Six Dollars Well Spent - LCS Recap

Stopped into my LCS the other day and found a busted box of 2016 Donruss and Heritage. Like a vulture I swooped in to dig through the scraps.


Best find of the day without question was the legendary San Diego Chicken. I like that they listed his "position".


The design is exactly the same as last year, they rotated the color streaks a few degress and added stippling.. well done Donruss.


I guess it's like they say "If it's broke and can't be fixed, f--k it"


Don't worry folks, I didn't just get Donruss. I grabbed a few guys I collect out of the Heritage box, I guess I was feeling the purple that day. 


Grabbed all the Braves out of the box because why not at 20 cents a piece. Pretty cool they photoshopped the "Final Season at Turner Field" patch onto Ender Inciarte's fake jersey. I already have all these on the way so if any fellow Braves collectors need them let me know.


Back to Donruss, picked up this Rated Rookie of Hector Olivera the thirty year old rookie.


Also got this die cut #'d/999 for a buck. Don't get me wrong I like Olivera and he has been hitting the ball well so far in spring (I know) but the whole trading prospects for a thirty year old rookie in the middle of a rebuild still irks me.


Last card of the day I picked out of a box full of IP autographs right by the register. I think the guy said 2 bucks but all together the cards shown as well as some trade bait for a couple of you all ran me $6 or the exact same price as that rack pack of Heritage I bought the other day.

Retail Fail 2016 Heritage

I promised myself I wouldn't buy any Heritage this year. I just sent my whole stack of 2015 Heritage to Jared a few weeks ago. I even ordered the Braves team set as part of a Just Commons order last week.


Damn you Target...


You sure you don't want to collect this whole set Night Owl? I pulled a bunch of guys like this, no Braves (as usual) and only 1 guy I kinda sorta collect (Drew Smyly) 


Grandal sure has a good looking signature but other than that all the pictures are the same.  Yes I know that's the point but I wish I got excited about Heritage it's the nicest card stock Topps uses all year.


4 team cards out of 20 seems a bit excessive, no?

Here's the subsets, if your building the set let me know. 


I think I'll stick to my cherry picking of cards online for now. This one was less than the Heritage rack pack and I didn't even have to leave my house to get it.  Not sure what to do with that "Topps" sticker though, I guess it can stay for now. 

Thanks for stopping by to read be complain about Heritage.
