The dullest breaks of recent note have been heritage case breaks. If Fanatics were smart they would make this a set building product again. But I have no faith they will.

If they were making this for the breakers, wouldn't they up the hits instead of watering it down? Seems like they screwed this up for set builders and breakers alike. Heritage High Number is available pretty readily at $60-$65 (and cheaper). I'll jump in on this year's around that price and think it will get there if they keep things like last year in terms of print run. Otherwise, this is another of my no-brainer buy-it-every-year purchases to add to my growing list of singles-only products as the gap between box price and the average value of the contents widens too much for my tastes.
