Finished ripping a case last night - first ever 12 box session for my Son and I.
Here are the findings:
Fun rip!
But......
4 boxes had no relic or auto and we hit a total of 1 auto in the case. In a day and age when some Topps products contain 5 auto's per box, I think they have to do better than 1 auto. per case, but that's my opinion.
I will take some photo's later. the Luis Robert and Trout poster were the big hits of this case.
Back in the day (there was a specific address to use) if you sent Topps your wrappers and box, and a brief note that there was not hit (like they guarantee on the box), they would send you a "hit". If I got that case you got I would flatten 4 boxes, 96 wrappers and cut the exterior side of my case with the codes on it and mail it to Topps asking for some compensation. Might produce nothing, but all you would be out is a few bucks to mail it to them.
OK - Start of Baseball season!!
Time to break my one and only "for opening" 2021 Heritage Hobby Box....
Here are the results:
50th Anniversary #86 AL Batting Leaders
Club House Collection - Kris Bryant
Baseball Flashback - Joe Morgan
News Flashback - Aretha Franklin
Then and Now - Ryan / Bieber #15
Great Clemente - #2 and #15
New Age Performer - #9 (Voit)
Christian Yelich - In Action Variation
213/572 - Fernando Tatis Refractor
SP's: 401,413,415,463,476,491,494 and 496
And lots of base cards....
Let me know if these can help the set builders out there
I guess what I would be looking for would be non-base Bohms or Howards (Phillies)
After that we're play it by ear on trades...

So you have to wait over 7 months, and buy more product, to get #216 Cavan Biggio? What a bunch of bull that is.
I don't know what else you would expect them to do?....look at the bright side, it will produce an SP base card of a (maybe?) future great that in 20-30 years may emerge as a great card to have with that back story....

I have done that in the past, Topps did respond with a common relic. Four is definitely a bummer. along with the collation. They have the technology to make these cases much better. Topps brass figuring out a way to get you to buy 2 cases.

Wow Mike
First, what a great job with the spread sheet!
On the autos? I remember back in 2004, I only got 1 auto.
There's product that gives a way better yield than Heritage but may also cost ya more $ per box.
I did really great with Topps Finest a few years back.
Suggestion?
I would consider contacting Topps and give them a copy of your spread sheet - that may just impress them like it did me. Also if you still have the case box or the boxes? Include the codes on the box or bill of sale as proof of purchase.
They may send you something since the box has an implied guarantee of 1 relic/auto per.
Note: be patient - they're slow as pond water but will eventually get back to ya IMO.

Thanks for the info and direction. We kept each of the boxes partitioned and went through each "no-hit" box a few times too. I will look around for a customer service mailbox and send something there way.
We have another hobby case but I think that will remain uncracked for now.
Thinking of getting a case of blasters to compare the two cases. 40 blasters to a case = 320 packs versus the 12 boxes of 24 = 288 packs in the case.
Five walmart blasters and two hobby boxes so far. Here are the highlights.

First off everyone happy Easter I hope all is well.
I have a question I have opened a full case plus two single boxes and have not come across #216 not looking like it was made, If you can help me please let me know I can try and find something you need or want,

Hi George, always good to see you. As you’ll see above, Topps screwed up and didn’t produce 216 (Biggio). Best of luck with your rips!
Went to Target this morning for some laundry detergent. There was a long line for a sports cards delivery, so I got on it.
About 35 people later, all that was left were a few 72 card boxes of the 2021 Heritage cards and Pokemon. I bought 2 boxes of baseball.
Got 2 Clemente, 5 high numbers, Luis Garcia Auto, Luis Robert die cut, and an Aaron Judge that took me a while of research to figure out why it was upside down and not an Auto. It is the "Missing Star" version.
Nice hits. Makes up for the $180 I wasted last weekend on some nonsense 2019 hobby box of basketball cards that yielded about $20 worth of cards.
This is "almost" fun, but not.
Hey Moose! Rocco! Help the Judge find his checkbook, will ya!

Those 3 cards will sell for about $200 so I'd say you did really well and smashed the odds. I have 2 questions:
1) Does the Judge with no stars say "no stars" on the back of the card near the card number like it does for action variations?
2) Does the Judge with no stars have the same production code on the back as the commons, or is it different?

Thank you. I'm about "Even Steven" now. (for the last week)
Yes. His says "Missing Stars" in the half circle. I don't know about the code. I don't have a regular to compare it to.

I didnt mean a regular Judge, I meant any common, but your first answer probably answers that for me meaning that the no stars variation most likely has a different code number than the common low numbers. Thanks
I don't have much to trade yet, but will have a lot more soon. In the meantime, here are the SP's and inserts I have available. I'd be looking for Red Sox SPs or inserts in return. I also am happy to help with anybody's base needs.

SP: 446, 472
Clemente: 13

Hey boys and girls. Long time no see. I sat out last year (case wise anyways). Was paying the kid tax. Bought a case and opened up. Nothing spectacular. I'll post my wants/needs soon. Found the all elusive white whale known as retail. Slowly opening tonight. Has anyone noticed the wrong back cards? And if so do they have any knowledge of them?
For instance I have a Goldschmidt front with a Trout back. The backs are flipped if that makes sense - card #s usually in the top right, these are bottom left.
You know, I'm just barely old enough to remember when card companies didn't make "errors" on purpose. There is just something off-putting about a designated error card.

I agree. I liked them when the were initially done in the context of the original set. That made sense to me. Not oh yeah lets make some fake errors. That said with their proclivity to tell you the gimmick on the back of the card. I don't think these printing flaws were intentional.
Ok , I ordered early through presale and received my case on the 26th.
I have gone through 4 boxes and found many wrong backs.Has any one experienced the same.
Could you let me know?
Intentional or not, it looks like the Trout/Goldschmidt sells for about $40.
Edited to add: It seems too coincidental that all 3 pictured above include stars. It also seems too coincidental that card #45 in the 1972 set is an error (green under C and S), and so is #251 (small print and large print).

I have found over 100 wrong backs in 4 boxes.Hate to open the rest. It’s bad news when you can’t make a basic set out of 4 boxes. At least 1 to 400.
I have a case that I am into for $1140, just can't get excited about cracking it with what I've seen coming of of them. I've watched a ton of full case breaks on youtube and have only seen 1 that hit big.

Wonder it it would sell more if Trout was on the front.

I am calling topps on this . 4 boxes which I opened is a rip off. All wrong backs are shown from the 4 boxes over 100, web. Have 8 boxes left but do not intend to open the rest.
Will demand a new case . Hits were not in every pack either.

I realize the disappointment associated with their lack of quality control but you may actually have some cards which are more valuable than there correct back counter parts - no?
In 4 boxes, roughly 850 cards total, the total was about a dozen wrongbacks?
I sent an email to the support inbox last week and have yet to hear from them. No biggie, life is goes on as it's not the first boxes that didn't produce hits for me.

Thanks for your reply, but at least I should try . I guess it is what it is.
I know when I purchased a boxes of Score LOL In 1988 every card in the boxes had dinged corners.
Score did reimburse me but they were the new kid on the block then.
Well I called Topps this morning and they are willing to give me a replacement not necessarily
heritage product to replace the value however it’s not worth all the trouble.
They want wrappers, bar code numbers ,the box, etc . I do not save that stuff .I will just take the hit now,
Open the rest and hope for the best.
Was able to put together all cards up to 400 using the right player according to the checklist.
Opened 6 boxes average 2 wrong backs per pack.288 total many could bring back a good price.

Folks, just finished opening box #8 of my case. 2 of the 8 boxes have the exact same SPs and Inserts. I'm gonna need some help with trades to complete this master set. I also seem to be pulling more black border cards than I would have expected.
Second box had a Yelich auto box topper. First Heritage box topper auto ever for me. Four boxes to go then I'll post my want list. Disappointed with the collation for my case. In past years a case purchase pretty much insured a complete set, not anymore.

I have 6 boxes to open from
My case .I am only able to make sets with the wrong backs and most of a second set.This does not include SPs.I still have to go through those.
Will post extras. I ended up with 288 wrong backs in 6 boxes.

Many of the wrong backs are dupes.
I would guess 80 to 90 % with only a handful found with correct backs and fronts out of this group.

NOTE: this is for newcomers.
While there is "trading" going on and board rules prohibit here (should be at the B/S/T)?
This is a longstanding tradition going all the way back to 2003 I believe.
It's been generally accepted that this is an "exception" to the rule and allowed.

I will see what I have when I get home tonight,
I didnt mean a regular Judge, I meant any common, but your first answer probably answers that for me meaning that the no stars variation most likely has a different code number than the common low numbers. Thanks
I don't have much to trade yet, but will have a lot more soon. In the meantime, here are the SP's and inserts I have available. I'd be looking for Red Sox SPs or inserts in return. I also am happy to help with anybody's base needs.
Available
SP: 446, 472
Clemente: 13
Candy Lid: 23 Soto
SP needs: 412, 444, 453, 473
Thanks!

Hey boys and girls. Long time no see. I sat out last year (case wise anyways). Was paying the kid tax. Bought a case and opened up. Nothing spectacular. I'll post my wants/needs soon. Found the all elusive white whale known as retail. Slowly opening tonight. Has anyone noticed the wrong back cards? And if so do they have any knowledge of them?
For instance I have a Goldschmidt front with a Trout back. The backs are flipped if that makes sense - card #s usually in the top right, these are bottom left.

You know, I'm just barely old enough to remember when card companies didn't make "errors" on purpose. There is just something off-putting about a designated error card.
I agree. I liked them when the were initially done in the context of the original set. That made sense to me. Not oh yeah lets make some fake errors. That said with their proclivity to tell you the gimmick on the back of the card. I don't think these printing flaws were intentional.

Ok , I ordered early through presale and received my case on the 26th.
I have gone through 4 boxes and found many wrong backs.Has any one experienced the same.
Could you let me know?
Thanks Tony

Intentional or not, it looks like the Trout/Goldschmidt sells for about $40.
Edited to add: It seems too coincidental that all 3 pictured above include stars. It also seems too coincidental that card #45 in the 1972 set is an error (green under C and S), and so is #251 (small print and large print).
Only ones I've noticed came from retail blasters from the same store.

I have found over 100 wrong backs in 4 boxes.Hate to open the rest. It’s bad news when you can’t make a basic set out of 4 boxes. At least 1 to 400.
I have a case that I am into for $1140, just can't get excited about cracking it with what I've seen coming of of them. I've watched a ton of full case breaks on youtube and have only seen 1 that hit big.
Wonder it it would sell more if Trout was on the front.
I am calling topps on this . 4 boxes which I opened is a rip off. All wrong backs are shown from the 4 boxes over 100, web. Have 8 boxes left but do not intend to open the rest.
Will demand a new case . Hits were not in every pack either.
There has never been a hit in every pack. 1 per box.

I realize the disappointment associated with their lack of quality control but you may actually have some cards which are more valuable than there correct back counter parts - no?
In 4 boxes, roughly 850 cards total, the total was about a dozen wrongbacks?
I sent an email to the support inbox last week and have yet to hear from them. No biggie, life is goes on as it's not the first boxes that didn't produce hits for me.

Thanks for your reply, but at least I should try . I guess it is what it is.
I know when I purchased a boxes of Score LOL In 1988 every card in the boxes had dinged corners.
Score did reimburse me but they were the new kid on the block then.
Well I called Topps this morning and they are willing to give me a replacement not necessarily
heritage product to replace the value however it’s not worth all the trouble.
They want wrappers, bar code numbers ,the box, etc . I do not save that stuff .I will just take the hit now,
Open the rest and hope for the best.
Good luck with the rest.,
Was able to put together all cards up to 400 using the right player according to the checklist.
Opened 6 boxes average 2 wrong backs per pack.288 total many could bring back a good price.
1) A Missing Hit/Damage Claim Form – attached
2) A copy of sales receipt
3) All pack wrappers & or mini boxes from the product
4) The UPC code (bar code) from the Main box
5) The date code from the box (if a full box was purchased)
6) All Damaged items

Folks, just finished opening box #8 of my case. 2 of the 8 boxes have the exact same SPs and Inserts. I'm gonna need some help with trades to complete this master set. I also seem to be pulling more black border cards than I would have expected.
Second box had a Yelich auto box topper. First Heritage box topper auto ever for me. Four boxes to go then I'll post my want list. Disappointed with the collation for my case. In past years a case purchase pretty much insured a complete set, not anymore.

I'm around to trade when your ready
I have 6 boxes to open from
My case .I am only able to make sets with the wrong backs and most of a second set.This does not include SPs.I still have to go through those.
Will post extras. I ended up with 288 wrong backs in 6 boxes.
Were most different or were there many duplicates, % wise.
Many of the wrong backs are dupes.
I would guess 80 to 90 % with only a handful found with correct backs and fronts out of this group.
