Case Breaks: 1 Blaster Case of 2018 Topps Heritage Baseball

 
So Ebay has been having KILLER promos recently and one of them was 15% your purchase. It gave me an excuse to try a Blaster case of 2018 Heritage. Considering how much Hobby boxes of this stuff go far, getting a entire 16 box blaster case at under retail price (it ended up averaging about $16.50 a box) seemed like a good deal and a fun rip as well. It is retail though, so I wasn't expecting too much, but hey, you never know. Here's what I got!

Overall Thoughts: I don't know what's going on with the formatting but that was a fun break. I 
was able to complete a base set (1:400) and also pull numerous inserts of Bryant, Judge, Devers, Hoskins, Rosario, etc. The Scherzer was a nice pull, as was the Stanton Bzaooka greats, but I pulled a legit Top 5 pull in the Trout Nickname Varation. Those are super hard to find and I've seen them sell anywhere from $100-$150. I Like Trout so it's staying in the PC. Overall a very enjoyable break!
