2018 Heritage
24 packs - 9 cards per pack
One real one auto or relic in each box
Plus a box topper
I received the following:
Base cards

190 unique base cards -- 47.5% of the regular base of 400
plus 8 of the SP - 401-500 or 8% of the SP set
2018 Heritage is following in the footsteps of the 1969 Topps design. I must admit the code numbers are either getting smaller and smaller or my eyes are getting much worse!!! The design is clean with the cards having a white border and an 'orange' back.
The reverse has the complete major league stats of the player. The base (non-variation) cards all feature the players in a static position. The variation cards feature the player in and action shot.
I received one variation in this box....

2018 Heritage again hits all the marks for the Heritage collector - rookies --- (no, I did not get Otanni or Judge - dang it!), chrome parallels - regular and refractor, and several insert sets. My favorite insert is the die cut B&W photos with the facsimile auto - good looking cards!
I know there are collectors out there that buy this issue by the case. Question for you guys... do you get a complete set of 500 and how many autos do you normally pull from a case? Just getting 8 of the SP's in one box, if one were to attempt to collate the set without the 'bay, one would need a minimum of 13 boxes... to have the opportunity to get all 100 SP's....
Overall grade.. A- ... need a couple more SP's in each box.
Go buy several boxes and send the no name Rays to me -
