i kinda doubt it on the thread record, but the real test will be how long this thread gets once the product is released and trading gets going....thats where previous years (06-08) post count moved!
It's been fun chatting up heritage with everyone. I joined this forum on Craig's recommendation. Like it a lot.
While we're on 2014 hold, does anyone recall if the 2008 high number dual autos were redemptions or actual inserts. I'm specifically looking for the granderson / kaline and perhaps one of the skowron dual autos. There's quite a few boxes out there but I've only seen 1 granderson / kaline auto for sale and my concern is that they were redemptions so real distribution may be significantly less than 25.
Ouch! I never noticed it last time I looked at your HOF sales. The actual card is beautiful, IMHO. The $40 2008 high number boxes no longer look so attractive. I suppose there is a shot at the autograph relics? Your Ramirez card is from the regular release. Thanks for the info so far.
i am gearing up for my case break and wanted to get some suggestions of what i should have on hand - i dont like to overbuy suppies as space is an issue...
1) top loaders for the hits - will a box each of 35/55/75/100 pt loaders work? do any of the hits come thicker than that in years past?
2) boxes - 425 base card set +75 sp - but they are thicker - so does a 660 box cover the 500 cards - or do i need 800 for the 500 cards? for the extra base sets i will just size down.
Thought that was part of the grading service? But I am still not sure what the DNA is... (just checked on line, I don't know why I thought they authenticated his DNA, I'm way behind on this)
a base set will fit nicely in a 660 ct box. you will need an 800 ct box for 500 cards. rule of thumb on most heritage issues is about 75% of the box size....so 660 will fit 660*.75 = ~500.
all the cards i have seen have washed out and muddy photos....hopefully its just a function of how the pics of the cards are taken and posted, but it looks like a bad photoshop filter has been applied....kind of like in 2008 or 2009.
Gosh, why would a company post a product like the Bo Auto as a sales prop? That thing is so tilted! Just don't understand Topps sometimes. Quality should be everything!

I think what others are alluding to is that the quality doesn't even match vintage standards. It's like they overdid it with the photoshop. Images are washed out and blurry -- even more so than the vintage originals. I, for one, don't mind it as much as others but I definitely see their point.
Just saw the Facebook page of the new heritage cards. There is a personalized fleer card cut up at a crappy angle 1 of of 1 Tim mccarver. It's gross looking.
Even if your name is Larry, this is not a cool card in my opinion. I'm almost surprised Topps would use a Fleer card but nothing really surprises me these days.
If only all of the cuts were as awesome looking as this one....
Has anyone known someone who works for Topps? I'm just curious how they run their operations. Everything from design to production and marketing. What "type's" of people work there I wonder.
I would be furious if I pulled that McCarver as my case hit. It's bad enough that someone at Topps had the balls to not only produce a card of one of the most loathed broadcasters in the history of the game, but then topped it off by putting a crooked Fleer card in the frame.

That has to be a joke....
Even still.... with some of the other cut signatures, Topps should be embarrassed. I think they hire people who don't care about quality.
With the 1 of 1 cut signatures, the "mega" hit of the heritage series...... my reaction is "no thanks"....
And didn't the cut signatures used to be deceased players? Couldn't you pay these guys $50 for one decent signature...... their thought process is perplexing.

This has to be an early April Fool's joke, right?
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

well, won't be hunting any kind of cards today....its like a blizzard outside and only supposed to get worse as the day goes on. Daughter doesn't have school and I was out early and the roads are already getting slippery......hard to believe baseball is only a few weeks away. al.

For those that don't think Topps listens to people on social media, they definitely do. After witnessing the amount of negative comments and backlash about the Tim McCarver Fleer Heritage Cut Signature, they have now removed the picture from their Facebook album.

Wonder if this card will ever find it's way into the hobby market. May go for big $$$ as an intended, but then unissued card.

It's on the checklist, maybe they will replace with a redemption and cross that bridge when (if) it is redeemed.
I'm sure all of the cards have already packed out. They simply removed the picture in hopes people would quit talking about it. With my luck, I'll probably end up with it. But like Jim said, put it on eBay and it will sell well.

Right....HA, and they are always so careful to make sure it fits in the frame......
Not like any of these will be in circulation anyway.... but they are interesting... and create some buzz
Glad they put "Football Player" under his name.... just in case you're not sure who he is...

Worth repeating again from page 13 or so...

What do Roger staubach and jimmy carter have to do with 1965.
I think I picked the wrong year to bust a first case of heritage.
