<< <i>Sooooo, DoctorK, if that Trout is a mini, check the latest sell prices for it. >>



It is a mini and I am stunned at the latest prices. >>



There seems to be 3 buyers on eBay chasing these. Get that card up today, 7 day auction and reap the rewards.

Hello everyone, first post on the boards here.

Anyone out there still trying to put together one or more base sets? I've bought three boxes thus far and the collation was fairly poor. Before I spring for another box I'd like to complete a base set and am hoping I can find some trading partners to help.

Here's my current checklist: LINK


And here's my list of available Chrome & Refractors. I'm happy to part with any of them for Chrome/Refractor Tigers.

CHROME (of 999): 53, 60, 345, 425, 471
REFRACTORS (of 565): 445, 447
BLACK REFRACTORS (of 65): 200
PURPLE REFRACTORS: 20, 43, 49, 213, 275, 284, 310, 330, 354, 428, 437 (2), 441, 442, 445, 448, 449, 451, 461, 463, 474, 482, 489
CLUBHOUSE COLLECTION RELIC: AJ, BP

wow...I sold my trout mini for $127 a couple of weeks ago before the whales jumped in the water.

By the way, if anyone is needing purples, send me a pm...i picked up a lot of about 320 of them today at a show.

I do need these however:

Refractors (#/565) (13): 20 170 200 205 250 342 430 442 447 449 458 471 489
Purple Refractors: 33 49 60 73 160 345 400 426 431 432x2 433x2 434 439x2 453 469 480 487 491 499 500
Walmart Blue (15): 149 160 275 407 426 430 432 439 444 457 461 463 475 482 487
Target Red (14): 84 150 205 250 310 320 431 433 446 458 464 480 493 494

I also have about 150 sp's to trade if you can help...

thx, jim.

found thread on second page, is interest fading? or has everyone already completed their goals??? I'm still debating on whether to purchase a few more wax boxes....

<< <i>I'm still here, actively trading with several....post your wants, i will read them! >>



He does! We just consummated our 3rd...

^^^ Don't know^^^ but you might want to all get tested.

Great post! Thanks for sharing. I may buy a blaster or two but I don't expect much. At least I'm seeing an auto or two being pulled out from retail.

<< <i>From the looks of it, several board members have beat the stated odds pulling mini's & black refractors etc. Congrats. I meant to share this last Monday...bogged down with work all week. I picked up 2 Walmart blasters. For the most part, came in as expected for only 2 boxes. Disappointed that I couldn't get at least a chrome in the 1st box, and the Yankee's cards were much less than odds. I plan on breaking 2 target blasters if they ever make it into my area...It's been so long to fully roll out Heritage that I see Topps Series 2 is out already...LOL. Anyway, as always, along wiith the box picks I included the expected pulls based on the odds and what I actually got. It's all up for trade. Will send to Ebay or COMC at the end of the month. And I included another wrapper with odds for Craig. The last one was from the jumbos. The odds are different for the blasters...which now makes sense out of the number of black backs.

If you 2 "consummated" and I've consummated with each of you, does that mean we had some sort of card trading threesome?? >>



I think it means we're eskimo brothers. >>



or as Nick Swisher would say eskimo bros!

With product coming in late, I've just started working on my set. I only have opened 4,000 cards or so and just found my first blasters while on a 4 day trip to Vegas. I should have a list up in a week or so. It seems like there is very little interest and I am not opening my case for now. Actually, I'm getting more frustrated with the whole hobby; pricing, center and quality, chances of pulling anything exciting, etc. I guess if it's not fun, well, maybe it's time...

can't believe my local target still has no blasters.....went in there this afternoon, nada

Did anyone pull a "throwback uni" variation? They seem tough as hell, and going for some nice coin on the 'bay. Very cool looking cards, especially the ones rocking the old Negro League teams...

Nothing from my boxes

Found some 2-pack racks at Kmart priced at 4.99 so I bought all 6.

First pack yielded Trout, Bench 1st Draft, and a Wright mini...sweet.

Next 3 packs, not so much. Still have 2 left.

<< <i>Bought my first blaster of the year. Might be my last. Here's the results:

Base -- 65 cards (no Trout which is the only base card I care about)
Inserts -- 3 cards (Gibson FB, Bench 1st Draft, Harvey NAP)
SPs -- 3 cards (459 Kinsler, 479 Pence, 485 Holland)
Blue SP -- 170 Justin Upton
So, how did I do? Maybe I should enter this blaster into a worst blaster contest. I think I'd win.
Since it can't get worse than this, I'll buy another one I'm sure.

Craig from Texas >>



Yep…move along, nothing to see here...similar to my Walmart Blaster experience this year (2013 Walmart Blasters seemed to have better pulls)…Try a couple of targets next time; mine seemed pretty good (not great)…also a chance to get the Trout Red Border.

1:3,175 I think I calculated it at 35 cards per player. Technically, they should be priced below Gold Refractors, since Gold is just 5 cards per player and limited to Hobby, which also makes the odds seem better at 1:1,695. Hopefully, the prices will deflate once more get out there…although even with the Bazooka's, the auctions have still been fierce. I watched a Jeter Bazooka auction hit $51, while another at the same time was only at $36.

Anyway, extremely disappointed this didn't have a higher print run. Much prefer throwback look over the mini since mini's are the same pix as base, just smaller. ..now a mini throwback uniform card…winner all the way around for me >>



I agree. Not sure why the "mini" is taking up room in the "hit space". Would much rather have a shot at the more interesting throwbacks.

Heck, I would rather buy heritage mini boxes on-line over the summer, instead of the current year version.

Really, what am I suppose to do with the one Heritage mini numbered to 100 I find ??





Box them up, sell them on-line, I would try to the build the set over the summer.

If anyone wants to trade, I'm looking for Heritage Jeter or Trout (base, SP, inserts, whatever). I have most of the SPs and base inserts available. If you don't have any Trout or Jeter, I will sell common SPs. A lot of ten for $30 delivered. PM me your want lists and/or trade offers if interested.

Craig from Texas

second boxes inserts displayed below.......needless to say I am overjoyed with results....even thought I won't be keeping the Clemente or Jeter they were both nice pulls and more than made up for the first box....
