2011 Heritage - MLB
24 packs - 9 cards per pack
'Look for Real One Autograph or Relic Card in Every Box!'
I received the following:
195 unique cards (base) - 45.8% - 425 base cards - No dupes!!!!
Based on the 1962 design - this issue of Heritage looks really 'retro' ... It also seems to be very popular at the card stores. I do have one gripe - I don't like the differences in hobby & retail - black bordered - retail and in hobby - different shades blue & red backgrounds in the 101-199 portion of the set -- As a set builder, this is a ROYAL PAIN. Having said that, I really like the looks of this issue.

Again, Heritage is proving to be one of the most popular issues that Topps sells. Other than the chasing down of the 75 SP's, this is a fun issue to work on. Set builders clamor for the SP's and inserts to build the master set.
I seem to remember that there were more chromes in the boxes. I only received 3 in this box - about 1 per 8 packs.
Overall grade A don't care for differences in hobby & retail.
Go buy several boxes - send me the Rays chromes, refractors, etc....
