Heritage Minors all the way from Minnesota

Saw that Brian over at Highly Subjective & Completely Arbitrary opened some packs of the new Heritage Minors at his LCS the other week. I asked him if he could pick me up a few packs and he said we'd work something out.


When I got home from work today there was a stuffed bubble mailer sitting on the counter. Inside was a note and 2 packs wrapped in cards and a note saying he had packed some Braves in as well in case the packs were duds. They definitely weren't let's see what's in pack number one.


3 Lefthanders I've heard of were all inside, Giolito will probably take Fister's spot in the rotation on the broken down no good disappointing managerless Nats.


Only 2 autos to a box and one got shipped all the way to Tampa. Sclafani was a 14th round draft pick in 2012 and has hit .318/.399/.388 over 2 seasons in AAA.


Love these inserts, the other inserts in the set look great as well. I've seen complete sets going for around $30 on the bay. I'm considering taking the plunge..


Here's pack #2.. I think I know somebody that could use that Taillon


The hits keep coming in this pack with this orange bordered card #'d/25


Help me out here guys is this a gum stain variation or just look like one?


This card didn't come from either of the packs it was one of many awesome Braves Brian sent over in the package in addition to the packs. I'll give those there own seperate post as there's some really good cards in there. Thanks for reading and thanks for the cards Brian.

  1. Nice of Brian to send you these, but Wonder Water in Clearwater carries them in their store.

    1. I'll have to check that place out, never been.

  2. On my box, there was one insert or parallel per pack. I doubt that it is a real one, since the gum stained variations are more of a rectangular, sugary pattern.

    1. Yeah I looked into it after posting. They're larger, such an odd parallel.
