Attention Heritage fans; my wife has now joined your ranks (bought herself a 2008 Heritage wax box;

Estil · June 30, 2008 7:13AM

Although I myself do not collect Heritage (don't get me wrong, I think it's quite an interesting product but the cost to get all caught up in all the sets would be better spent building "real" vintage sets from the early 70s, IMO), but you will not believe that my wife just bought herself a 2008 Topps Hertiage wax box! The reason being is that she wanted to bust open a wax box because she thinks its fun to do so (and apparently several here would agree) and I suggested she go with Heritage because it's so popular here and it's such an interesting product.

And who knows? If she likes what she sees in this wax box, maybe she'll go for other years and perhaps try to build a nice collection in her own right. That being said, what are some of the best inserts she might pull? Of course, you guys will be the first to know if she does!

Wish her luck!

UPDATE: The box arrived ruined due to a piss poor shipping job by the Ebay seller jackleeann. We are currently in the process of sending it back for a refund (and hopefully we'll have better luck with a more thoughtful, professional seller).

My fiance LOVES opening packs of Co-Signers - hence my having sets of Baseball co-signers from 07 and 08 and Basketball and football from 07-08

+1 for super long hair on chicks

<< +1 for super long hair on chicks >>

Umm, how did you know my wife (as well as myself) has waist length hair (too bad we're not having much luck in getting it to grow even longer)?

Your user name in Hebrew means "one with long hair". Pretty strange you didn't know that but picked it anyway.

Try some slow release fertilizer. She will have to sit still for at least 3 hours per day to let it soak in but it should work out prety good.

I'm afraid to see where this thread goes.

bman90278 · June 30, 2008 9:51AM

+1 for professional football players who do well on Dancing with the Stars

pandrews · June 30, 2008 9:53AM

i dont believe it.

lawnmowerman · June 30, 2008 9:58AM

<< i dont believe it. >>

which part? The cards or the hair?

Estil · June 30, 2008 10:35AM

Can you guys wait until the box actually arrives before we post pics please?

prscott933 · June 30, 2008 10:36AM

you could take pics of the hair right now

bigfische · June 30, 2008 10:39AM

Curiouser and curiouser. Never in my wildest dreams could I ever have imagined that something like this existed.

pandrews · June 30, 2008 10:51AM

good luck dude, i hope you pull a sweet autograph or something..

Estil · June 30, 2008 11:06AM

<< good luck dude, i hope you pull a sweet autograph or something.. >>

Too bad I don't really know which ones are the "sweet autographs or something" (I collect primarly 70s/80s/90s, remember?).

As for the guy who asked about my user name, it's my real first name. I was named after my late grandpa Estil (he died of a heart attack in 1969 before I was born) who was a WWII Purple Heart vet in the Army. Still, I wish I had a name more like Bill or George or something because I do get tired of my name being constantly misspelled/mispronounced (it's pronounced S-tul).

BobaFett72 · June 30, 2008 2:03PM

so i found a pic of Estil. You really need to get some conditioner dude.

Why do I smell a thread happening about this statement on another board

Estil · July 3, 2008 3:15AM

Well, the box arrived today and unfortunately, the seller jackleeann apparently thought throwing the box in a cardboard envelope (the flat rate USPS one; I HATE those flat rate boxes/envelopes because it invites poor shipping jobs) wrapped in a THIN piece of bubble wrap would get the job done. Needless to say, the box arrived with one of the bottom corners smashed and one of the top edges bent funny as well. Obviously we did not open the box and we just contacted the seller to demand a refund. My wife was quite disappointed to be sure. Doing a piss poor shipping job is not the way to introduce someone to the hobby!!

That's a shame man! I would go with blowoutcards.com or dacardworld.com next, just to be sure. How much did you pay for the box on ebay?

Estil · July 3, 2008 10:47AM

I think the typical going rate (don't remember exactly) for those wax boxes ($70-$80ish). We have to send the box back Monday. Again, my wife is quite disappointed and I even helped pick out the box and the seller; some help I was, huh?

perkdog · July 3, 2008 12:08PM

Sorry that happened Estil, send the box back and get another one somewhere and all will be fine.
