a mini set would be really great but i probably won't be able to do that part of the set together. topps will probably make those hard to pull and put a whole set together will be tough.
If you go back to 2004, Heritage was on fire on our board.
JoeStalin kept it fun and interesting. The "Hunt for Heritage."
I bought a case from Kuhlman who had a shop in the suburbs of Atlanta for 600 bucks - yes the price has gone up a bit.
I wish I could capture that feeling - a whole lotta trading went on back then.
Ya want to know how one may be able to confirm the "print run?"
Back then with 1 case and buying blasters and few trades, I was able to complete the chrome set. Since that run is finite, we know if it's way harder to pull today? There's way more "base" cards being printed.
Still. IMO. It's a fun set to do. I just hope they work on the quality control. Last year I got way too many rough cut cards.
Hi Mike, I still rip heritage every year and make lots of trades. Sadly only about 1/4 of my trades recently are made here, but I’d love to trade with you like the old days!

Sure Dan.
Haven't seen a "pre-sell" on Blowout e.g. yet?
If I'm doing again this year, I'll start with the case.
My disappointment was that in the case - the bulk of the auto/relics was relics. Have had it like that also?

I am out until the 75's come out. Last year I had very poor results and it took the wind out of my sails.
Successful coin BST transactions with Gerard and segoja.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
I pulled 5 autos from 4 blasters from Wal Mart in 2020 (1971). Four blue and one red. 2 HOF-ers Fisk and Kaat. I went back to that WalMart and cleaned them out. No more autos lol.
Never happened to me before or after.
Those are amazing pulls guys. I always bear in mind when opening Heritage that it is definitely not the issue for big hits. It’s a set builders issue that has great tradition. But I wouldn’t think of it as disappointing if I don’t land any big hits. I love watching this thread and your set building quests. Fun to follow. Enjoy the ride!

Conundrum - Loving my unopened baseball card collection....but really like ripping too
Problem is traditional set builders have to pay a "lottery" price to build a set through pack purchases. Nothing worse than having to spend $$ for a hit that you don't need or want. BTW 2022 Blasters have been marked down at Walmart to $19.99.

Everybody craps on retail, but besides the 2 superfractors I’ve pulled 3 autos, including red ink I was able to trade for 13 cards from the 1941 play ball set, and a killebrew stamp card I was able to trade for a 56 Topps Jackie Robinson. All this while spending $200 or less per year on Heritage.

When Blasters were $19.99 you could buy 3 of them and get the same 24 packs as a hobby box (slightly worse odds on some things and minus hobby exclusive hits obviously) for $60 +tax when hobby boxes were usually $75ish or more closer to release date.
I'd spend hours cleaning out the closest Walmarts and Targets.

My guess is the 1973 design killed off the product line.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
Incorrect. This year’s Heritage is coming out in May.

They’d better not kill it before they get to 76. I’m going to want those in a desperate way.
Thanks for the update.
i am ready for 1975 hertiage.
Including the minis.
a mini set would be really great but i probably won't be able to do that part of the set together. topps will probably make those hard to pull and put a whole set together will be tough.
I'm already drooling over the idea of a retro Brett pull....
Where does it say there is a release date? I can’t find one anywhere
A retro mini of the 1975 topps heritage set would be awesome. That Brett and Yount would be amazing pulls.

I pulled two 1/1 superfractors from retail in the span of 3 years (2018 and 20). Hasn’t happened since and I’m not surprised.

I'll be looking to complete a set this year too. Not buying a case by any means, but depending on new pricing, enough to get in on trades.
Would love to see them do regular and mini plus how cool would rack packs be for 1975 Heritage.
I wonder why it isn't on Blowout's release calendar.
Oh Yeah...an old school rack pack would be Awesome


I haven’t seen a release date anywhere.
