Yes, you heard right In The Game is venturing into new territory as the go from:
to 
They are about to release their first baseball title call Heroes and Prospects Hits. Below are some of the hits you are likely to receive. This would be considered a high end product as all of the cards in each pack are hits. The proposed breakdown per pack is as follows:
Each box of 2010 In The Game Heroes and Prospects Baseball Hits will contain four cards – all Hits!
On average, there will be 3.5 Prospect Autographs per box and every other box will contain one Heroes Cut Signature or Heroes Game-Used Memorabilia card featuring some of the greatest players to step out onto the diamond.
The premier edition of In The Game Heroes and Prospects Baseball Hits will be released in November, 2010 and the product will be extremely limited. Confirmed prospects for this landmark release include Jason Heyward and Tim Beckham, who are two of the hottest players in the hobby today.
I don’t know what the price point on this would be but I am guessing somewhere in the $100 – $200 range. The hits do seem impressive. I am still waiting on a checklist. However given that the company has been doing the Sport Kings set for years, I know this set will be just as popular.
Below I have a picture that was lifted from the ITG website, It has what some of the cards will look like. What are your feelings on this set? I am trying to get a box or promotional cards, to give out on the site. We shall see what transpires.
Here’s a look at the Texas Rangers batting order, comparing regular season OPS with postseason OPS.
I like the Hero Papercuts, it is one of the nicer cut signature cards out there, but I am not a fan of loading up the checklist with prospects along with Hall of Famers. I think a set loaded with HOFers and current established stars along with the few select prospects would have done quite well.
I read about this set not long ago and sadly most people were putting the entire set down because ITG chose to use the UD Sweet Spot Signature template on their Between The Seams insert. I agree that seems pretty lazy of ITG but I don’t hate the set because of that glaring mistake.
