Retail Break Em: Fairfield Company Baseball Box

I have seen many people breaking these all across the internet. Blogs, sites, Twitter, etc. I have seen the good and the bad that can come from these. But, I look at something that offers me 20 packs, 1 guaranteed hit for $20 and I can't turn away from that. Who Can? So I broke one of the football ones and one of the baseball ones so tame my curiosity.

This specific post is about the baseball box, I will show the football results next week. How did this one go, well, you will have to see for yourself as you check out the gallery!

These were the packs within. Was pleasantly surprised to find a hobby pack of Topps Heritage:

 This was the guaranteed "hit" of the box:

And these were the best cards I got from the packs:

Overall, not bad for what I paid for. If I was to go back and buy another one, this is the one I would buy. I feel like the baseball has more variety and a lot more to offer in value unlike the football one but I will leave that judgement up to you when you see the football break. The pleasant surprise of a hobby pack goes a long ways as well. The hit I got in this box was much better than the football one I got as well. That is not saying much. But I have seen some boxes that have come with much better hits which is what tempted me to breaking these in the first place.

Let me know your thoughts and if you tried breaking one of these and how you did.

 Really like the photography Topps Prime. Probably their best done base set.

First one of these I have ever pulled:

Overall, despite not getting anything too big and having the packs not be that much of a variety, I feel I did well with the overall break. A big part of that is thanks to a ton of rookie cards. If it wasn't for those however, I wouldn't have felt good about this buy. The hit wasn't anything to get excited about either. I would assume though some boxes may have better hits than others.

The baseball box, was a much better buy with more opportunities in my opinion. If I was to buy one again, that is the one I would buy.

Let me know your thoughts and if you have ever given one a try.
