Greetings!
Hope everyone is doing well. Yes, it's Super Bowl time, but I'm behind and meant to post this a while back.
Santa gifted a blaster box of Heritage High Number to my eldest and I, each of us getting 4 packs.
As an aside, I didn't realize my kids telling me of their doubts in the existence of the Man With The Bag would affect me the way it did. For all I know this was years in the making and they just didn't say anything until this past year. I told them it's their loss and made them promise that even if they are no longer believers they had better not mess it up for their younger cousins. At least I no longer have to deal with those Elves on the Shelves, (in their case) Bingie and Bongo.
Anyway, my kid gave me the best pack of his share:
There's 4 pack designs. Let's see what he got:
#629 - Jeremy Pena (RC)
#668 - Bryan Lavastida (RC)
Hey, it's World Series MVP Jeremy Pena! The kid enjoyed pulling this card.
Lavastida gets the RC treatment as well, but he appeared in only 6 games. Former Cub outfielder Michael Hermosillo played in 31 games last year...no card issued for him in 2022.
#561 - J.J. Matijevic (RC)
#501 - CJ Abrams (RC)
The kid was also happy to get Abrams. I wonder why J.J. uses dots and CJ doesn't.
#RP-13 - Seiya Suzuki (Rooke Performers)
There's 15 cards in the Rookie Performers set, and he was pumped to pull Seiya, just like Seiya was to get pulled.
#559 - Joey Bart
#515 - Royce Lewis (RC)
There's 225 cards in the checklist, with the last 25 being short-printed. Several players even have 1 to 5 variations to chase. Both Bart and Lewis have 1 variation, while CJ Abrams has 5 to look for.
#606 - Jack Lopez (RC)
#575 - Whit Merrifield
Lopez gets a RC for playing in 6 games with Boston in 2021. He signed with Detroit for the 2022 season but didn't play in a game. He's a Free Agent again. Meanwhile, Cubs pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. appeared in 35 games last year...yup, no card issued for him in 2022.
Here are some backs because The Big Game:
