This is how you create an expensive/ultra rare issue. Stir up a controversy combined with media hype. Brings attention to the product/hobby. Someone out there would love to have this card now that it's caused a controversy. Therein lies it's value. It's called marketing.

Here's the thing. Before fb and twitter we would never have even seen a pic of these 1/1s. Has anyone even seen Pics of prior years heritage 1/1s? I for sure cannot recall seeing any from prior to 2010. But they are out there presumably. I think they are shocked it was a big reaction. 1/1 possibilities are not what drive interest in this product. I don't care if it's josh Gibson or Ruth or George Washington. That possibility is so slim it's not a factor in most peoples buying patterns with heritage. Now maybe on triple threads of other super high end products the 1:1 possibilities drive sales.

Did I see there is a Will Clark autograph this year? Is that confirmed? (I know the checklist can change, on occasion.) As you may have guessed, I'd be very interested in acquiring one, should someone be lucky enough to pull a copy in their box/case/truckload.
Target is always a day or two behind here on new stuff. Better bet is to check Wal Mart. Just don't hit the ones I plan on getting to.

I received a confirmation from Chris at Blowout cards on March 4, but nothing since the release date was changed. I'm currently in Arizona and hoping my case will be at my front door when I get home Saturday.
No retail in South Texas, but an email from Blowout! Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 - 2014 Topps Heritage Baseball Hobby 12 Box Case I also have additional boxes coming, so I assume they are a day or two behind.

It seems this years Heritage release has a little more flare for the dramatic than previous years, everything from delays to the last minute odds, presale fails and news that embossed cards will be darned impossible to pull.

<< <i>Craig. Based on your numbers for the minis that's 2.2 million packs. Are the minis hobby only?
If so the. The presses really ran for this. 2.2 mullion is about 400k more than previous years entire run.
Ouch! >>
I can't find the mini's as hobby exclusive in the hobby box write ups so far. The Gold Refractors #5, Dual Auto Relics #10, Real One Dual Autos #25, Real One Triple Autos #5 & Embossed #25 are hobby only. I tested those, and if I did it correctly, hobby packs are 846,500
If my calculations are correct, then Uniform throwback print run is only 35 cards per player, Logo Variations is 250 per player and Action Image is about 1,475 per player…Hobby print run for the limited #'s is a formula to test the amount of packs released…that's why it's not an exact amount.

Nice work! Remember that none of the odds are going to be exact because Topps holds back some of the product for replacement purposes I'm sure. However, this does give us a great idea of how much product is out there and what to expect.
Just talked to my LCS owner. He doesn't think he is going to get Heritage in tomorrow as it has not been sent. Or at least he didn't get notification. So this puts me in a bad spot. If I don't get hobby tomorrow I will be out of town until the following Sunday. Which means I will not be able to crack any hobby heritage until 3/24. Unless I find a shop where I will be traveling but still I don't want to haul back 4 boxes of heritage in a suitcase.

Just got back from my local Wally World and Target...no luck. I did break a blaster of 2014 Topps Series I baseball (got a rookie Al Kaline patch). And found 2 boxes of Leaf Pete Rose Living Legend blasters in the discount bin. 2 more Rose auto's to add to my stuff to sell next weekend at my local show. Not to hijack the thread, but I love the series 1 retail patches this year. There's some really nice ones in there.

The Draft odds are strange. I thought it was a 4 card set, with two per box ?? Twenty four per case, (six sets), couldn't use that slot on some of the other interesting variations or subsets ?? oh well.
Wal-Mart in Attleboro MA has 20 card jumbo packs only...no blasters I bought one ... nothing big .. Bogaerts Schoop 2014 rookie stars 1 Flashback..1New age performer Carlos Gomez.....I'm waiting 2 more years til the 67 design before I jump all in.
Something odd on the Terry Francona card though...under the tip off the team name I see an N
Target in frisco tx and Walmart on Ohio. Nothing. Lady at Walmart was loading some old stuff Into a cart. Had spray cleaner too like they were turning over the shelves. She said maybe by tomorrow am. Broken English... Couldn't get it out of her if she actually had heritage, and it was going out tonight or if she was just putting all kinds of stuff out... Most of the stuff being loaded onto cart was the as seen on TV type.
Can you post a pic of the packaging? And the Francona?

Sounds like Mickey Mantle and George Bush on the Jeter card all over again.... those crazy kids over there. Gotta love those Gimmicks
Heritage is not immune to the marketing, it just doesn't play to it's core consumer.....does it?
Hope to have several of these in my cases!
