Open a blaster box of 2021 Topps Heritage

Last month, I was browsing on the amazon website, trying to find some books. I did find some books and I saw some Topps baseball cards available. There were several choices and I decided to buy a blaster box of 2021 Topps Heritage.

I bought a few packs of 2021 Topps Heritage in May and I did get some good rookie cards. Normally, in a hobby box, there is a guaranteed hit and most of the time, it’s a relic card. So, it’s quite tough to find an autograph card in this set. Thus, I usually look for rookie cards and for me, some good rookie cards often satisfy my expectation. In the past, I never bought any blaster box products and I was thinking that it could be a first try. So, I ordered it and waited for a few days before opening it. In a blaster box, there are 8 packs in a box, 9 cards per pack. However, if there is a special insert, a pack might contain only 5-8 cards. So, let’s see what I got.

Notables on base cards: Raisel Iglesias, 2020 AL Postseason (Rays are AL Champs), 2020 World Series Game 6, Clayton Kershaw, Willson Contreras, Javier Baez, Joe Kelly, Brian Anderson, Miguel Cabrera, Aaron Judge, Starling Marte, Jose Abreu, Cody Bellinger, Albert Pujols, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Michael Chavis, Kyle Gibson, Chris Taylor, Trent Grisham, Brandon Lowe, Christian Yelich, Lucas Giolito, Sandy Alcantara, Jeff Samardzija, Alex Verdugo, Bo Bichette, Jose Ramirez, Ronald Acuna Jr., Jeff McNeil, Wil Myers, Matt Kemp, Rookie of the year award, Sonny Gray, Evan Longoria, John Means

Rookie Cards (2): Luis Garcia, Brady Singer

Short-prints (Nos. 401-500) (3): Brett Gardner, Rich Hill, Marwin Gonzalez

Flashbacks (1): The Price Is Right Airs on CBS

New Age Performers (1): Teoscar Hernandez Chrome (1): Willson Contreras (/999)

Autographs/Memorabilia (1): Josh Hader (Clubhouse Collection Relic)

Well, I was looking for some rookie cards and the result is that I got only 2 rookie cards in this blaster box. For me, that’s quite weird because I was thinking that there are supposed to be 4 to 6 rookie cards. However, I got a chrome card of Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and a game-used memorabilia card of Brewers pitcher Josh Hader. Well, I really didn’t expect to get a relic card in the blaster box, so I’m actually very surprised while seeing a relic card in the pack. Overall, I’m extremely glad to open this blaster box. I didn’t find many rookie cards, but there are a chrome card and a relic card in the box. I checked the approximate odds per pack of finding, this is what is shown on the blaster box,

Chrome 1:92

Clubhouse Collection Relic 1:69

Previously, I only found some chrome refractor cards in the Topps Heritage. I didn’t find any relic cards in the past. It’s actually the first time that I opened a pack of Topps Heritage with a relic card inside. Therefore, there’s nothing to complain about. I don’t know if I will buy a blaster box again, but it might be worth trying.
