Just thought I'd share, and its slightly off topic from all these new heritages posts but I thought it was a slightly cool story to share none the less.....( its about '01 heritage football if u dont wanna read on 
)
I went into k-mart today to get some dog food, wasn't expecting much of a fun trip..lol. As im checking out I see these cards in this case thing called "champion collection" football cards. 12 packs for 10 dollars, I said hell seems like a good deal and I hadnt opened anything in a few days(cards seem to be my "crack). I also see as im goin though them a pack of heritage 01 in one. So I decide to get that one to see what all the heritage fuss is about, even though its football. I get home, feed the lab, and sit down to watch the all star dunk and 3-point contest. Start ripping though the packs I didnt have much interest in(got a 99 tops chrome champ baily and mcnabb rookie, 2003 donruss classics timeless tributes dick butkus#'d to 150 and a AU of chad johnson out of a 03 tops total pack...at this point im thinking "10 bucks? WTF"). So I get to the heritage which I saved for last, pretty cards btw, open it up and right away see a kevan barlow refractor rookie, flip through some more. Next I see a Michael Vick rookie #'d to 1956, I see the big "hard card"(i dunno what they are called) figure its just the topps logo card, flip the next common out of the way and its a Jonny U. bench seat card.....Moral, if there is any, of this story is 10 dollars at kmart seems to have brought me more cool cards then spending 500 at the local card shop on random factory sealed boxes...LOL. Oh and heritage rocks! Thanks for readin if you did

<< <i>Seriously, great pulls. I think you got your money's worth unless every card is creased badly.

Naw. See that'd be my luck if I was buying factory sealed boxes of whatever. Cards would be in ok to decent to crappy shape, or atleast thats usually my luck. The one time I randomly spend 10 dollars on something seemingly worthless I pull 7 good cards in excellent shape. Figures...
