Live Break - 2001 Topps Heritage Hobby Box! Starting with first reply

So I've had this box of 2001 Heritage sitting in my room for the past 3 months. I had been intending to build a complete run of unopened boxes, but I know that will never happen. How this box has lasted as long as it has is beyond me. I know that JS will kill me for not doing this in his company, but I know there has to be someone out there, right? I realize that this box has a lot more value unopened, but come ON! It's been sitting there for 3 months! I got a great deal on it, but the only way it would be worthwhile is if there is a nice auto or a star chrome inside. The odds are against pulling an auto, but there should be a chrome lurking inside. I will open the first pack with the first response.

All my black backs are in order. I thought low number SPs should be 1 per pack? These are obviously not reasealed. And why would someone reseal Sps into packs? I don't think Heritage had hot boxes, but I definitely feel like I had one. No regrets so far.

39 different low numbers, 10 doubles, 1 triple...decent mix considering 70% of your cards are low numbers.
<< <i>Great run of 31-35 with black & red backs on all of them!

Extend that run from 31-37 with black & red backs. Unbelievable!

Thanks all for looking. No autos, no GU, and 1 chrome that I already had. Looks like I did OK with the amount of low number SPs I received, I am interested in Joe Stalin's input on this box.

I always thought they should have had #311 be Mantle. Of course, back in 2001 I was unaware that Upper Deck had Mantle's exclusive rights. Still, they could've done something a little more distinguished with #311 than make it a short printed card of Doug Glainville.
You were very unlucky with your box, hits were one per box. W need to remember that autos were searchable in this product. I know you
would of made sure that the topps wrapping was on it, but you just can't trust anyone with these boxes. I would never buy backs either.
Thanks for sharing the rip!

I have put together 2 master sets of 2001 Heritage and have sold them over the years. I am now attempting to put another one together so I can pass them down to the grandkids so I could use some of these shortprints.
<< <i>How many other guys on here are sitting on 01 boxes that I don't know about? >>
I still have an unopened hobby box.
I stumbled on them in Target when they first came out and bought a few packs. Got a Duke Snider bat card and a Jackie Robinson grandstand card, that started my binge pack busting and went back and probably spent $400 buying all the retail boxes and packs they had then went to the nearest hobby store and bought a few hobby boxes. Completed one master set and another complete set w/o all the 1-80 black/red varations but I sold that and about 40 chromes including a Bonds and McGwire. Still have the master set plus the 2002 thru 2005 master sets.
