What’s Buzz-worthy: If you’re a baseball collector, you know how 2017 Topps Heritage has been received this year. (If not, spoiler time: It’s hot.) This particular box delivered pretty well on the names but didn’t over-deliver as much as the Buzz Break box you can see here. Check out that post for an expanded review. We’ll have more Heritage to come in today’s 12 in 12 so stay tuned if you’re a fan.
