can get in on a free spot in the break ...)

And then, of course, there are cards of Hall of Famers and notables such as Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, Brooks Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Al Kaline, Willie Mays, Pete Rose, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson, Harmon Killebrew, Joe Morgan and many more. Perfect specimens aren't a given with the printing, cutting and packaging of the past, but a box like this one can yield plenty of high-dollar cards in PSA 9 and 10 form. (And some strong cards in lesser grades.)

But the real power in this one beyond the Hall of Famers? The potential for PSA 10 commons -- cards that are often overlooked raw but can command insane amounts when PSA Registry collectors chase a set in high grade. How about $739.76 for a PSA 10 Bobby Murcer?

There's some Power of the Pinstripes in play there, but that card is not alone.
