2009 Topps Heritage Baseball Box Break (1960 Topps Design)

This is a break of an 8-pack box with each pack containing 8 cards except for those with an autograph or relic card (these packs have 7).  As you can see below, I found a game used memorabilia relic card in the final pack opened. Overall, I was not delighted with this product. While I enjoy the 1960 Topps baseball design and had a fair number of cards from the original set as a kid, this box was made up almost entirely of base cards with 61 of the 63 cards being base cards.  I enjoy lots of inserts, parallels, etc. such as found in the 2011 Topps Update Series baseball Walmart 72-card blaster boxes and other 2011 Topps baseball products.  There were 3 short printed hi numbers in the box as well. The cost was $11.98 at Kmart, marked down from an original price of $21.98. Each pack included a sealed piece of bubble gum - I would have preferred an additional card per pack as the gum is useless to me, though I understand they were trying to recapture the feel of opening a vintage pack to some degree.  The box design and pack design were very nice.
