Box Breaks: 8 Blasters of 2017 Topps Heritage Target

So yeah..everyone is hunting for Aaron Judge and I decided to get in the fun. Now Hobby boxes are insanely overpriced thanks to Judge, so if I'm going to get my fix my best bet is retail. I was surprised to see Target still had 8 boxes of Heritage (with the exclusive Rookie Game Cards) so I went ahead and bought them all. I know retail usually sucks, but with 1 Rookie Game Card a Box, I figured I'd take a shot and at the very least maybe pull a couple of Judge Rookie Game Cards which alone could pay for the half the break, along with what other goodies could've been inside. Here's what I got

Overall Thoughts: Well it basically peaked in Blaster #1, (and pack 1 nonetheless) but at least I pulled the Judge Topps Game (I already sold it for $60) and two Judge/Austin rookies. The refractors were cool pulls but wish the players were better. Surprised I didn't pull at least one relic card out of 8 boxes. Regardless, the "thrill of the hunt" was definitely fun and I had a blast opening this stuff. The funny thing is despite being a 1 per blaster hit, because the Judge sold so well, it becomes my #2 pull of the year. Crazy how a 1:8 pack insert can sell for so much..but THAT'S how hot Judge is right now. Pics of the cards
