While I didn't scan each base card because you would jam your thumbs in your eyes, I did scan a few of my favorites. I have zero interest in listing all the base cards because most of you aren't going to read it or care.

I had fun opening this and I am happy with the inserts, and from some of the breaks I have seen I got a pretty good relic card. I will be looking to trade some cards for ones that I need because I am not going to complete this set. I'll be opening more of this product, it's probably my favorite Heritage set so far as I have said before.
Overall my opinion of this set is fairly high, probably a grade of around a B+ or an A-. Especially since for the price of a box, you get a boatload of cards.
Still debating on going after the Ruth set, but I really don't know if I have the energy to put into another card project. Anyone want to trade me some of those I may be game for that.
I keep waffling on this set. Part of me loves it and part of me is unimpressed. I'm back on the liking it side of the fence. I love the subsets, and I've always loved the '61 set. We'll see how I feel when I finally get some in-hand.
ReplyDeleteI was the same, wanted to wait and rip to see if I "got" the set. Thinking its a no-go for me.
ReplyDeleteIf you are serious about collecting the Ruth chase cards I pulled two. They're yours if you want 'em #'s 7 & 13.
That Brooks relic is Sweet!
