What I thought
One word easily describes the contents of Heritage, Throwback. Everything from this set should remind those 50 somethings about cards of yesteryear. This box of heritage delivered about 20 rookie cards and 12 inserts plus a GU card. This set is great for anyone looking to collect a full set and also great for TTM auto collectors (as there are no gloss on all cards except the chromed versions. I would suggest picking up a box the next time you are at a card shop.

Odds
24 packs per box, 8 cards per pack
