Where I Chicken Out

 I thought that I'd buy a hobby box of '24 Heritage High Numbers to work on the base set before getting the rest as singles. The price of said box was a little more than I was willing to pay, and not willing to pay a premium to chase parallels of Paul Skenes. So, for a lot less, I got the 501-700 base set, knowing the SPs aren't as intimidating with this.

So much cheaper. As in about 1/4 of what I'd pay for the hobby box.

There were a small pile of players I was surprised to see here and not in the main release. I could also have included Kenley Jansen or Jake Cronenworth in this list as well. You'd swear it was Upper Deck flagship holding off on Young Guns so there's some reason to get Extended.

My fave pictures in the 200. One generally doesn't get Heritage for the photography, but there was still a nice selection of alternate uniforms, patches, angles and Panini-friendly catcher shots.

I'll end with a very Canadian moment preserved as a 'fact on the back'.

25 SPs left to go! And really only Addison Barger seems to be any sort of a challenge.
