THE BEST VALUES?
We break down the odds (Hobby will be added on 9/14) and show you were to invest your $. Let’s look at the odds for Auto’s, Chrome, Variations, and Mini’s”
Based on this info, here is how we’d rank the better buys in retail
#1: Rack Packs | They win the day in just about every category. They are the cheapest entry point ($5) and give you best odds across the board.
#2: Blaster Box | Best chance at getting an AUTO and Mini….. and the 2nd best cost per card.
#3: Hanger Box | Not a lot to get excited about here. Odds are the worst of the 3 across ALL categories…and it’s the most expensive cost per card.
VARIATIONS?
Here is what you need to know about variations, they are finally easy to find! On back of the card (underneath the #) you’ll find the variation noted. This helps you avoid having to go cross-eyed looking at printing codes on bottom of the card.
You are looking for the following key variations:
ACTION –> The most common (Examples Here)
TRADE —> The 3rd most common (Examples Here)
NICKNAME –> The 4th most common (Examples Here)
ERROR —> The 2nd most common.. (Examples Here)
THROWBACK –> The most sought after and hardest to hit. (Examples Here)
There is a lot to like about Heritage High Number… and things will be changing REALLY quickly. So… join the discussion in the comments below or jump into the forum RIGHT HERE and share your findings!

Very glad that Topps is giving that extra indicator of whether the card is parallel. Ready to invade Target and/or Walmart tomorrow to get some blasters as I wait for my hobby boxes to show up.
Any chance on adding the hobby odds to this comparison?
TIA
I’m on it.
Unfortunately rack packs are $5.99 at Target, which pushes their value below hangers and blasters.
