What’s Buzz-worthy: This year’s Heritage is probably the brand this collector has bought more than any other this season. It’s not constantly full of surprises on the retail front but they are, indeed, in there with collectors finding Superfractors, ink and other surprises inside blasters. This Hot Box delivered a Purple Refactor in every pack and it delivered two of the biggest Rookie Cards possible in Dansby Swanson and Alex Bregman. Those two make this one a win, though the base cards in this particular box were rather bland — most of those stars listed came off of subset cards. For more on Heritage this year, click here. Buzz has busted a few boxes of this brand this year right here.
