I mean, did I actually pull a Shohei $9-$10 Parallel??? Wow, I must be dreaming?
Wow...
Seriously,
Now, did I actually pull a decent Shohei, after all?
Is my card, this same card as my comp? NO Way! PURPLE HOLO FOIL?
I don't believe it!
Moving on...
Pack 5...
Just these
Can someone help me out?

Well, that's all she wrote!
OK, Until I find out for
SURE. The Shohei is in fact the
"PURPLE HOLO FOIL"
Or
Not?
I can't finalize my analysis on this
RIP!
IF Shohei is the right
Pull.
Then, this RIP, to me is HISTORICAL!
But, if it isn't the right Pull.
Than, the RIP is as usual,
a DUD!.
But not totally!
Those 2 Walgreens boxes were AMAZING!
And if the Shohei is more common, than I would be correct on saying,
" The Walgreens Boxes, Did Beat the Two
BLASTERS!
I gotta dig deeper into Comps to determine about
Shohei.
Until then...
Thank you, All
Really, thanks.

Yep, my thoughts exactly
Thank You!
However, I'm still trying to determine if it's the PURPLE HOLO FOIL
or
Not???
It looks like all the Series 2 Ohtani Purple Holo Foils for sale on eBay are numbered to 250. Is your copy numbered on the back? The most recent one sold for about $20.
Yep, my thoughts exactly

So weird in 2025 they put cards that have damage on them into packs. You would think they would have at least a 99% success rate in printing these cards to be 9's or 10's.
Well, what do ya know? A RELIC!
Perfect way to end these HERITAGE BLASTER Boxes!
With this SUPERSTAR
OK guys, that's it for the 4 Heritage Blasters, now for the 1 TOPPS Series 1 BLASTER...
