The Official 2020 Topps Heritage Thread - Talking and Trading

nam812 · February 13, 2020 4:04AM

This is without question one of my favorite times of the collecting year.

I know there is a small thread on 2020 heritage questions or something like that, but with this year's heritage less than 2 weeks away this thread needed to be started (weeks ago).

I'm more excited about next year's release, but as usual I'll be doing this year's set, and I'm looking forward to all the usual suspects showing up to display their sweet pulls and do some trading.

Let's hear what you all have on order. I'm trying to secure a blaster case and possibly a retail case.

softparade · February 13, 2020 5:39AM

Isn't a blaster case the same thing as a retail case?

Dan they are both retail products, but when i say retail case I'm talking about a case with 8 boxes of 24 packs each (1,728 cards). A blaster case is 16 boxes with 8 packs in each box (1,152 cards). Together they will be more cards and less money than a hobby case (which has better chances at hits) that has 12 boxes with 24 packs each (2,592 cards).

Boots might buy a few packs of this product.

Why would you do that when you know I make your nickname every year?

I now pronounce you Gaylord.

Mefer · February 13, 2020 11:03PM

For the first year ever, I preordered a hobby case. Can’t wait as 1971 is one of my all time favorite designs!

Griffins · February 14, 2020 9:15AM

2 cases for me. Been waiting for this one since Heritage started

brad31 · February 18, 2020 10:17AM

Curious why no facsimile signatures? They had them when they redid ‘59 and ‘67 but the previews of ‘20 Heritage do not have them this year. Think it breaks the spirit of staying true to the original Topps design.

magellan · February 20, 2020 5:57PM

Time for me to interact with the forum with the annual Heritage thread.

DBesse27 · February 20, 2020 7:03PM

I’m so looking forward to this!

Seems like you're demoting me from a viscount, but I'll accept it.

DBesse27 · February 21, 2020 12:18PM

5 days, fellas!

Although my local wal mart never gets product on time.

Mefer · February 22, 2020 1:28PM

I just saw DAC preorder case price went up about two bills from when I ordered mine. Having never preordered a case, never thought about such happening but it makes sense.

BLUEJAYWAY · February 22, 2020 11:25PM

Will be waiting for some sale promotion at local Target before I pick up some blasters or hangars.

softparade · February 23, 2020 7:50PM

I’m buying a master set online as my initial core. I’ll upgrade any undesirable I can with modest retail purchases and going in moderately heavy on a couple FB hobby case breaks. Will be my first year I won’t 100 percent build from scratch. I’ll be saving a ton of scratch!

54topps · February 25, 2020 10:51AM

My 3 cases from Dave and Adams shipped yesterday. So excited!!!

DBesse27 · February 25, 2020 10:56AM

Seeing single action variations posted on eBay. Is it possible that retail is already out?

magellan · February 25, 2020 3:08PM

My case supposed to arrive tomorrow, Oh boy !

heritage · February 25, 2020 4:20PM

My local card store has is in already.

Best of luck to all the rippers. Looking forward to pixs of your finds.

Thank you nice to see you around yourself

mrmopar · February 25, 2020 9:51PM

I'll be on the lookout for the basic and red autos of Ferrara, Dean and Moeller if anyone gets any and doesn't want to keep them.

Hi George you going to build it this year

DBesse27 · February 26, 2020 11:45AM

Who’s ripping today and got something to show us?

Yeah, what he said.

Billyk97 · February 26, 2020 1:50PM

Sadly, the card shop home closed down and too impatient to order a hobby box online. Hopefully, find a hobby box over my spring break.

akuracy503 · February 26, 2020 2:08PM

For anyone opening multiple hobby boxes could you please post the summary of approximately how many boxes it took to build a master set? (or close to building)

Mick65 · February 26, 2020 2:31PM

Hobby case on line at D&A is $1,160.00....

maddux69 · February 26, 2020 2:40PM

Not looking good for some at first glance, many boxes missing hits. not mine I am still waiting for the UPS man, been stalking him on my home security camera.

Mefer · February 26, 2020 2:41PM

I have a case coming from DAC on Friday. I went to my local shop today and picked up a half case and a partial box (18 packs). I am hoping to build a base set from all of this or at least get really close. I will let everyone know. My plan is to trade or sell all premium inserts, refractors, etc.

Thus far, I just opened the partial box. I pulled the Trout action short print which was a nice pull. Already starting to recoup some of my investment once I sell it!

Good luck all and I will be following along/posting!

Matt

frankhardy · February 26, 2020 3:34PM

Just bought my annual Cardinals team set on Ebay including high numbers. Now I have to start looking for variations. If anybody pulls any Cardinals variations just let me know.

I'm seeing the same with occasional missing box toppers. And that the "hits" are in the bottom row of packs (for at least 3/4 of the boxes opened from a case).

magellan · February 26, 2020 4:05PM

UPS delivery range 4-7 PM, it's now 6, no UPS.

lahmejoon · February 26, 2020 4:30PM

Just curious for those who pre-ordered - how much did your case cost?

54topps · February 26, 2020 4:44PM

@lahmejoon said:

I paid $950.00 Ea

magellan · February 26, 2020 4:44PM

Expensive $975 here and I checked 3-4 sites, all the same.

Hi Dave yes I am what about you?

lahmejoon · February 26, 2020 6:36PM

Thanks for the info - that's about $80 per box, which seems pretty good for this year. There's one shop in town that gets product direct from Topps - he's selling for $85 per box (he said his direct price was $58 per box). Not sure what the going rate was from GTS.

You have to save this thread. Day 1 with no pics is unacceptable.

Bearkat21 · February 26, 2020 8:10PM

So disappointed. I didn’t get mine today so I wanted to see pics.

brad31 · February 26, 2020 10:40PM

Bought and opened one hobby box and lucked into a hotbox. Very happy to get the May/Lux, Acuna and Alonso among the chromes. Pulled Tatis, Lindor, Betts and 2 Verlanders among the SPs. A Joe Moeller autograph (honestly not familiar with him) and a Freeman OPC back. Was a very fun box to open.

nam812 · February 27, 2020 4:05AM

One of your Verlander SPs is a team name color swap variation. The team name is a different color. Nice pull.

brad31 · February 27, 2020 7:59AM

Thanks - did not notice that!!! Appreciate the heads up.

I ended up getting it late last night. UPS delivered to wrong house.

kmnorton · February 27, 2020 10:40AM

Got to love initial panic from sellers. Picked up 28 SPs for $21 last night. My LCS doesn't get boxes until today, so I already feel like a winner.

akuracy503 · February 27, 2020 11:36AM

Is ParkerJ on here anymore? I see his Heritage posts on blowout and wanted to get a hold of him about buying a set.

He stops by to check it out , at least he has last couple years.

magellan · February 27, 2020 11:41AM

Some hits from first 4 boxes, more to come.

magellan · February 27, 2020 11:43AM

My cell phone pics not good but didn't want to scan them as it takes much longer.
