Getting Lucky with Heritage Retail

[CollectinTex]

I posted some of my Heritage retail hits in the baseball box break section, but the story is a bit bigger than the hits. If you like baseball and sappy stories, you can read mine HERE.

The following is an excerpt from the story:

Today is the official Heritage release date set by Topps. However, last week the retail version of Heritage began to pop up and a frenzy swelled amongst collectors trying to find it's early arrival at their local retail locations. This usually means a number of trips to Walmart and Target, which under normal circumstances would drive the average American absolutely insane. However, if you're reading this you know as well as anyone that this hobby can lead you on a fool's errand.

Like many others, after the word spread that Heritage was popping up I found myself checking my local retail spots when it was convenient. And each time I left empty handed. When Monday came around I had plans to go visit my grandfather in College Station, TX. Of course as a collector that is borderline obsessed with the hobby, I knew in my heart of hearts that I would was going to try and push my luck in College Station. I had no idea just how much luck was coming my way.

Really cool story! Very well written too! Christmas 2007 I was infatuated with Tulo and received an autographed baseball and signed picture from my Mom. My gramma used to buy me lacks of cards when I was little and hadn't bought me a pack of cards since probably '95. It was a pack of 2007 UD Future Stars...one pack...and I ended up getting a Tulo Auto SP in it. Pretty cool that you had an experience similar to mine. Makes collecting very special!

Thanks for the kind words guys. It was the most fun I've had opening cards in a long time. Looking forward to testing my "luck" when my two hobby boxes come in tomorrow.
