2011 Heritage Blaster

How many of us ran out to Target the last few days hoping to get their hands on a Heritageblaster to open? Yup, me too. I got mine 2 days ago and was saving it for a rainy day. It just rained in my head so I opened it.

I won't lie, I debated on returning it because I was kind of disappointed in the hobby packs I opened and lost most of my interest. But then the pack ripping junkie in my head said, "MarieBay, you already bought it, it will use gas to drive there and return it so you should complete the stupidity cycle and open it." So, I caved.

I bet you were expecting to read allllllllll about the cards in the box and see scans. You lose. Well, actually I lose because the box blew. I got a crapload of base cards which would be great if I cared to build a set. I got 4 SP's, one of which I pulled 2 days ago from some loose packs.


That sums up a Heritage blaster, 4 lousy cards. Ohhh wait, I did get a C.C. Sabathia base card...... Yes, that must make it worth it...

I have read plenty of blogs and talked to plenty of people about how much the blasters sucked. If anyone out there is debating what to buy of this product, buy a hobby packs or loose retail. You really can't to any worse.

Anyone pull an auto out of a blaster yet? I pulled an auto once from a Heritage blaster and it was Mat Gamel. Once in a while you can hit a good card in a blaster but it would be nice for some people to share something good from this years blasters.

My first and last Bowman blaster

Let me start by saying I didn't expect a gold refractor autograph, or anything close to that. What I did expect was maybe, just maybe ONE serial numbered card, and at the very least a blue card. All I wanted was one "cool" card. Anyone want to know what I got in my blaster? Oh, I got air.

It was a box of air. I got the one gold card per pack, and the rest of what was promised, but nothing cool. I was debating last night on finishing the BCP set since I used to do that each year but I don't really see myself buying anymore of these. I have some doubles that I would be willing to trade for cards I don't have. There was no Jeter, no Pujols, and no A-Rod in the whole box. I did get a Burnett card in the worst photoshopped Yankee uniform ever. The "New York" on the away uniform on the card goes straight across, but on their real uniforms it is curved. Bowman was released in June. Burnett has been a Yankee since March. Are they really that lazy to not have taken a single picture of him in 3 months? Stupid.

I also made a small, yet stupid detour on my way home from class today at the rip-off store as I call it (Toy Wiz). They were charging $67.99 for a hobby box of OPC. That tells it all. I'll be back with that story, I just got home from the gym and need a shower.
