I bought 3 hobby boxes yesterday at a local show here in NY (for $195) while im waiting for my retail cases (jumbo and blaster) to show up. I know it's just a small sample, but im think in the long run this year im going to be glad that LRCards forced me to buy retail (and spend a little less money). Here's what my 3 boxes had:
24 SPs (all different) 15 chromes (12 different) 2 refractors (Lester and Burrell) 1 black refractor (Carlos Lee 28/60) 3 CC jerseys (Drew, Crawford, and Lester) 6 NAP (5 different) 6 T&N (all different) 6 BF (all different) 6 NF (4 different)
Pardon my lack of knowledge for Heritage, but is there an Ebay market for single refractors? Nick pulled a Lestor, so would he be about to get a couple of bucks for it if we wanted, or do you have to sell Refractors in lots?

In the long term you would probably do better splitting chromes into single lots as opposed to lots, but it does cost more to list. Red Sox card are among the highest sellers!
I just finished my transaction with Lockwood. Instead of a Blaster Case I picked up a Jumbo Case + an extra Jumbo Box. 1960 cards. Ha, that's kinda strange! Now the waiting begins.
Oh, the Microsoft discount was instant!

My case came in. I bought an extra box. I'm through the first three. Nothing great. I think I'm a little light on chromes. I have to get back to work before I get fired.

So one of my local shops here got in some heritage. He got in a case direct from topps. He knew that I was waiting to get some. I was calling him every day to see if it came in. I finally call today and the guy working said it had come in. I race over there and see he had 3 boxes on the shelf.
Anyone want to guess what price he had on them? Keep in mind he did get them direct, and while I don't know what that price from topps was I can only say that it was probably around 40-45 a box.
He had 105 dollars on them!
He knew I wanted some and was willing to charge a good customer 105 dollars a box to make a few bucks. I will never go in there again. I used to have some sympathy for shop owners who can't stay in business, but when you treat customers like this you won't have to worry about customers.
I hope you all have more pleasant experiences with heritage today!

Strike that last comment, the mailman just delivered my case from Joe, so I'll be ripping that and the wife is going to stop by the card shop for me on her way home from work!

Well, put Kevin. However, let's allow some honest critiques here too, just in case someone out there is listening. Glad you skipped out on $105/box!! Even addicts have their limits!

Actually my comments were directed at the two people here who don't collect heritage. I have been the most critical of anyone here regarding this product and dont' mind at all if the people ripping it give us their honest opinion. It just seems like topps is doing less and less for us regarding this product.

While two hits in the box was nice, I would have much rather had my other three short prints.
Geordie, yeah so far a solid case, and while it hasn't yielded any big hits I'm still having a blast opening all the packs. I'm glad it's Heritage season again!
This is my desk at about 6:15 after five boxes. I just got called back to work, but I had to post first. I probably will not sleep tonight.
My dealer said that boxes are going for $70, but he will sell them to me for $60 as long as this first shipment lasts. He sold me my extra box today for $59. Cool dude.
I pulled one boring blue auto so far. I'll post it when I get back home.

<< <i>not my card but here is a variation..
I like the subset, but shouldn't they say "09" and not "08"? I mean, the 1960 All-Stars don't say "59" on them...

Good point. Maybe the all-stars were selected before the season began back then? Then the '08 would make some sense.

I vaguely recall small stores that sold cards, but I haven't seen one in 10 years.
Must be nice.
