THE OFFICIAL 2006 TOPPS HERITAGE POST!!!!!

gregmadduxfan · March 15, 2006 9:54AM

Any packs I pulled a checklist I didn't get any SPs or inserts......here is the rest of the box breakdowns. I ended up busting half the case today and the other half will be sometime later most likely, but hell its hard not to keep busting.....I'm really glad I busted that 4th box now. I was high on the SP count on the first 2 boxes since I didn't have the right SS and the numbers are actually 12 SPs in both.

Box 3

12 Sps
3 Chromes
3 T&N
2 NAP
1 FB
Soriano Bat

Box 4 was just amazing!

Gordon diecut card
Maddux Black refractor - I don't collect that much of him anymore so I'll most likely trade it off to one of you guys for a bunch of SPs I need or put it on the bay

12 SPS
3 Chrome
2 T&N
1 NAP
2 FB

If anyone else pulled the Gordon card do you remember if it was in the same spot or is it just completely random.

kuhlmann · March 15, 2006 10:18AM

I pulled the gordon and it was the last card in the pack. and the pack was already open! it was a sealed hobby box but most packs were open. weird.

softparade · March 15, 2006 10:20AM

Nice pulls fellas! My ears are wide open if any of you want to sell the cut Gordon !

Dan

softparade · March 15, 2006 10:24AM

Why did Topps pull the Gordon in the first place? Is this common knowledge and my head is up my arse? AND, has anybody heard of a Gordon chrome ?

fur72 · March 15, 2006 10:46AM

I have ripped two hobby boxes and two blaster boxes and didnt recieve an auto or relic card in any box. Would this be strange for this set?

magellan · March 15, 2006 11:08AM

Overall auto/relic odds are 1:36 packs , I did slightly better than that over 12 2/3 boxes. I never got a black refractor nor a Gordon. Sometimes for the odds to even up you have to open more.

Dan, I believe Gordon was pulled because Topps didn't have a contract with him.

Dave

kuhlmann · March 15, 2006 11:41AM

How far is too far to drive for heritage? How about flying 1200 miles? LOL IM here in Arizona coming the targets. I did
get a a few blaster boxes but nothing huge. Looks like Im too late here in AZ and when I get back in FL I will be
too late also.

wick70 · March 16, 2006 9:45AM

To buy or not to buy.........

The Gordon cut-out seems to have gone up considerably within the last week. Do you think it weould be smart to wait to purchase, thinking the hype might go down. Or...do you think it will go up even more, because people might be finishing up their sets and this is the last card they need to get?

Cheers! Wick

parker95 · March 16, 2006 11:48AM

I bought mine off of EBay for about $135 about three days ago. One sold an hour ago for $135 and there are only 4 more listed right now. I really think there are more out there. I think it will continue to spike upwards a little bit more before levelling off around $150-$175 range.

Craig in Texas

NewJerseyMeatHook · March 16, 2006 11:56AM

My first Heritage auto . . . EVER. I thought I was cursed.

wick70 · March 16, 2006 12:02PM

Nice....

I haven't had the luck of getting one yet. I did finally manage to pull a black refractor of Javy Lopez. It's off center, so I wonder if I should send it back to Topps.

Cheers! Wick

softparade · March 16, 2006 12:27PM

CHROMES ..... I NEED CHROMES

NewJerseyMeatHook · March 17, 2006 12:56AM

I asked my dad, an avid collector of the original '57 set, if he'd like my posted Heritage Oravetz autograph. His response:

What the hell is “Topps Heritage?”

Ernie Oravetz was about five feet nothing and would have played for no one if not the Senators.

Cute little fart, isn’t he?

See ya on eBay, Ernie!

five7teen · March 17, 2006 3:15AM

gregmadduxfan · March 17, 2006 5:51AM

Busted another 2 boxes last night, nothing special. Normal number of SPs, Chromes, and inserts. Will bust the last 2 boxes this week and then start figuring out my trade/want list.

iamthegreatcornholio · March 17, 2006 9:04AM

Hey guys I have a dumb question. Are the retail $20 "booster" boxes shrink-wrap sealed? I went to Target and none of the boxes were sealed... I peeked in one and the packs looked sealed, but I had a bad feeling since I thought the boxes were supposed to be shrink-wrapped.

Brian

parker95 · March 17, 2006 9:33AM

Every box I have opened has been shrink wrapped. I would stay clear of those -- they have probably been cherry picked.

Craig in Texas

iamthegreatcornholio · March 17, 2006 9:45AM

Thanks Craig - that's what I thought. I'll try another town tomorrow - Atlanta is full of criminals

ArchStanton · March 17, 2006 12:29PM

Do not buy a box if it is not shrink wrapped with plastic that is printed with the Topps logo. The first Heritage I ever bought was in 2004. The boxes were wrapped with clear plastic. All of the packs were searched with the SPs removed. I did not buy heritage again until 2005.

softparade · March 17, 2006 1:34PM

It really would be sweet if I had started collecting Heritage in 2001 with the 1952 design. Buuuut I'm happy having found it in time for last years 1956 appeal !!!

parker95 · March 18, 2006 1:56AM

Just wanted the Heritage community to know that there is a Alex Gordon cutout available for $100 BUY IT NOW. It is not mine nor do I know the guy selling it. I bought mine for $135 about a week ago and just thought that this would be a good deal for someone that wants to fill in the gap!

Craig in Texas

parker95 · March 18, 2006 6:40AM

Well, I hope one of the Heritage members got it, because it is now gone.

Craig in Texas

parker95 · March 18, 2006 7:40AM

I just updated my web page with more Topps Heritage SP;s, chromes, chrome refractors and other inserts. I am needing Topps commons from 1952-1969 in EX or better condition. Check it out and let's trade!!

MY UPDATED TOPPS WEB PAGE!!!

Here is my latest pretty good pull I have had in the past week available for trade:

Thanks!

Craig in Texas

softparade · March 18, 2006 10:50AM

Guys,

anybody into the black refractors? I pulled #24 Mark Buehrle. It is available for trade. I would like a nice wad of chromes/1957 in return. PM me if interested!

Dan

ArchStanton · March 18, 2006 11:12AM

Dan brings up a good point. What would be a fair trade? I pulled a black refractor as well - Ervin Santana #94. It will most likely land on ebay.

I'm actually more interested in what would be considered fair when trading chromes for refractors. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks - Jim

lowstartmick · March 18, 2006 11:18AM

The Black Refractors don't seem to do to well in relation to the low print run, unless it's a major star.

parker95 · March 18, 2006 12:05PM

I have a Black Refractor of Chris Ray if anyone is interested in trading for Topps commons from 1952-1969.

ArchStanton · March 20, 2006 12:33PM

Retail has been rough on me this year. I gave it a last-ditch effort at Wal-Mart tonight. I bought a blaster box and two packs from a retail box. This is the same store where I bought re-wrapped 2004 Heritage.

When I got back to my car, I started with the single packs. The first one had already been opened on one end. I was HOT. I tore it the rest of the way open and found this.

POW

Pack searchers my A55. They were looking for chromes or GU or whatever, but this bad boy slipped by.

The first pack in the blaster box only had seven cards and no SP. I was back to cranky mode. The second pack had eight cards, and this was the last one.

KABLAM

I briefly thought about keeping it, but I’ve taken too much of a beating on Heritage this year. It will have to go.

softparade · March 20, 2006 12:47PM

NICE PULLS MAN!!! I have not done well either regarding the autos. But I have my master set in a binder. I just need ohhh 50 or 60 chromes

Good for you Arch ....

TNP777 · March 20, 2006 12:57PM

Jim - very nice pulls! Is that Parnell signed with black Sharpie?

Geordie

ArchStanton · March 20, 2006 1:05PM

No it is very blue. I think the black background I used makes it look that way. I noticed how black it looked before I uploaded it, but I was too excited. I will get a better scan. That black auto will drive the Heritage diehards crazy.

joestalin · March 20, 2006 1:22PM

Im back from Arizona. My suitcase weighed 38.7 lbs upon departure and came in at a nice 58.3 lbs this morning...needless to say my underwear
did not grow on those days!! 800 count heritage boxes do weigh 6 lbs each!

I found plenty of heritage boxes, most of the blaster boxes were pillaged, so I didn't get anything great...I still think the blaster
boxes are DOA. Someome here prove me wrong.

My excitment came a few days into the trip...I visited a card shop and low and behold they had the mother of all cards..2001 Heritage!!!!!!

It was an unopened box, but only 2 packs were gone...of course I was hesitant because the autos in this series were very easy to
cherry pick. I went around the shop and didn't see any 01 autos so I bought 10 packs at 7 bucks a piece...sure that is high, but
I love this stuff!!! I was very happy opening this stuff, it brought back great memories..I was rewarded with a nice Willie Mays
stadium seat card!! It seemed like all the cards were dead on 50/50. 350 dollars later and a few 01 boxes I was out of there. I also
pulled an 01 Pujols RC out of bowman heritage..nice.

I went later on to the same guy, I had an idea, to buy you all some 01 heritage.....keep in mind I spent 350 the day before. I go in
and inquire about a few other boxes, which by the way were not cheap or rare....I was going to purchase those boxes and then
buy some more 01 heritage....well I ask the guy to knock 10 bucks off a few boxes (one of them a 05 heritage at 90). The guy
gives me some sob story about they are not his boxes and he really sells them fine for the listed price..blah blah blah....I drop the
boxes and leave...what an JERK.

Arizona is a great place, I suggest that everyone take a visit..you can hit 6 targets in no time! LOL

Needless to say, I have plenty of extra heritage now...a few of my boxes had the rarer run of sp's in them...you set collectors know
what Im talking about.

Im glad to see that everyone is doing well!
