I was a little bummed the product didn't make it back in 2014, but maybe it will make a return in 2015. For $12, I don't think you can go wrong with this break. Each pack comes with a Colgan's disc (similar to the disc cards from the 70's), and from previous Panini retail experience I think just about every pack should have an insert or parallel.
I don't know if I'll go for the set, but I'd imagine with two boxes I may get fairly close on the 100 card set. Aaaaand away we go!
Pack 1
Nap Lajoie
Jack Robinson in a KC Monarchs uniform - this may be the coolest card I've seen in a long time
Dave Winfield Green Crystal
Red Schoendienst
Red Schoendienst
Reggie
Chas Gehringer Disc - I almost missed the disc. They sit in the front of the pack, and it fell out as I tossed the wrapper aside.
Pack 2:
Jim Bunning Disc - the Tigers are well represented
Brett
Historic Tickets - Boston and Brooklyn in 1916? Not crazy about the look of these, but I am looking forward to reading this card back and learning more about this game.
Orlando Cepeda Orange...Sparkle? /325 I believe these are the retail only parallel, and have more of a dot pattern than the shard look. But they do look reeeeal nice.
Appling
Joe Tinker
Pack 3:
Brooks Robinson Disc
Brooks Robinson...base. That was a strange coincidence. Hoover hot pack?
Ducky Medwick, ending the Brooks Robinson streak
Honus Wagner Green Shard. Not a Brooks Robinson auto, but I'll take it!
Pee Wee
Zack Wheat
Pack 4:
Buck Leonard Disc. I already have one from my justcommons order. Damn.
Rizzuto
Satchel

Johnny Evers two finger glove - this may be the first picture of a glove in my collection
Maz - ok, we've already doubled the number of Pirates in my Hometown Heroes box!
Bill Dickey
Pack 5:
Connie Mack Disc - the most stately card thus far
Aparicio
Mel Ott
Fergie Jenkins Nations - Oh, Canada
Pudge Fisk

Frank Chance - Alright folks, 5 packs and we already have Tinkers to Evers (two fingers) to Chance.
Pack 6:
Carl Hubbell Disc
Sutter
Another Brooklyn/Boston Tickets - this time from 1946. For two cities that couldn't keep their teams, apparently they played a lot of good games.
Reggie Orange
Berra
Lloyd Wsner - Let there be Pirates!
Not a bad start.
