2008 Topps Heritage Blaster

So I bought a couple of boxes of the '08 Heritage to see how much of a set I could get before having to trade. I didn't do too bad but as I was walking throught my local Wal-Mart I saw they had a bunch of blasters for $20. I picked up one from the back of the row thinking I could get another 15 or 20 cards closer to my complete. Got home and started ripping, two packs from the end the I noticed that the card back facing me had a hologram sticker on it. Excited I carefully turned the card over and proceeded to shout at the top of my lungs (scaring my son so bad HE yelled at me!!) the card I had pulled from the $20 blaster was a hand signed/hand numbered Bill Mazeroski numbered 57/59!!!! I'll put the pic in but it's not great.... cell phone pic, sorry.


What a great looking signature. I find it funny that the best card I pulled didn't come from the two boxes but the blaster. I'll take that luck any day!!! I didn't even pull a chrome out of there!! Best card in that silly thing. Hope you all enjoy!

  1. Sweet find for sure, though I still say he's one of the weakest -- if not THE weakest -- Hall of Famer there is. Because of him getting in, the vet voting process was totally revamped.

  2. Wow, great pull. There's no better feeling than opening a Topps packing and seeing your reflection in that hologram sticker -- especially because in most Topps products, a good 'graph is so hard to find.

  3. William: a good 'graph is hard to find in Topps products? My Nyjer Morgan auto begs to...um...okay, you have a point.

  5. Great pull. It is really hard to pull anything like that from retail packs. I had to stop buying them because it seemed all I ever got was commons. I think the best thing I ever pulled from a retail was a refractor.

  7. Niiiiice! Maz signs a lot for Topps but it's sweet to pull stuff like that no matter who it is.
