Oh, a while back, Topps had Opening Day Hobby boxes available for about a day and a half. I know this is marketed at kids, but it is still a rip that lets you scratch that itch, and for a fraction of other boxes. Out of two boxes, made one set, got nine of ten of the three player cards, a ton of...
Sad to say I didn't get anything overwhelming in here, but I always love ripping Heritage. Here's the tale of the tape:
Hi Numbers: 404, 408, 410, 455, 457, 496, 499. I know there are star players in the SPs, but I didn't get any. All common guys.
Then & Now: Seaver/ Burnes, Ryan/Ray

Heck of a hit on that Cruz auto! I went through 4 boxes and got all the same purples, I think! Maybe they only printed the same 20 guys? If you have no interest in the Yadi Black gold (or that Cruz auto) LMK.
Pretty easy to set up a Topps UK account and order online. Roughly $93, free shipping! I work at a grocery store that has a postal station, so I know what shipping internationally can cost. Pretty happy with the break. I like that it's a combination of Series, 1, 2, and Update, so there really...
I am probably in the minority, but I love Bowman's Best and am not a big fan of Draft. But I do like more Heritage tho.

I got one box of Rookie Cup and one of A&G Chrome. Really like the Chrome, very sharp looking set. My best pull was a Dansby Swanson orange mini #/25. My auto from Cup was Ke'Bryan Hayes #/99. Ordered two more Cup boxes Sunday, now sold out on Topps website.

Be warned, I ordered two more Jumbo boxes from Target. Getting low, better hurry! Should be here next week. Meanwhile, I found some retail at WalMart. Was looking for Topps Holiday, settled for Mosaic. More colored parallels out of different retail packs. Got one blaster and one hanging fat...
Nothing but good things to say about Panini's inserts in Optic, Prizm and now Mosaic. Creative, colorful, and the parallels really pop! @jszczech I got a lot of Twins singles, but no Puck.

Got the Big box via Target. This stuff is fun to break, if you like the colors, inserts, theme packs, etc. I really don't care about the lack of logos, which seems to be the only knock against Panini. Their insert designs are so good and well executed.
