LOOSE PACKS 2010 Heritage Blaster vs Loose Packs

I was fortunate to have been gifted some 2010 Topps Heritage packs. Although they were from the same friend who recently gifted a large selection of cards, this time it wasn't through volcanic delayed guilt.
The packs came in the form of a blaster of 8 packs from Walmart and 9 loose packs from Crackerbarrel. (Whatever that might be!) The packs look obviously different, the blaster packs contain gum for a start. But is this the only difference? In the name of baseball science and card collecting curiosity, I will conduct an experiment to see if there is a difference in the number of short prints, inserts and hits.
I will open the loose packs first, and throw out this hypothesis -
The loose packs, being retail and possibly searched, will be inferior to the blaster packs.
To keep it above board and in the true sense a scientific endeavour, I will open each pack, list and scan.As an aside there are still about 14 Red Sox I need to complete the team set, but that is for another blog.
