Just confirmed by Clay at topps. Could it be any worse content-wise than 09 heritage?

Would love a Yaz auto.

Kevin

zep33 · June 8, 2009 9:42AM

Yaz is signing Upper Deck stuff this year - hope it's not exclusive.

I'll probably buy a pack of these when they come out

man if Yaz has the health to sign 4 UD, there is no reason topps couldn't get him to sign heritage. Dang that would be nice.

Kevin

justmichael · June 8, 2009 10:47AM

I want a McCovey.

Basilone · June 8, 2009 4:33PM

Kevin-

Did you ask Clay if they are also adding an additional 100 Heritage Chromes/Refractors/Black Refractors in the regular Topps Chrome issue this year as well?

bhelser · June 9, 2009 4:05AM

do you have a release date? I just checked with ALL of my distributors and NONE have heard any of this!

joestalin · June 9, 2009 4:47AM

<< Kevin-

I did not, but we can assume they won't do that, based upon a few things:

1) Heritage already released with all the big name chromes.
2) hasn't topps chrome already hit?

I think they learned their less with trying to piggy back the heritage name with the stupid topps chrome set.

Tell Clay he should consult with us before proceeding!

Have we heard when the update will be out?

1944bb · August 15, 2009 6:22PM

New here but looking for help need a 2001 topps "red inked" auto of Vina???

LMK I have 2001 heritage cards to trade. thanks bob m

justmichael · August 15, 2009 9:54PM

This has to be better than the 09 regular issue.With all the autos the could have had the really skimped out.I thought 08 High Numbers was pretty loaded.You 3-4 autos and 3-4 black refractors per case.I hope it stays like that but my gut tells me otherwise.On the other 2009 Topps 206 looks to be a hit with the exception of the sticker autos on a retro product.

The picture in the promo material, where they are supposed to get you excited about the product, has a picture of a Dick Burwell autograph.....that is all I need to
know about this product.

Kevin

Mick65 · August 20, 2009 6:39PM

Do you have a link to the promo information? Are they mixing them with the regular topps update issue?

It least there not giving us the old bait and switch by showing us a McCovey auto. It is what it is.

LOL...Kev...I was thinking the same thing! I didn't want to burst everyone's bubble by posting that crap promo auto before we even saw a checklist. I'm sure it will be filled with all of the star/semi-stars that are still living that were not included in the regular Topps Heritage issue...(yeah right).

joestalin · August 21, 2009 3:57AM

No way topps can put out another bad heritage product, they aren't that stupid.

UD offered more Marlboro's and beer.

Kevin

psu92 · August 23, 2009 3:52AM

Kevin,

Do you know if Topps is going to mix the Heritage high numbers with the regular Topps high numbers (like what they did last year)?

joestalin · August 23, 2009 6:05AM

yes, same set up as last year, you get 2 of the topps regular high number in each pack, now I don't know if those cards will already be released in a previous
product like they were last year. If they arn't then that will add a slight bit of value to as topps base set guys will be looking for those cards.

Kevin

alma1960 · August 23, 2009 6:11AM

Yes, according to the product sheet I saw, Topps update will be included at 2 per pack just like last year. Here's the Auto list I saw:

AUTOGRAPH CARDS
Real One
ROA-DB Dick Burwell
ROA-IN Irv Noren
ROA-BJ Bob Johnson
ROA-AD Alvin Dark
ROA-BWI Bobby Wine
ROA-KG Kevin Gregg
ROA-GB Gordon Beckham
ROA-CK Clayton Kershaw
ROA-CP Cliff Pennington
ROA-GBL Gregor Blanco
ROA-RI Raul Ibanez
ROA-GC Gio Gonzalez
ROA-AB Antonio Bastairdo
ROA-MB Milton Bradley
ROA-EV Eugenio Velez
ROA-VM Vin Mazzaro

Doesn't look real strong. Was last's final auto list better than the promo info? I feel obligated to continue with the set, but I hate getting all those Update cards. Is there a licensing problem and this is Topps way to get around it?

1944bb · August 23, 2009 6:38AM

I can't believe it ---- Kevin thanks so much ---just one week ago almost to minute---- I ask for help in finding a 2001 red inked Vina auto ----- today, just this morning I was able to make a trade for Vina --------- i can't thank all of u heritage guys and gals enough..... now I would like to ask for/or challenge someone to locate one or better yet both of the redemption card for the 2001 THA of Mathews or Doby......I had a Doby back in 2001 mailed it into Topps and well sure you all know the rest of the story ..... Anyhow luv to see one of those again...again I have some ' 01 trading material for anyone with either of "those needles in the haystack"

Josephcb09 · August 23, 2009 11:54AM

44 I just sent you a PM

joestalin · August 23, 2009 12:03PM

pathetic auto checklist, but at least there will be guy booking more than commons. The Beckham and Ibanez will be hot cards. Still not worth chasing
the long odds.

Just because it sells for a lot of money doesn't mean it isn't a really stupid card.

There are many stupid cards, but ones that sell for 250+ suddenly seem a little smarter when found in products that I open.

I think there is a method to Topps' madness of including 2 regular Update cards per pack for the following reason: Topps knows that there are a lot of rabid Heritage collectors that will buy the Update Heritage just because it is Heritage. By including regular cards in the Heritage packs, they are hoping to draw Heritage collectors to get into the regular Topps Update because they already have so many regular Update cards and they may be compelled to complete the regular Update set. Further, maybe by forcing Heritage collectors to be exposed to basic Topps, they are trying to lure them in to collecting the basic Topps as well. Just a thought.

Topps' website finally shows Heritage update, with a release date of November 9.

matthewbschultz83 · September 18, 2009 3:28AM

<< Topps' website finally shows Heritage update, with a release date of November 9. >>

So add two weeks to that and thats probably when you'll be able to get it....

fur72 · September 18, 2009 4:29AM

I see me spending money. Topps T206 and High Number Heritage will keep me busy in Oct/Nov.

zep33 · September 18, 2009 4:51AM

I will more than likely purchase a package of these sports cards

heritage · September 18, 2009 2:14PM

(Zep33) Mike do you think you will bust a couple of packs?

parker95 · September 19, 2009 9:30AM

I just don't get it.....

It seems to me that the Heritage train is losing steam instead of gaining steam. The autos are PATHETIC! Why can't Topps get us what we have been asking for? I can't stand these gimmick cards they have been inserting lately. Just what I want -- a card of some dang butterfly or a piece of turtle shell.

BRING BACK THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!

I have been such a fan of Heritage. Maybe they are saving their money for next year. I am going to give them one more year -- their tenth anniversary product better be loaded!

Give us a decent chance at a hall of famer's autograph. That is all I ask.

Did the 2009 heritage baseball product contain any neat little subsets similar to the Target T205 15-card set last year? I didn't do anything with 2009 heritage, but I did buy some of the Target blaster boxes last year and really liked those little T-205's. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nick

parker95 · October 9, 2009 3:30AM

Does anyone have any NEW information on the 2009 Topps Heritage high numbers? I am really bummed out because this is the first time I have not really anticipated a Heritage release. After looking at the checklists and lack of quality autos, I no longer look forward to busting a case. Maybe there will be a few surprises but if one of the surprises is an upside down picture of Jay Bruce or something similar then this may very well be the end of the Heritage road for me. What do you guys think?

Mick65 · November 11, 2009 9:06AM

Any update on the release date...isn't it any day now?

zep33 · November 11, 2009 9:13AM

oh no

Griffins · November 11, 2009 9:46AM

Blowout says Nov 18th release.

bjbrall4 · November 11, 2009 10:09AM

My local dealer said his distributor told him it would be the 16th.

parker95 · November 13, 2009 11:04AM

It looks like it is being delayed a week according to Blowout and other sources. No big deal to me as the sell sheets do not have me excited or looking forward to ripping packs as they have in year's past. Maybe there will be a nice surprise but I doubt it. Maybe they are gearing up for next year's 10th anniversary???? One can only hope!!!!!

Craig in Texas

footlong · November 18, 2009 5:07AM

is heritage high number live yet or has it been delayed? thanks for the input.

Knopfler · November 18, 2009 6:27AM

I'm not real excited about this set either, but what the heck. I'm in for a case and a half.

ssdawg77 · November 18, 2009 10:13AM

The release date has been pushed back to the 25th of November.

parker95 · November 18, 2009 11:16AM

Maybe they are holding it back to put something decent in -- like Yaz autos!
