I was fortunate to pull the Utley Heritage from a brunch pack on Sunday morning, along with all of the rest of the Heritage 2 cards (I probably opened about 30-40 of those packs). I got the Stanton on Sunday evening, and then spent much of Monday fielding offers for the Utley.
Lots of really bad offers, and even more lending requests, but I also had some great offers. I would have considered lending--including lending to BMCollection--if yesterday wasn't the very last day for giving out the award. I knew that the trade value was at its absolute peak yesterday afternoon/early evening.
At the end of the day, I accepted an offer for Utley, Peralta, and Street Heritage, receiving Dozier diamond Bowman, Abreu sig, Wildon sig, Schmidt TBT, Carter GM, Darvish and Perez BoB (400), and Pujols gold.
It was a lot of fun to have such a sought-after card, and I only encountered a few jerks along the way--most of whom assumed I was lying when I told them I had received offers that included multiple sigs.

I couldn't get it or find it to save my life. Not even to borrow. That was the only one I needed like so many others. That's an amazing feeling though having a card everyone wants. Way to hold on to it until you got the most out of it.

Agreed - I did the same albeit much later with the dual sign card with CC S and Wheeler...landed 6 top tier Gold Sp's that has paid immediate dividends last night. I don't really get excited to collect inserts - I do for cardboard for autographs only as Topps can no longer guarantee us a relic is from a game used jersey, bat, etc used by that player. For all I know a Ryan Braun relic card is from Segura's jersey and someone at Topps has no idea either. Only auto's are legit to me.
On here, it's all about the PTS - expect for the TBT series and Gary Carter Gm (so far). I am hopeful they'll issue a Raines TBT for the Expos. But I try to immediately flip inserts for PTS cards. I certainly get the balance or that we are all on here for different reasons though.
Good discussion
