2 autos is probably about the average

If they cut down the CL to 150 cards and got rid of the trash relic cards and just included autos and maybe threw in some chrome cards, you'd have a nice set but this is just not my cup of tea. I really want to give it a shot but not at the current prices.

Yeah I'd rather have it more in the format of a Topps Traded set but with autos/relics. It's only rookies and players that have been traded.

Pretty crazy- for whatever reason I guess I assumed it was close to 50/50 with Auto or relic, is it the same pretty much with Heritage hobby? I’ve only bought like 4 heritage boxes and pulled 2 autos

I opened a couple loose packs at my lcs, just to check them out. Didn’t pull anything, so said “I’ll try one more”…lol…well, it was worth it-

People don’t get flagship. Enough people do now I guess that the price has gone up.
I need to look into getting a case or two of a product in the future to make sets and sell.

Just need to make sure I get them early.

Heritage is probably closer to 4/case.

I’ve opened a lot of cases of each for a few years now.

It’s time consuming, but a fun way to make a small profit and get some PC Cards

Why are breakers on YouTube getting about 6-7 autos per Jumbo Case? Is Jumbo supposed to get more autos?

What?

Each Jumbo has an auto, so 6 boxes, 6 autos, hope so.

I did this for USA baseball, bought 2 cases on eBay for $700 each (when they were $1500 or so at any other place) and a few loose boxes. Missed another case at $800 and wish I would have won that one.

Ended up making some profit, still have quite a bit of cards left too outside of the sets that I made/sold, and the hits.

If you can get those at $40 or less a box then it is easy to breakeven on them. Hope they come back out this coming year because it was super fun to do.

Saw baseball cards at Target for the first time since they took them off the shelves. Bought 4 Update hangers.

Got three different Kelenic RCs. Base, rookie debut, and a throwback insert that I'm too lazy to look up.

That'll do it for me when it comes to Update.

Yeah, hobby cases of Update will yield 2-3 auto's in a case. You might get lucky with 4.

Update is not about the auto's though.

Also, funny this is still sitting on Topps website.

New people to the hobby don’t touch it because they got burned last year.

Are the update rookies like Kelenic and India in Sapphire?
