Regarding card #50 (Mark Buehrle). According to the sheet I have, there is the yellow variation of the team name. Does anyone have one that does not have the team name in yellow? The only ones I have seen are all YELLOW. 86nova Craig in Ohio
Blowout cards DROPPED their 12 box hobby from 679.99 to 644.99 DELIVERED. Amazingly just $53.75 per box. How many times has a bigger dealer dropped its Heritage cases at the onset of release? That is an awfully good delivered price and makes me wonder if they are just awash in cases. In contrast, Dave and Adams price for the 12 box hobby is a WHOPPING 760 bucks and I don't know about the shipping. That is a minimum of a $115 dollar difference
Great pull on the Red! Two autographs so far? Wow! I have opened three boxes and the best card so far is a Torii Hunter Clubhouse Collection. I plan on busting some more tomorrow. I'll let you know if I get any ink!
Craig....I can confirm a white letter team name Buehrle. I have three, let me know if you need one!
As far as the blowout prices, I believe that he wanted to see how many heritage collectors he could take to the cleaners before the real rips have come out. I can honestly say that unless you are a die hard heritage geek, you won't think that this stuff is worth the money. How many no ink 700 case rips do you have to have until the price drops?? We have seen plenty.
I only see the price dropping. Retail always kills the hobby market, but at what point is hobby better than retail? At 53 bucks a box it sure is! 3 blasters will cost you 60 plus tax. I wonder if retail case will drop too?
Well, I have that familar pain in my shoulder blade.....from putting my set in sheets!!!! Of course I messed up and had to move each card over one......I know we have all been there. I appreicate all the scans. There have been some amazing pulls so far, and there are still many many more boxes and packs to be opened.
Let us know if you find retail and where. It should be out soon!
Yes, I'm pretty happy so far. I have gone through 18 boxes so far though. I'm gonna have to call it a night though because I'm starting to get Topps Tunnel or Carpel Heritage or something like that from ripping these new plastic packs.
Kevin, Thanks for the info. and your generous offer. I'll keep on trying, the law of averages has got to come into play sooner or later. 2001 was certainly much simpler--- 311-407 period. Craig

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
After a few trades the past few days I only need two Derek Jeter cards (Short Print 483 - New Age Performers NP6 ) to be completely finished with Heritage for this year. Of course I'm sure I'll rip the four retail boxes that are in route! Anyway, I'll keep my trade list up to date so if anybody wants to trade Derek Jeter cards from other sets for my available Heritage that's fine with me. Also if anyone participating in the 1978 Baseball group rip wants to trade their NM raw cards (not quite PSA submission worthy) for Heritage I'll be glad to accomodate.
Here's the updated list:
Base Set: I have several hundred of the non - short prints available. The SP's I've listed on eBay.
4 Boxes into my case and still not a single Then and Now insert. No ink, and one relic (Posada GU pants of all things) - multiples of many subset cards, and already 3 Yellow Team name Swisher variations...
That can't be a picture of Schoendienst in his playing days. Christ, he looks like my grandfather in that photo. Can't really picture him hitting the weights or putting in an additional order at BALCO.

I have a question I went and bought 3 boxes 6 cards to a pack and pulled about 20 rookie cards.Are there alot of the rookie cards in these packs?This is my first time getting into collecting cards since I was a kid.Any help would be appreciated.Also got the #40 Jeter card but I don't think this will be a rare as first thought.
I know I am new to the boards but I was hoping to get in on some of the Heritage trading. I only collect Reds Team sets, Pete Rose and a few HOFers. My eBay user name is meb3269 if you want to check out my feedback over there.
I would love to establish some new trading partners. I have not traded cards since I was a kid. Man was that fun!

WOW, great to see all the rips and new collectors here. Heritage is in full tilt. This is the biggest week in the hobby. Lots of ripping and discovery.
The Jeter #40 is from regular topps, this thread is about heritage. In the end, the heritage Jeter will be worth more.
As far as my set, I put all the SP's in penny sleeves then into sheets, all the other cards just go in as is. I have noticed plenty of OC cards and some print marks, which I hope I will improve on when I have all my cards in order...getting them in the sheets without skipping something is the biggest challenge.
Im glad someone else was excited about the felt toppers. I can't figure out when the Yankees one is all red..oh well
I will have plenty of chromes to trade if someone needs them. I would rather deal them here first before ebay.
Clemens black refractor is one of the best ones congrats!!
I'm in sensory overload here, still have 7 boxes to open from my case but I'm already in the trading mode - so many interesting cards to trade... I'm not planning to do the chrome or refractor sets other than a couple of players, so I'll have plenty of those to trade as well. I'm thinking the Mantle subset might be achievable, but I have zero plans for my Arod subset cards. I'm definitely taking the day off on Friday to catch up to you guys!
<< <i>...getting them in the sheets without skipping something is the biggest challenge.Kevin >>
A trick I've used the past couple of years is to establish a red line on my excel spreadsheet after every nine cards. This way, as I'm ultimately putting the cards in a binder (even if I'm not at a complete set yet), I can get a good feel for where the cards should be placed.
The one thing I have noticed about the sheets is that they are really uneven. Topps has made every 9 cards a short print in the higher numbers, which means if you use penny sleeves for all the SP's that they fall in the same place in each page. Im not sure if this will damage the cards over a long period of time, but I might have do something about that.
Has anyone noticed that the blue background cards have penty of printer dots on them?? Condition freaks are going to have a hard time with some of these cards.
It is early,but it looks like the chrome set isn't getting much love here. Maybe its just too hard to put together?
Also, a Yankee team set will book more than 100 bucks, it seems like all the Yankee greats are short printed. Sorry to New York fans.
ok, a quick question about two cards in particular: #58 Swisher and #76 Hamels. They are both listed as SPs, plus both appear on the yellow team list. I've pulled two yellow team Swishers, so the regular SP is a white team? I've pulled one yellow team Hamels, so the same question applies. I've looked on the Bay, and I haven't seen anything other than the yellow team listed for either player. I'm assuming it is the same situation as the Buehrle that Bunker has pictures of?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just saved one extra spot in my sheets for Hamels. If it turns out that he doesn't have a variation Im screwed...Im already to #401!!!

I have pulled multiples of the white hamels so that does exist. I'll trade you one if you need it.
I don't think that the white Swisher does. No one here has said they found one, after 25 boxes I haven' and ebay doesn't show any either. So those of you already popping yours into pages, you may have to move them all back one spot.
I'm most of the way through five boxes, and with the Swisher yellow team, I've pulled my first SP/variation dupe. So then, if a white team Swisher doesn't exist, I guess that makes the yellow team Swisher the official SP, right?
So is there another yellow team variation that takes Swisher's place?
Yikes! Kevin, you might want to have an adult beverage and hold in place for awhile.
<< <i>On Swisher, it seems like there are two font types/widths - not sure if that's the "variation" but I noticed it on two different cards I pulled... >>
y'know Jason - I had noticed that very thing being the slight difference between my two before I posted my question. I wonder....

Yeah, who knows, I'm keeping one of each to be safe I think...
OK, in box 6 I pulled a regular white team #76 Hamels, which makes the yellow team Hamels in box 5 a variation. That would make the Swisher with bolder font my 12th SP from that box, I would guess.
At any rate, here's box 6 12 SPs + 4 variations 2 chrome, 1 refractor 2 Flashbacks 1 Then & Now 2 New Age Performer 0 GU 0 ARod 4 Mantles Phillies box topper (dupe)
oh yeah, HOF ink
(borrowed scan from eBay - too busy ripping to mess with the scanner)
Box 7 10 SPs + 5 variations. got hosed on the SPs in this box 3 chrome, including the A's team card. Why chrome team cards this year? 3 Flashback 1 Then & Now 2 New Age Performer 0 GU 1 ARod 3 Mantle Orioles box topper
Halfway through the case, here's where I am: 71/110 SPs with one dupe 12/17 yellow name variations with no dupes 11/16 yellow team variations with no dupes 4 GU 12 chrome, 4 refractors 8/10 Flashbacks with four dupes 7/10 Then & Now with four dupes 10/15 New Age Performers with no dupes 24 Mantles with no dupes - are there 42 total Mantles? 1 HOF ink

A Beckett board member has confirmed what Jason & I have noticed:
Might be worth the time to try to doctor the Swisher card to make it white...actually it appears by my breaks that both cards are short printed. In 14 boxes I have only gotten 3. Looks like there are super SP's again this year. The Hamels is one...also the Irod All Star card. Can anyone with multiple case rips confirm?
In 2 cases I have pulled: 4 Swishers, 3 bold and one normal. Hamels 3 of each version Irod AS - 3 Jeter 5 - 0 pulled 321 Pudge/Vlad 0 pulled 139 Braun - 1 pulled
Anyone who has chromes or refractors (not black ones) and wants to trade them for an Ed Mayer auto (blue ink) let me know. If you dont want the auto, ill gladly buy the chromes from you.
Box 8 (AKA the dupes box) 12 SPs (with the assumption that the non-bold Swisher is the SP) + 5 variations. All SPs were dupes. Yellow team variations now complete 1 chrome, 1 refractor (Clemens), 1 black (David Ross) 2 Flashback (both dupes) 1 Then & Now (dupe) 1 New Age Performer (dupe) 1 ARod 5 Mantles 1 GU - Rafael Furcal from Group D, which has the 2nd longest odds Senators box topper
Box 9 (AKA another dupes box) 14 SPs (all dupes) + 2 variations 3 chrome, including Wright AS 1 Flashback (dupe) 2 Then & Now (dupes) 2 New Age Performer (dupes) 2 ARod 3 Mantles 1 GU - Nick Swisher Giants box topper
Box 10 12 SPs (most of which I needed, including ARod, Manny, Vlad, Giambi) + 4 variations 2 chrome, 1 refractor (Eric Chavez) 2 Flashback (dupes) 1 Then & Now (needed) 2 New Age Performer (1 dupe, 1 needed) 1 ARod 4 Mantles 0 GU Athletics box topper
Box 11 12 SPs (got another Swisher bold, which makes 2 of each) + 4 variations, including Ichiro (which gives me a complete set of all yellow variations) 2 chrome, 1 refractor 2 Flashback (dupes) 1 Then & Now (dupe) 1 New Age Performer (dupe) 0 ARod 5 Mantles 1 GU - Juan Pierre Cardinals box topper
Jay - I've pulled all the cards you mentioned with the exception of the IRod AS
Are the variations short printed? I'm guessing not, but I'd like to make sure...
I've only opened a couple of packs so far but I really like this product! I wish they sold baseball cards at Wal-Mart's in Quebec so I could get me some blaster boxes when they come out! Unfortunately, they don't sell cards at Wal-Mart's here, not even hockey cards...
I'll post my small tradelist when I'm done sorting through my cards!
TNP, you mentioned the odds for Relics. What are they ? I guess they are different for each group. I have one from Group C, one from D, and one from A (david wright)

The price I paid since I bought late was OK with me at about 56 per box.
I collect the set - that's it.
I have only pulled one auto and I've been collecting it since 2001.
It hasn't deterred me.
I would like the excitement of pulling something nice but that's a bonus.
At 3 bucks retail per pack, this is - IMO - one of the nicest products ever to enter the market.

ripping and discovery.
The Jeter #40 is from regular topps, this thread is about heritage. In the end, the heritage Jeter will be worth more.
As far as my set, I put all the SP's in penny sleeves then into sheets, all the other cards just go in as is. I have noticed plenty of
OC cards and some print marks, which I hope I will improve on when I have all my cards in order...getting them in the sheets without
skipping something is the biggest challenge.
Im glad someone else was excited about the felt toppers. I can't figure out when the Yankees one is all red..oh well
I will have plenty of chromes to trade if someone needs them. I would rather deal them here first before ebay.
Clemens black refractor is one of the best ones congrats!!

A trick I've used the past couple of years is to establish a red line on my excel spreadsheet after every nine cards. This way, as I'm ultimately putting the cards in a binder (even if I'm not at a complete set yet), I can get a good feel for where the cards should be placed.
numbers, which means if you use penny sleeves for all the SP's that they fall in the same place in each page. Im not sure if this will
damage the cards over a long period of time, but I might have do something about that.
Has anyone noticed that the blue background cards have penty of printer dots on them?? Condition freaks are going to have a hard
time with some of these cards.
It is early,but it looks like the chrome set isn't getting much love here. Maybe its just too hard to put together?
Also, a Yankee team set will book more than 100 bucks, it seems like all the Yankee greats are short printed. Sorry to New York fans.
Kevin
Thanks!

<< <i>ok, a quick question about two cards in particular: #58 Swisher and #76 Hamels. They are both listed as SPs, plus both appear on the yellow team list. I've pulled two yellow team Swishers, so the regular SP is a white team? I've pulled one yellow team Hamels, so the same question applies. I've looked on the Bay, and I haven't seen anything other than the yellow team listed for either player. Thanks!
Geordie >>
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just saved one extra spot in my sheets for Hamels. If it turns out that he doesn't have a variation Im screwed...Im already to #401!!!

I have pulled multiples of the white hamels so that does exist. I'll trade you one if you need it.
I don't think that the white Swisher does. No one here has said they found one, after 25 boxes I haven' and ebay doesn't show any either. So those of you already popping yours into pages, you may have to move them all back one spot.
I'm most of the way through five boxes, and with the Swisher yellow team, I've pulled my first SP/variation dupe. So then, if a white team Swisher doesn't exist, I guess that makes the yellow team Swisher the official SP, right?
So is there another yellow team variation that takes Swisher's place?
Yikes! Kevin, you might want to have an adult beverage and hold in place for awhile.

y'know Jason - I had noticed that very thing being the slight difference between my two before I posted my question. I wonder....

I've only opened a couple of packs so far but I really like this product! I wish they sold baseball cards at Wal-Mart's in Quebec so I could get me some blaster boxes when they come out! Unfortunately, they don't sell cards at Wal-Mart's here, not even hockey cards...
I'll post my small tradelist when I'm done sorting through my cards!
