Value Boxes are back for 2012. I have limited my pickups for 2012 to a Hanger and Rack for Flagship and a Blaster and a Rack for Heritage.
With that few cards in the collection, I figured adding a Value Box would not dupe up to many cards I had already picked up. The Box went for $15.10 at a big box store - (14.99 +/- PA Sales Tax/Store Discount Card)
Highlights
2012 Topps Heritage #296 Jim Thome
2012 Topps #259 Michael Stutes
2012 Topps #307 Vance Worley
2012 Topps #98 Dominic Brown
The Worley is a dupe. I also got a dupe of the NL Pitching leaders in one of my Heritage packs.
2012 Topps Heritage #279 Matt Kemp
2012 Topps Heritage #108 Vladimir Guerrero
Both Michael Taylor RCs (#253, #407)
2012 Topps Inserts - Of course the Thome here is my favorite. The Koufax is the bonus GG. Golden Greats is probably my favorite of the 2012 inserts, so getting 2 of those is a bonus for me.

I'm not so sure about the value boxes. I think the loose packs might be more fun. The Mantle is cool though.
if you ever wanna trade that mantle, i have a buncha phillies.
