Since no Devin Mesoraco (208) or Doug Fister (456) chromes, refractors, etc., have appeared, were they the cards replaced by 2015 Cubs Rookies (139) and Red Sox Rookies (356) in the chrome check list?
Still need these: Purples I need- 426 Stanton,429 deGrom,440 Harper,471 Alex Gordon,480 Ortiz,481 Iwakuma,487 Encarnacion,488 Pence,500 Trout
Action I need- 1 Posey, 100 Kershaw, 428 Longoria, 444 Bautista, 462 Felix Hernandez, 473 Adrian Gonzalez
I can trade or buy if you would want to part with thses. My available for trade list is a mess right now so let me know what your looking for and I will check to see if I can help out.
So I'm at a card show today and I am talking to a dealer who is looking for 15 heritage for his set. We start talking a bit and I tell him that I have a bunch and card help him out. I ask him if he has any for trade and he says he has nothing....I wonder how he got the cards he had. He said he needed some chromes and SP's. He does the chrome set every year. We start discussing how hard the chromes are to pull this year and what a hard set that is to put together. I go out to my car and get all my heritage which are in number order and go over to his table and show him. He looks through the 7 chromes I had and pulled 6 he needed and then I make a stack of inserts he needed (he didn't have any). On to the SP's I pull out a stack and and he says whoa, what are you asking for these....I tell him I need 3 bucks each of the chromes and 2.50 on the SP's....He tells me he was looking to pick up the chromes for a buck a piece. I pack them up and say no thanks and he says well can you do 2 dollars on the SP's....I think to myself, ok I am helping him out....I tell him yes and he proceeds to pull out the best short prints...Trout, Cabrera...etc... He doesn't even look at his needs list. I sell him 60 dollars in cards and go on my way.
I can't stand when people claim they are doing a set only to get a price cut on the cards they need, like people will feel sorry for them. I guess I learned the hard way. I think it was Jim who said if you sell a "pick any 10" lot on ebay, you will have guys picking the 10 best cards.
Needless to say, my trades here have been spectacular.
Thanks to heritage and detroitlion20 I had some good success with more trades to finsish my base set, some SPs, and a Kershaw Action, but still lacking a few inserts and 23 SPs.
I had some luck with retail, and was able to add some additional trade bait for anyone who can help with these SPs.
that sucks Kevin, but what you will find is that the chromes (and refractors actually) have very little secondary market value. Doesn't matter HOW hard they are to pull from packs....i have boxes and boxes of them and they never sell for more than $1 each roughly.
However, early in the new heritage season, the chromes/refs will go for $2-4 each, because the setbuilders will crave them. but that subsides, and it probably already has for this year.
Still this guy was a big ingenuous to say the least....
I've been trying to buy Heritage in lots on the blow out form. Not having much luck. The lots I have bought have had little or no chrome refractors and few chormes in them. I don't know if people are just holding them or are having better luck selling on eBay. I have picked up a few lots, when they all arrive I will check back here to see who needs what to complete sets. I don't look at players names, I trade needs for needs or wants.

Blame this on mass wax busters. Rip mass product, blow them out on ebay, then move on to the next product. Us true heritage colector are left in the carnage, opening packs for 2.50 each and having to sell decent cards we pull for stupid prices. I would rather just keep them in a box rather than be someone's middle man.
Kevin, There's always someone like that-no consideration for others & you see it in every facet of life now. I'm so thankful that I decided to come back to the board as I've enjoyed again all the guys trading and the banter about the set pulls and all that goes with it. Dave
Agreed, everyone is top notch here. You need 8 sps? OK just send me 8 back, doesn't matter which ones. Even the newer guys here are picking up on that.
yes this board has a good heritage crew, the best...but its a little disappointing that the numbers have dwindled down over the years...seems each year i make fewer trades on this board.
In 2001, Heritage had 1-80 red back, 1-80 black back, 81-310 base, and 311-407 sp's, along with four insert sets, autographs, and chrome (and, maybe, Clubhouse Collection). In 2015, there are a 425 card base; 75 sp's; four insert sets plus two retail only insert sets; chromes, refractors, black refractors, gold refractors, purple refractors, and retail foil refractors; autographs; Clubhouse Collection and numbered to 99 Clubhouse Collection; eight ssp's; four traded ssp's; In Action, Color Swap, and Throwback Uniform variations; blue backs; gum stained; ad panels; buybacks; coins; stamps; punch boards; minis, bazookas; rub off's; and anything else that could possibly be included. What will Heritage be like in the next 15 years? Maybe prior year traders have reached the point I am fast approaching: enough is enough, it's time to move on.
<< <i>yes this board has a good heritage crew, the best...but its a little disappointing that the numbers have dwindled down over the years...seems each year i make fewer trades on this board. >>
I agree, that's why I also use "The Bench" (thebenchtrading.com) for heritage trading each year.

Since the thread has slowed a bit, was wondering what everyone's favorite Heritage Set is. I think this was done a few years ago, but do not remember what the responses were. I think I remember Kevin's was the 03 set as he liked the 1954 design.
Mine would be the 01 set, with the iconic 52 design, and being the initial set of Heritage. I remember Kevin saying it would have been something if Topps would have included Pujols in the set. The only year Ripken was included in a Heritage set. I doubt the auto. selection in the 01s will ever be duplicated.
Most fun set to put together for me was the 05. Not everyone likes the horizontal design, but I liked it. Cards with the head shot, action shot, and auto.-- had it all. The crazy variations, I think there were 18 were always fun to look for, as were the low number SPs. Still can't figure out where they went!
Would be interesting to read what the rest of you think is your favorite. Hard for me to believe that Heritage has been around for 15 years.
Excellent question Craig, thanks for keeping the thread alive!
I've put together every Heritage set since 2005 (the 1956 design) and that first one for me still is the prettiest (I too loved the SP Variations with the throwback unis). It's the only modern set and pack-ripping I do, and I really enjoy this community and all of the trading partners I've made on this board over the last 10+ years. The herd has thinned out over the last several releases but new guys are joining the fray so I hope that Heritage will keep going strong at least until the 1975 design (the year I quit collecting as a teenager!)

Dave - PM your address and I'll have it in mail tomorrow. I think Magellan and detroitlion20 helped me finish off my Inserts and most of my remaining SPs, so I should be good on the Flashbacks.
Trading and helping others with sets has been a ton of fun and I think this is the one set I'll continue each year moving forward. Great group of guys here.
It looks like I may have to go back into all my other Heritage years and start organizing those as well. I've ripped 2004 forward, but only about 2 boxes each, so likely a ton of holes that need filling, but it's a start.
52-90 All Sports, Mostly Topps, Mostly HOF, and some assorted wax.
<< <i>My first year was probably my favorite, the 2006 set. Had me collecting like a kid again, hunting down packs at Wal-Mart and Target.
The Bonds card on the sell sheet caught my eye, and brought me back into the hobby. >>
That was mine as well. I did go back and collect the 2002-2005 sets later. I really like the 2003 and the 2010 as well as this years and last. I just like my retro cards some .
Just noticed that some of the cards I got have a grayish/green color on the back. Is this some kind of parallel discoloration or just my 62 year old eyes playing tricks on me.....the cards were numbers 26, 246, 306, 362 and 411. If I can figure out how I'll post some pictures with the cards next to the backs of regular white back colored cards that I got.....anybody know anything relative to this? thanks
I figured out how to add scan, you will notice two in middle don't have the darkness on them....any thoughts or is this just something weird that can happen.

Hey if anyone wants to sell off any or all of their remaining heritage cards from this year or from previous years, please drop me a note and hopefully we can work out a deal, i will cover postage on base cards too.
What years did Heritage have a high number set? Near as I can figure out its 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Is that correct?
I was able to pick up 2013 and 2014 at relatively low prices in the recent D&A sale....wound up with one decent hit(Nick Castellanos auto) and one not so decent hit. Even at $45 each shipped, seems kind of pricey though the rookies are outstanding...couldn't do without a heritage Puig and Ryu.
I won a near full set at a killer price on ebay so I have most of the 2008 high number set as well. And 2009 high number is not pricey at all. I don't think ill ever own the 2012 one though.
you are correct. 2008 and 2009 they came in packs only (mixed with regular topps updates).
2009 is tough to find because the sheffield (698) is super short printed....not officially, but in practicality they are few and far between and will go from 35-50 just for that card.
2012-2014 were boxed sets that came with an auto.
2012 is high because one of the autos can be bryce harper. you can find them cheaper as a set without the auto included.
2012 Update was limited, also wasn't it? I thought they were only Topps on-line at 10,000 total production for $100 each.
2013 were $100 each, Topps on-line exclusive, but higher quantities.
And the 2014 was $89 (I think) through dealers.
2008 & 2009 seemed difficult because you had to buy a few boxes to complete, at six cards a pack. Or least I still have quite a few holes in those two.

What years did Heritage have a high number set? Near as I can figure out its 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Is that correct?
I was able to pick up 2013 and 2014 at relatively low prices in the recent D&A sale....wound up with one decent hit(Nick Castellanos auto) and one not so decent hit. Even at $45 each shipped, seems kind of pricey though the rookies are outstanding...couldn't do without a heritage Puig and Ryu.
I won a near full set at a killer price on ebay so I have most of the 2008 high number set as well. And 2009 high number is not pricey at all. I don't think ill ever own the 2012 one though.
2009 is tough to find because the sheffield (698) is super short printed....not officially, but in practicality they are few and far between and will go from 35-50 just for that card.
2012-2014 were boxed sets that came with an auto.
2012 is high because one of the autos can be bryce harper. you can find them cheaper as a set without the auto included.

Topps Heritage - Trade Page
2012 Update was limited, also wasn't it? I thought they were only Topps on-line at 10,000 total production for $100 each.
2013 were $100 each, Topps on-line exclusive, but higher quantities.
And the 2014 was $89 (I think) through dealers.
2008 & 2009 seemed difficult because you had to buy a few boxes to complete, at six cards a pack. Or least I still have quite a few holes in those two.
