It may well be said, that even as a grown man, I’ve been influenced by hype, marketing and….peer pressure. I really was going to bust an entire case of 2012 Topps Heritage to start my collection. That’s 10 boxes that only yield a single ‘hit’ a box. And Heritage is not a product that sells hits unless you get a super-rare auto.
What was I thinking? I could just as easily bust two to three boxes, and spend the rest of what I was going to use to buy up relics, autos and chrome cards – and still have money left over. I’d love to bust a case someday, but only if the product makes sense. Heritage doesn’t make sense to bust a whole case. Again, what the hell was I thinking?
It’s ok though. I’ve come to my senses. And I have to say, it feels like a huge weight has been taken off of me. I didn’t realize how stressed out I was getting about busting a case of this stuff. I guess that should’ve been my first sign. There’s no way that I’m financially so far ahead that I can bust a case and eat the entire cost for just collecting. Someday I will be, but not yet.
