I bought 2 boxes of Bar's Pieces of the Past Super Premium Whatever edition. Each box has a 1/1 card and a relic. Each of the base subjects comes in a few different colors to produce enough 1/1's to have more than 107 boxes. You can get them for like $35-$40, so I spun the wheel and tried it.
First box on the left, a win. JFK 1/1 and the relic is from the real Messrs. Smith & Wesson, so perfect for my interests. Who knows what the relic item is from, probably a random newspaper clipping or letterhead. Not a fan of these relics, but I understand the hobby expectation of relics in modern and the difficulty in doing 'true' relics of old-time history figures without a massive budget and resulting huge cost of a box.
2nd box is a dud, this Hamilton is fugly. Hopefully I can trade it for a Sullivan or Jeffries boxing card from the set. The Seabiscuit relic is a piece from a horse saddle, kind of cool in an odd way. I support history cards and creativity
