Nice Walt! My case arrived today! One day shipping on release day. Very excited to rip into but have meeings all day. *Sigh* Hope to rip a couple tonight.
<< <i>Is that Ramirez serially numbered on the back? I've read that retail has cards that look like chrome but are not numbered. Kind of like how the retail black border cards from year's past kind of look like, and get confused with, black refractors.
Here are my totals for 3 boxes, I would of been happy on any day of the week with these results:
SP's 25 (one extra possibly a SSP??) New Age Perf. 9 Only one double Then and Now 7 one double Flashbacks 11 one double Purple Chromes 24 Chrome: 2 Holland and Carlos Santana /999 Refractors 2 Ellsbury and Sale /566 Black Refractor 1 Miggy Action Variations 3 Trout,Miggy, Abreu Minis 2 Lester and Holland Gum Stain Variations 2 Hamilton and Cargo GU: 2 Gattis and Boegarts Auto Gordon Richardson Red Ink /66 Punch Board Autograph 1 Marichal
I didn't see a lot of damage issues. A few grapes were OC, but not bad overall.
I don't know how, but I received my three cases about an hour ago. I didn't think it would happen with all the weather events. Will start opening in a few, after I run to the store to get some necessities for the coming ice storm. Pabst Blue Ribbon is on the list.

That is a quite a good lot for only three boxes. Really beats the odds of the past
First box. I won't post every single box, don't worry. I haven't seen anything about the blue backs, but pulled one. I usually hate those relic cards, but the Jeter is nice. The Goldschmidt is numbered to 999 and the Gonzalez to 566.
<< <i>I pulled out my original 1966 Topps wax box (no packs in it, sorry, guys) to compare with the Heritage box.
>>
Nice comparison!!! My three cases arrived as well (technically only two of them are mine though). They shipped from Dallas so that make for an easy delivery. Gotta give props to Atlanta for keeping on top of things.
I was really hoping to see some emphasis on the many regional stars of the mid 60's. I'm not sure who is still alive but there ar plenty. I guess every year we wish for more, but get less. I am hoping for a big pull to. I have only had 1-2 good pulls over the many thousands of packs I've ripped, never a great pull though. I will be stashing a case as usual and ripping 5-6 boxes and countless blasters over the next 3-4 months. I am going to make a better effort to stay away from the retail gravity boxes that the jerks fondle each year unless I can grab the first 30 packs or so. Again, good luck everyone. It seems we have even less interest than last year.
CURRENT PROJECTS IN WORK: To be honest, no direction, but... 1966-69 Topps EX+ 1975 minis NrMt Kelloggs PSA 9 All Topps Heritage-Master Sets
Just finished a 90 minute loop. One Walmart and two Targets.
The first two stops were busts. Same with the 3rd but I tracked someone down to check the back. He wheeled out a cart of plain brown boxes. First three were all YuGiOh and 2015 Topps. I spied a box that looked different from the rest and...Yahtzee.
Grabbed 2 Blasters, 2 packs and a hanger.
On checkout I noticed the hanger was same price as Blasters buy half the cards...I exchanged it.
Scooping my daughter from daycare then home to rip.
52-90 All Sports, Mostly Topps, Mostly HOF, and some assorted wax.
I think hanger packs had better odds, but knowing that they are the same price means they are not worth buying after pack searchers have their way. I am going to need to see some big hits out of retail to see that.
Does it seem to anyone else that black chromes are coming out of hobby boxes more than usual?

Speaking of black chrome cards. Not a bad fifth box. Time for a break to sort a bit.

What do you mean dont worry? We encourage it. There used to be overnight case breaks with box by box account.
