Just recently got back into the hobby after a 5 year break... wanted to open a box and got a decent deal on a Bowman Heritage Box. Here is the outcome:

Bowman Heritage Black:
#1/52 Bill Hall ~$8 (wish I would have had this one at the height of his value)

Signs of Greatness:
Johnny Whittleman Autograph $8

Pieces of Greatness:
Barry Zito Pants $8
Robinson Cano Bat $10

Overall I was decently satisfied with the break - I was only expected 1 or 2 autos/GU and received 3. Plus the Bill Hall #1/52 was nice even if its not worth as much as it used to be. The two Lincecums and two Chamberlains were nice as were the two Mantles and the Ichiro/Gordon SPs. The Pujols Box Topper was a nice touch as well.

As for what I will trade, I am going to keep the base and the Prospects for sure. I'm probably going to keep the SP's. I will probably trade the Rainbow Foil cards - preferably to a set builder. I will definitely trade the autograph, game used, box topper, Arod cards, and Bill Hall #1/52.

Nice break,this is a product that is pretty underrated in my opinion,you always seem to get decent value out of a box,and having lincecum in the set as a rookie doesn't hurt.

[whatever]

You might want to throw up that /52 on ebay. I've seen some of those cards go for crazy prices. Some set collectors go crazy for thos things. Granted, it might not sell for $.99, but I've seen the same card of similiar-caliber players for for $20+.
