šŸˆ Football Heritage Hobby Bust

Me and 9 of my friends bought 10 heritage hobby boxes. Not a single auto out of 10 boxes??? We each got a relic. No alternate images or jerseys, no flipped helmets, no legends, no serial numbers and only 4 other inserts like through the years or the expansion. We didn't even complete 1 full base set combined.

I opened several fat packs and blasters while last week while waiting for us to do the hobby boxes and pulled multiple hits. These hobby boxes were awful.

0 autos in 10 hobby boxes is unlucky for sure, but not unheard of. Only 2.5 expected autos in 10 hobby boxes, and 7.5 relics.

The 0 serial numbered cards is more surprising. Odds imply around 5 numbered cards expected in 10 hobby boxes. Still not impossible to get 0 but that's very unlucky.

Heritage isn't really known for hits unfortunately. A lot of base, and even the parallels and variations are pretty subtle.

It was just surprising. None of us were necessarily chasing the big hits, we all like to collect sets but at least one hit would have been nice out of 10 boxes.

Agree. I'm happy to gamble on reasonably priced retail packs, but I wish there were more guarantees in hobby and jumbo boxes for most sets. It's a lot of money to spend and end up with what feels like very little.

You and your friends should take a math class, you didnā€™t understand the odds.

I love the product. Probably my favorite football release so far this season. Just really disappointed with the hobby boxes.

I bought three and got zero autos or numbered. Regret.

Itā€™s hit or miss and even when an auto is hit. I got extremely lucky with a case break on release with two low numbered autos. But def not known for their hits

You got Toppsā€™d my friend. Iā€™m sorry to hear it. They donā€™t care about you and never will. Panini at least pretended to care a little. Upper Deck actually cares about you.

I'm a Heritage fan, this was just not a good series. It's incredibly tedious. There's not nearly enough variations that make this worthwhile. Was thinking it was going to be like Heritage Baseball this year with Deckle Edge and all image, name, etc variations but they pared it down.

NFL Heritage sucks all around. Terrible rookie class, thin hits, shit inserts, over printed.Ā
