Looking to buy a case of heritage for the first time next year. 1971 is my birth year and the 71 set was the first vintage set I put together. When is the best time to order? Will I be able to complete a set from a case?

No you will not. The prices for these cases will be expensive off the bat because they are saving Yordan Alvarez and several other rookie cards until next year. You will get 5 or 6 sets of 1-400. 401-500 are all sps and are where 90% of your stars typically are. A case will get you probably 50-60% of the sps you need.
It all depends on what you consider a set!
You will probably get a base set or two complete out of a case but besides the SP’s there are many other sub sets that most consider part of a “master set” if you will. Then & Now and
New Age Performers just to name two. Then there are variations. All this before you even consider chromes, refractors, and who knows what other specialty sub sets there will be. Many don’t include the latter mentioned in a set.
You will have to trade and pick up some retail most likely.

I think picking up some 2019 Update this year will be a smart move too. If Vlad does learn how to hit in the majors and Tatis returns strong from the back injury this could be a big chase product next year.
Do you know if Royce Lewis and/or Alex Kirilloff have rookie cards in this set? Or have theirs already been issued. I don't keep up with the modern, but the Twins seem to think these guys are going to be good.
Ha ha, I only missed by 3-4 years. What a maroon I am. :-)
I love Heritage. But it is bumming me out. I like to rip modern with my son, especially Heritage. But the way they’re making the vast majority of stars as SPs is making our rips quite boring. You only get about 7 SPs per box...so that essentially your Star count. Plus they’re holding back RCs for the Update set which is a while other scam. I’ll be into the 71 design as it was my birth year, but if things don’t change that’s likely the end for me.
Update set... you mean high numbers?

Ya. High Numbers.
I am not a Heritage collector by any means, however 2020 Heritage is gunna be the tits.
Echo the sentiments on the SP's. I will probably wait and just pick up a master set and just have fun with blasters each trip to Walmart and Target.
Alex might start having RC cards appear in next years sets but Lewis is still another year or two off
