I'm not impressed with the inserts, but I'll still do a Dodgers set. The '66 is my birth year set, so maybe I'll try to put together a TTM parallel.

Same here, well on the birth year!!

Looks like the guys at Topps are satisfied with Heritage and are just rolling forward 2014, into the 1966 design.

Don't see any new crazy gimmicks. Just the saturated ones from last year.

DanBessette

Still waiting for 2016, when they do 67 design and will probably include some sort of tribute to Yaz's triple crown.

Mick65

Any word on the 2014 Heritage Hi Number set?

Should be showing up soon, right?

Mick65

From the Website: Enlarged the picture so they are a bit grainy. Always look forward to the new Heritage.....

Anyone interested in splitting a case?

Mick65

I'm putting in a case order this week.

That's pretty much all I can afford this year.

May check out the Archives set in June if it's affordable. But that's about it.

YankeesNYY

Oh please. Tease me with a mariano auto #25 like sabathia's only auto in 2013 which happened to be a very limited dual auto. The quad patch looks cool, but I suppose it will also be window shopping. I'm stil trying to run down some of the dual relics from 2008 and 2009. Anyway, if topps holds true to form, bobby richardson should have his last card reprint auto this year. Loved the 2014/1965 design but topps blew it in a number of areas in both unattainable inserts and poor production quality. Hoping for a better year in 2015 heritage, and I'm in for a case too.

LJB17

I am in for a case split if someone is interested.

Mick65

Anyone have any experience with 5th Floor Sports Cards? I have not heard of them until this year.

heritage

Looking forward to seeing what others pull.

ToadMan

When is this supposed to be released? First week of March?

bjbrall4

Release date should be March 4, twenty three days from today.

gopokes99

Two weeks before we start to see this on eBay.

Knopfler

With the scheduled release date two weeks from today and still no checklist from Topps, I'm thinking it's going to be a delayed release again this year.

Walt

Heritage? Never heard of it....any good?

I don't think you would like it Walt

Walt, are you coming back?

Cardboard Connection just put up a check list. They list two Action Image variation sets, each slightly different; the first is hobby only. I hope some players don't have two AI variations. The number of inserts is getting crazy. I liked the first few years a lot better, without all the "bells and whistles".
I printed out the check list. It's TWENTY TWO pages, plus two pages of comments.

TNP777

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Heritage was a LOT of fun in the mid 2000s. There was an extremely active trading community here, lots of camaraderie, lots of support and happiness for each other. Master sets, complete with inserts and short printed variations, were easily attainable, especially with people willing to trade. Topps killed all of that. Horrible ROI on cases, waaaaaay too many SSPs and other gimmicky inserts, mediocre autographs (with way too many of them being redemptions that all too often are never fulfilled). That's just off the top of my head. I haven't purchased a case since 2008, and that was only the 2nd year of SSPs. It's gone way downhill since then. Too bad, too. 1966 is my birth year - I'd love to go hog wild this year, but will satisfy myself with a team set from eBay and maybe chasing down whatever SSPs appear in it - probably Puig and Kershaw if I had to guess.

heritage

I will put together my set and that's it ! I have a daughter in collage and don't have crazy money any more.

TNP777

Zowie, this would be a fun card to pull/own.

Real One Triple Auto
Clayton Kershaw - Los Angeles Dodgers
Nolan Ryan - New York Mets
Sandy Koufax - Los Angeles Dodgers

TNP777

Looks like the base set is paralleled with a blue ink back.

zep33

George - you should get your daughter out of the collage and into college before any permanent damage takes place

DrFong

Fong is in!!

No one
Admires heritage
More than me
8 years strong for me
1st set will be to keep
2nd set will be to sell

I have no idea why that came out all choppy.

seebelow

I found it interesting, thinking it was a poem or some form of a haiku. Was trying to figure it out until your last line.

Mick65

A Legend Begins and A Legend Retires sub sets exclusive to Target and Wal-Mart sound interesting. Although I have no desire to tracking down packs at either retailer just to chase them.

Yea...I don't think he would dig it either...ESPECIALLY the older Heritage sets.

parkerj

I am in for two cases.....will build refractor set, so if anyone has extra refractors let me know! also will pickup the hof autos...hopefully koufax won't be such a pain as he was to pull in 2011/2012.

That would be because it's a March release.

Did you check the pillow aisle?

I am in for a case this year. My favorite set to build in the design of my favorite set. Retail could show up as soon as this weekend as in past years.

Mick65

IS Topps still running with the "hot Box" craze of a few years back and creating a colored Chrome series, on top of the normal Chrome? I think that lost its shine, but I wasn't sure if they were back for 2015. It's hard set to complete when you get no more that 24 per case.

Checklist is only showing Black /66 and gold /5 that I can see. I was not a fan of the purples either.

Walt

welp, the news today in heritage land is not good. Autograph odds have doubled from last year and will be at around 1:258 packs. Chromes, at least in hobby boxes are 1:23...yes you read
that right, prepare to pull just one chrome in a box. Early rumor is that chromes will be easier to pull in retail. Another rumor is that retail boxes will be plentiful this year and that hobby boxes
will be increased in production also.

W

Mick65

Wonder what will replace the chrome cards per box? With all the other inserts, did Chrome just get squeezed out, or will it be more base cards and less hits?

Mick65

My initial guess would be the two other Chrome spots will be image variations or "blue backs" etc. Perhaps making those "less rare".

Walt

I think what topps has done is made more base card product and filled extra packs with that. I see nothing from the odds that were posted to suggest anything but topps watering it
down. I hope I am wrong come pack time, but 1 chrome a box is just cheap.
