The official 2010 Topps Heritage thread: rip, sort, trade

Yeah, I know - 2009 high number isn't out yet, but it's never too early to start thinking about next year. I just saw a preliminary report on 2010 Heritage over on Beckett's blog.
Linky
IMO, this...is one of the nicest looking Heritage sets in quite some time. I'm not a huge fan of the '61 set, but since I'm a huge fan of Heritage I'll most likely do a set. However, at first glance I LOVE the designs of the flashback & relic sets. If they are able to keep all of the names on the preliminary auto checklist, then this looks to be the first semi-strong auto list in the last several years. This could be a very exciting break for the Heritage crowd.
edit to quote from the post: "Among those on the preliminary autograph checklists are Ryan Howard, Matt Kemp, Gordon Beckham, David Wright, Matt Holliday, Luis Aparcio, Bob Gibson, Stan Musial, Carl Yastrzemski, Frank Robinson, Buster Posey and Dustin Pedroia."

Thank you for the link.

Nick, I'm expecting either you or Mike to pull that.

Joe, you're right - there's no reason we couldn't pull it during our group (of two) rip! Good thinking.

I wonder what they'll do with 62s as far as black refs. Hopefully not just an eighth-inch border. Coloring the whole wood part black would look supersweet, I think. But I've got a while to worry about that.
2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs
Nothing on ebay
It's a shame that none of those will make it into the final product.

I bet he'd think twice about suggesting that someone could bribe the graders.
Looking for Charlie (Charley) Maxwell cards.
To start - with the help of a collector friend - I'm just finishing up adding missing SP's for my 2002 set - I actually purchased a complete set and with all the cards I have, I should have a killer set!
Now - thanx for posting the preview of the new set.
I didn't do anything with the set last year for the first time since it started - I will eventually buy a master set.
I'm probably in the minority from what I think in liking the 61T design - simple and pure and not boring to me.
I'm looking forward to the posts - tho not sure if I'll do the set since I usually wind up spending around 1500 bucks.
Last, I will miss Kevin - I've been collecting and trading with him since 2004.
As a vintage and modern collector, this set's number 1 on my list!

Kevin? Is he not around anymore or is he just not doing the 2010 Heritage? Please let me know as I may have missed a post somewhere. Thanks!

My Registry Sets
If they insist on giving us hatless sideways player head shots this could be one of the ugliest sets ever. Its one of the only reasons I haven't pursued a full 61 set is I can't stand the cards of players such as Mays or Banks.
If any one can "make it work" feel free to send me your email and I'll send the files over.
I think it is a little more expensive than last year, but don't really remember what they sold for.
24 packs per box - 12 boxes per case - I am selling them at $750 per case (not sure if I am going to sell single boxes yet, but those would be $75).
There are still a lot of TBD on the checklist, but it LOOKS like an enticing checklist......assuming they stick with the plan (yeah, like that ever happens!)
sell info:

Stamps and the dice game variation card (similar to the black backs?)
Were those also in the original 61 packs?
It would nice if they changed up the box loader (get creative and get away from the panels).
They still look pretty good though....................
As for Dice Game, that is a rare test set that Topps never issued. Probably the rarest and most valuable Topps set that was ever made. For many examples, three or less surviving exemplars are known. Bob, who frequents these boards [bobbscards I think is his addy] can provide a more robust education related to those cards. But they were never formally issued.

1961 Dice Game (18)
R-414-20-UNC
Perhaps taking a cue from the success of the APBA baseball game, Topps produced this black and white set in 1961. While the Topps name does not appear anywhere on the product, the quality of the cards and the typefaces used clearly mark these as a Topps product. At 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", they also have the same dimensions as regular issue 1961 cards. One player per position from each league is included and while not all are superstars, every player was an All Star at one time or another. These cards are extremely rare and the Mantle card is probably the holy grail of all Topps cards.. Of course, considering that it sells in the mid to high four figures, not too many people could afford one anyway. That is, provided more than one exists: in 1985 only one known set had been reported, along with a handful of singles. It is doubtful this set was ever legitimately released based on the low number of extant copies. In fact, when Topps issues are this scarce I have to think that Woody Gelman was involved in their introduction to the hobby.
1961 Magic Rub Off (36)
R-414-23
Topps entered the baseball insert market with this little set, packaged in first series wax packs in 1961. In what can only be seen as a response to Leaf and Fleer's incursion into the baseball card market, the brain trust at Topps started working overtime to design inserts, premium offers and supplemental issues. This is a typical Topps move and many of the innovations they spawned over the years were the direct result of either real or perceived forays into their markets by other manufacturers. For this set, 18 players with unusual nicknames were caricatured on pieces of waxed paper. An additional 18 rub offs contain team pennants, including the two newest entries into the American League, the Washington Senators and Los Angeles Angels and those erstwhile former Senators, the Minnesota Twins.. The dimensions of 2 1/16" x 3 1/16" are not always uniform, but there doesn't seem to be a really big chance that these inserts have ever been reproduced by other parties. You can find these rub offs at just about any big show and they don't really present any problems in obtaining superstars, since the two big names are Banks and Berra.
1961 Stamps (208)
ST-414-1
Topps was a little more ambitious with this initial stamp offering than with Magic Rub Offs. Stamps could be obtained in second series and higher wax packs and possibly in cello packs as well. There was also a premium offer on some wax wrappers advertising a stamp album. The stamps are either dull green (American League) or brown (National League) and came in "blocks" of two. They can still be found intact in this form and many people collect them in this fashion. For some reason Al Kaline appears in both colors, probably having a brown version as a substitute for a player who had been dropped from the set. Therefore, only 207 different players are portrayed. Individual stamps measure 1 3/8" x 1 15/16", while blocks are 3 3/8" x 1 15/16" due to the inclusion of a printers color key. These rather bland stamps can be found with little effort, although big name players get snapped up rather quickly when they are offered for sale. An album also exists.

I see the pre sell cases are running around $750, I remember last year thinking I locked in a great price at $625 with LR Cards, we all know how that went down.
If anyone has a reliable supplier, I'd be interested (if you want to share that information)
I look forward to everyone's scans and analysis.

.....my guess is that Topps will fall in line with another Fred Lewis / Randy Winn SSP that will be just as awesome, and everyone will be buying tons of packs trying pull them, right..........
Will someone at Beckett pull the "Hot" blaster that has 10 of each SSP?....if so ........it will be great....because those gimics never get old.
Or maybe this is the year Topps focuses on putting out a good product again......let's hope!!
I am pretty sure I will be able to get 12 box Hobby Cases in the $715 range, depending on shipping location, but I will need to preorder right away.
I am going to make a call to my distributor Monday but I will probably be able to get blasters and retail 24ct boxes at a discount as well.
Let me know
Joe
Do you have a website ?
86nova
Website isn't finished yet....
I can use Geordie, Doran, Kevin and Jeff as references if that helps.
Also it looks like I will be able to get my hands on some 8 box 24 ct retail cases as well for somewhere in the $340 range plus shipping. I don't know how that price compares per card but I know it won't release until a few weeks after hobby.
Just thought I would post my dupes from all heritage years here. My want list is over on the worthless set collectors club thread. I need some 05 heritage as well as a few from 01
