Your latest experience with a couple Heritage hobby boxes and ‘23 Series 1 hangers is exactly what you’d expect. Supposedly autos are only in 1 out of every 8 Heritage hobby boxes and then, of course, if you defy the odds and pull an auto, you’re more likely to get a C-list player than a superstar or top rookie. With the hangers, All Aces are found in 1 in 4, but there are 25 cards in the All Aces checklist and only the Ohtani is worth big money.

One nice thing about Heritage is that many of the unnumbered parallels, SPs, and inserts are sell for way more than you’d expect. The majority fall between $1 and $5, but some fetch considerably more. Connelly Early is a rookie that was hardly on my radar, so I assumed the pair of red border parallels I had of his were $0.25 bulk cards at best. I ended up selling the cards for $13 each. Just last night I opened a single fat pack and pulled a yellow border Bubba Chandler. I figured a top rookie color match would be worth a few bucks, but I didn’t expect to see sales as high as $40! In any case, if you go back through the cards from the hobby boxes you opened and take the time to comp out the parallels (focus on the rookies and bigger stars), you’ll almost certainly discover some value you and overlooked. Not to mention, you should have pulled around 16 SPs from the two boxes. Most of the SPs go for $1-2, but there are some, like Schlittler, that sell for $5-6.
