very nice looking card.
not sure if he is a HOFer. He was on pace for it and was a good offensive catcher. career avg .302 but with only 1500 hits and 158 HR's and less than 750 rbi and less than 700 runs I think he falls short. But those 3 World Series Rings do not hurt.

If Posey isn't a HOF catcher, it'll be a long time until we see another one. I think Mauer, Posey, and Molina all make it...but it's really shocking to think about when there might be another HOF catcher. Nobody else really out of the "nice start but a real long way to go" category.

Bought a pair of High Number Hobby boxes at $40 each, which is about my price point for Heritage. Boxes are usually a loser, but opening packs is fun and at that price the fun is worth the dollars. I'm paying for the base and the fun of opening. One box had the Bichette /99 as the hit, and the other had Buehler in what I think is the usual spot. Another pack had the Kershaw, even though a box shouldn't have 2 hits in it for 2020. Relics aren't worth much, but Kershaw is cool as the hit as he's the start of a generation. I don't know if I'll keep the Bichette, but I got a full base set. The Ernie Banks 1 per box inserts are really cool.

It's just never worth it, dollar wise. I just belatedly got in my 2021 Heritage hobby (3 boxes of base, 2 boxes of high number, 2 boxes of minors) to build my sets, from a distributor friend that passed them along below selling price. Even at my ~$35ish average price per box, I beat the pack odds and still lost financially. It's worth the $40 for the fun of opening up a box and I expect to lose, but I don't see how the people who pay 2-3x this price point and mostly pull the same stuff or less keep gambling. The base sets are fun still, but with so many invest focused rippers, base sets are almost free on eBay to just buy without worrying about collation issues. I pulled a black chrome refractor /72 of Buehler (which is 1:534 hobby packs, the print run is truly absurd since 2020), 3 relics (Alonso, Stanton and... Aaron Hicks) and 2 auto's (of rookies who are nobodies), 3 action's (should have got 1 by the odds). It's fun, I'm happy with the fun I get from it, but it's a terrible buy for any other reason. 2021 Heritage High Number are like $50 a hobby box on the open market and about the best buy there is right now for fun vs. cost, but there's about $15 worth in the box. The massive print runs have made it really hard to hit anything numbered in your box that's worth even $2. The price on retail is absurd; blasters are like $25 now and almost nothing but base. A hobby box is about the same per pack these days from Topps. |

Nice looking card of the Captain. Hard to tell in the picture why is it a 7 and not higher?

They hit it hard on centering. The back is a little further off. It could be an 8 or 8.5 on a different day I suppose.

Card looks really sweet in hand. RayB

One of my favorite cards and players of the 80's and seemingly tough to track down a 10 these days that is actually centered.

Beautiful Fielder! One of my favorite players as a kid. Those early refractors are really something.
