<< <i>426-500 are the SPs. That is weird that you only got one Then and Now and 12 Flashbacks! Any chance you can scan the wrappers stating odds?
Maybe you have an SSP in there. I hope so!
Who is going to pull the first autograph? I haven't seen any on EBay as of yet but I did see a Flashback Relic of Ernie Banks.

EDIT: I just saw a common auto. Went ahead and placed a bid for $19.99 on it for the heck of it. It's a common but I am sure someone will quickly outbid me. >>
I've met Jerry Kendall before. Great guy. Former UofA baseball coach. He's in the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
While we are showing our best Heritage pulls, here is mine:
Next bests would be:
04 Berra blue ink 06 Musial blue ink 07 Red Schoendiest 07 George Kell 01 Dick Groat blue ink 01 Geoff Jenkins blue ink (sad this made the list) 10 Justin Upton blue ink
And that is pretty much it for the good pulls. I had a good little three year run but for as many packs as I bust, I don't do that well. Hopefully I can pull a Mays autograph of some kind and save myself from having to buy one.
Here are some odds. If you are at target you are going to be looking for big cardboard boxes that say something on the side about save for excell representative. Rip into those and you should find heritage (and hopps basketball). Should be 48 or so loose packs, 8 blisters and 4 blasters...enough to get you started.
ok here are the odds. Odds in (x) are for blisters packs which are 16 cards for 5.29
SP 1:3 (1:2) Red Boarder 1:8 (1:4) NAP 1:15 (1:8) TN 1:15 (1:8) Flashbacks 1:12 (1:6) Stick ons 1:8 (1:4) Chrome 1:22 (yikes) (1:12) refractors 1:77 (1:42) black chrome 1:690 (1:389) clubhouse relic 1:57 (1:29) Dual relic 1:9280 (1:5000) flahsback stadium relic 1:1459 (1:820) real one auto 1:562 (1:282) real one red auto 1:1460 (1:728) flashback auto 1:23,480 (1:12,825) CC Auto Relic 1:12000 (1:5400) Flashback Stadium Relic AU 1: 23,480 (1:12,825) 1963 Cut Auto 1:194,000
Autograph odds for retail back in 2001 were 1:152 packs.
Thank you Walt! I appreciate the info. If only we could go back to 2001 when the autos were more plentiful with a better selection.
I see a black chrome refractor on the bay -- those look different from previous years as the border doesn't go all the way around the card. This may be how it was last year too - I don't remember.
Decent Chrome list so far -- sure hope there is a Yaz blue auto! I just placed a bid on the 2012 Topps Heritage Willie Mays Auto for the heck of it. Won't take me long to get outbid. That card should set someone back several hundred dollars!

Well I bid $58 and change so feel free to trump me! I will not be bidding on this card anymore. I mean, why should I when I know I will be getting one of these out of my case on Wednesday?

ahem, you will be getting two out of your case and then trading one to me!
Confirmed black and white variation. I saw a pic of a Halladay, the main picture on the front was black and white. The photo in the circle was now the main pic and the main pic was in the circle. Could this be a SSP? I also saw a coin card in the back of the picture, so somebody somewhere is opening hobby as we speak.
Also Brent and Becca has a contact at topps who is actually talking, unlike my guy who is ignoring me. He said their might also be floating head variations where the RC cards (single player) cards have a floating head in the circle. Hmm
Ain't it cool that every NL Leader card has a Dodger on it? Ain't it just?

Yes...and that's why we keep you around.
Checklist and were the original 63 Leaders like this?
Shields was 3rd in K's, Young 3rd in Avg, and Halladay 3rd in Wins. The different colored diamond indicates they were first to me, the backs list them correctly.
Last one I promise... well or until I bust my hobby boxes This is why I collect, I love this team and I also love pulling that first Ranger. In 1989 it was Ed Vandeberg and I keep the card in my wallet. In 2012 Topps it was Colby Lewis. In this year's Heritage it was Dutch, followed closely by Elvis. I'll be looking for any and Ranger chrome cards. And if Colby Lewis has a chrome card I'll be looking for the refractor, black bordered etc of that one. Also card #147 can burn in hell.
What 2001 product looked like this? Upper Deck Vintage? I remember submitting some of the Ichiro RC's and they looked the same as these. I remember selling the first PSA 10 on eBay for 175.00 - I think the card can be had today for 15 bucks.
Matthew, thanks for posting pics. Personally, I like the stickers & have the Yaz peel off from 1963. Also the NAP & BB flashbacks look better to me than the last few years-maybe there's hope for this year.
Walt I do check the codes on back when I suspect something is different about a card but I don't go through every one.
Maybe I'll have to check my local Walmart this PM although they never seem to get early Heritage. Then again there is a super Walmart & a Target 45 miles away. I'm thinking Road Trip !
The newly updated checklist is now live and in PDF format. I'm unable to post it here since I'm on my phone but you can get it on Topps.com. Lots of interesting things on it! The magic number seems to be 25. As in 25 different blue borders, red borders, color swap variations, and image swap variations. Check it out!

(Before anyone says it, yes, I know it is a RC because of the 2006 MLBPA licensing rules, but that doesn't make it make any more sense.)

So what do you guys think of the 2012 Heritage this year ? Are the photos and picture quality meeting everyone's expectations ?
