Crazy day at the shop Coot, I wish my shop had spare red ink heritage lying around.
My take on the target gravity boxes......someone, probably the distributor, is hoarding these because they know it is the only way to find the Mantle cards. I find it VERY odd that these have not hit targets yet. They have been at walmart for a few days now and target always gets their product first. I have been to a few target that had heritage in, but not the Mantle packs.
We have already figured out that there are 200K+ target packs, where are they? fell off the truck into the grand canyon? hiding in the pillow isle?
Do you think someone is sitting on them in hopes for them to sky rocket? I just find it odd that this stuff hasn't hit yet.
Walt, my local Target has a gravity box, but again, given the reviews here, I'm choosing to pass on those and the racks.
Got some potentially bad news today. Joe's distributor messed up our retail order - instead of sending two cases, he sent two boxes. Joe's trying to get things worked out, but we're sorta expecting the distributor to either tell him that he's either sold out, or can't sell us at the price we got originally.
target#2, 9 rackpacks, no blasters. standard b.s. pulls. as Walt said no gravity displays at either store. i guess i'll check some other stores, but no more racks. later
Noticed something wierd, opened a rack pack and found that the large stack of cards had 7 or 8 cards I am missing after making my first set. I have opened just a little more than a case, but I cannot make a second set because of maybe 20 cards I am missing. Card 270,10,18,363, and a couple of others all showed up in one pack. I don't think that this was just a chance thing, I think Topps knows what they are doing by holding back some sheets of cards for retail and the like. What do ya think?

I can't bring myself to buy packs of the regular Topps issue anymore. I just buy the factors set at the end of the year.

I noticed that a few of years ago. I used to buy a case of hobby from LR Cards then buy a ton of retail (Target, Toys R Us) and would find that I only get certain numbers out retail packs that I couldn't get in hobby packs. That's why I would raid the Tagets of every blaster they had sittin there. I needed certain numbers to complete some base sets and always got them from the retail packs.
Well, I will try again, I am down to just a hand full of cards for set #1. If you can help out, please let me know.
Need 454,468,478,479,486 and a couple of inserts; NAP 3 + 8. I know the value of the Jeter and Howard and can trade other SP Howard and Jeter to make it even.

OK, guys hit a few targets today and the retail single packs are alive and well. Didn't pull squat in any of my packs, but did get some of the Mantle HR cards. You all should be checking twice daily to find these. Also blasters and rack packs.
Not to bad Walt, San Antonio had the rack packs, but absolutely no retail at the two targets and three Wally's here. One Wally doesn't even carry cards anymore, kind of odd. I didn't think they had a choice. As a military veteran, I have access to the two bases in town, but nothing there either. I have resorted to "Ticket to Stardom" blasters. Still have 4 boxes of heritage out of my original 15. Does retail sell for the same price as retail?

yeah the first wave that I could see at target was the rack packs. It really should be in the next few days. Its funny the walmart gravity feeds are a set number of packs, but the target gravity feeds had no pack count on the box and had an odd number of packs in them. The box is also much bigger.
Is anyone besides me doing the Mantle and Maris sets? I love the info on the backs.
<< <i>Is anyone besides me doing the Mantle and Maris sets? I love the info on the backs. >>
I'd actually like to know how many people here take the time to read the back of the cards for the entire set. There's a ton of information there, and it would take several hours to read every card as you're putting the set into a binder.
Northern Heritage trail today, but only hit Wal-Mart. Got some racks and a blaster. Let me say that if you get the racks with little security stickers, or whatever you call them, good things will come to you. First blaster I opened had the GU below and behind that was the card below it. Then the blaster had the card on the bottom. Pretty good so I called it a day and didn't even hit Target.
Target gravity feed boxes in my area have 48 packs.
ok kids listen to this one. I went on a heritage hunt today. Went to three different Targets and bought 24 total retail packs with noting to report. went to three different Walmarts with no Heritage in sight. Went to this flea market type place here in Michigan that had a sports card show. There was a dealer there that had one Hobby box sitting there by itself with an open box with five packs left in it on top. I grab the unopened box thinking it was his last one. Well he had another case and asked if I wanted more than one or if I wanted to pick from the new case. I said no I'll just take the one by itself. Well this box must have been a screw up. I knew something was different when I opened the second pack and got not one but two dice games together in the same pack (Arod & Kinsler). Then a couple of more packs in and I get another dice game. so long story short, in the end I ended up getting 9 total Dice Games(all different) and not one single sp in the box. I am baffled. Dice games are supposed to be 1:72 packs, why was there 9 in one box????
this is everything that was in this box
9 dice games (all different) 1 ref Posey 4 chrome 1 jersey Michael Young 2 nf 2 t&n 2 nap 3 bf (2 were in the same pack) 6 ruth chase 0 sp???????? $80 cost of box
now that I think about it. It was a screw up because every one of those Dicebacks was the last card in the pack ( where the sp should be). Which means the one that had two in one pack should have been 1 sp and 1 diceback, the other 7 dicebacks should have been sp's (8 per Hobby box)
Yeah, I think they are just calling it "Heritage" because in series one of the regular issue they are inserting the subset "the cards my mom threw away".............which is what this is.
A little off topic but I was hoping for some help from the Heritage guys!!
I am looking for master checklists for the 1st 2 years of Topps Heritage for all 4 sports. I have Googled this and can only find the checklist for the baseball sets. I am mainly looking for the non memorabilia/autograph card checklist with all the short prints and various different backs.
<< <i>nice screw up, dice backs are worth much more than the SP's congrats! Do you have any of the Mantle HR's for trade?
Thanks >>
I only have one extra of the Mantle chase card and it's up on Feebay right now. My brother-in law took all the other doubles. Some of the Maris chase cards have been going for $25-$30. It's been over two weeks now and not one Wal-Mart in the entire state of Michigan has Heritage. WHAT THE FUDGE!!
this probably belongs in another thread but noticed some 08 and 09 boxes that have heritage update in them at one of my local stores....is there any value in picking these up???
So where are the Mantle and Maris relics? I know target and walmart retail hasn't hit full force, but we were seeing the Ruth relics very early on in hobby and there was only 45 of them. Mantle will have 105 of them and Maris 135. There hasn't been a single one on ebay. I have already seen 5-6 retail boxes which had these packs in them. What is going on here? Are all of them going to show up in one blaster again this year?

LOL not really
I sorted my extra SPs, made a trade with Doran, sold a master set and need to see what I have left now.
Got 3 boxes today to rip later though
