I finished collating - copied the spreadsheet and started "selecting" the best cards for the set.
I've finished looking at 395 - 495.
I was missing zero cards - good news.
Now, the critique:
8 SP's are either OC or slightly OC.
Many cards have black ink overspray, surface dimples or a very faint roller indentation can be seen on some cards. Plus, some cards have registration problems.
If someone wanted to put together a PSA 9 set? They would have to open many cases.
Quality grade? Hard to say but at best a B.
In the 21st century, I hardly think Topps has to duplicate 50s printing problems.
I hope I can revise my thoughts once I select the entire set.
This is my 7th Heritage year - and every one of them has certain things that I just don't understand.
If memory serves, the 54T design was loaded with rough cuts. And the 55 or 56 design had serious roller indentation problems.
Now, am I all worked up? Depressed or anything? No. It just makes putting a superb master set together an incredible challenge.
I cracked several cases and picked up a few large blocks of chrome cards so I pretty much have all of the chrome cards /1958, yellow team names, yellow letters, NAPs TNs, SPs and FBs to trade. I also have a few extra autos, CC relics and FB stadium seats. My want list is pretty small so PM me if you have any of the following to trade, I most likely have plenty to help everyone else and there is always cash.

I could not agree more with your well said comments... Topps QC needs to get off it's butt and fix these 1950's problems. Today's technology should produce grade 8.5 cards as an average, not a goal...

you don't need to tell me that! the boy and I went to Target and snagged those boxes and we hid from the wife (who is a manager and works up by the registers) when we cashed out. I told the cashier to keep her trap shut.
I am up to 17 relics and two seats. I too am actively trading/purchasing them. Don't get in my way

I have never been a fan of the refactor series. All it is, is a chrome with a lower number stamped on it. I think it is a cheesy way to create another subset. Why not a different picture, different back or something? When I attempt to put together a chrome set, i'll pull refactors and use them as my chrome set. Same picture, same number, same thing. I will trade my refactors for chromes if someone needs what I have. I have quite a few from 2006,and some from 03-05.

Hey guys, here is what I need. Also looking for seat and clubhouse collection relics as well as any refractors. Edited to add: I am still looking for a number of 2006 SPs and inserts as well as some chrome and a ton of refractors and relics.
I know some of you guys are trying to put together an extra base set to possibly sell. I'm not sure if there's a standard trade ratio between base cards and SP's, but I'm really interested in trying to finish my set (still need some SPs). Would anyone be willing to trade lower-end SP's for maybe 15-20 base cards each? I don't want to go over established protocol if a ratio has already been set. Let me know!
It's been a fun weekend of trading. I've got quite a few envelopes going out in the mail tomorrow.
Thanks to all that have helped me on this board in completing my set.My list is complete with the exception of a few Arod cards.All my available cards have been spoken for.
I am down to a 4 SP's left. Can anybody help me out? I think I am done buying packs so I can get back to working on my vintage sets and save some money for the National.

Hey, have any of you sent cards back to Topps this year? If so what was your experience? I sent back 34 SPs that were miscut or had print marks. I included a reciept and a box UPC. Has anyone else tried to return 07 heritage yet?
Trying to complete: 2000 Bowman Chrome 2002 Topps Heritage NAP 2003 Topps Heritage chrome and seat relics 2006 Topps Heritage refractors and relics 2007 Topps Heritage refractors and relics 2008 Topps Heritage refractors and relics 2006 Topps Heritage and Topps Chrome football
Here are some numbers I put together before I go out Target-hunting....
... I've been fooling around with my calculator and trying to figure out big a print run Topps had for the Heritage brand and I came up with this . . . Assuming the following fact: There are 2 chromes in every box, here are a few calculations . . .
If there are two chromes (and/or refractors) in every 24-pack box that means if you take the total number of chromes (110 times 1958) which is 215,380 and refractors (110 times 558), which is 61,380. That gives us 276,760 total chrome/refractor cards.
If you divide 276,760 by two you should get the approximate number of boxes of card Topps printed. That’s 138,380 boxes
That would mean approximately 3,321,120 packs (138,380 times 24) are manufactured.
Now, if there is 1 Short Print/Variation card, in every other pack (1:2 ratio), that means there are 1,660,560 short print/variation cards and if you divide that by the number of shortprint/variations (121), that means are approximately 13,724 cards of every short print.
Further, if there 3,321,120 packs and there are approximately 7 common cards in each pack, that means there are about 23,24,7,840 common cards.
And, if you divide that by the 494 common cards in the set, each common card is printed 47,060
If there are any math majors here, maybe you can figure it out or at least improve on my numbers because I'm not a mathematician.
PS: (if you get dizzy just sniff some of the Topps bubble gum) . . .
BLASTERS, BLASTERS, Blaster of Heritage awaits my purchase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry listen to Metallica while working out this morning.
Finally the blasters have shown up, picked up one this morning, will go back and get others later this week (son's bday a little low on the funds, hurry payday!!!!)
bryan
On the Yankee Bandwagon since April 22nd, 1979 (my first game). ______ Collecting all Yankees especially: Thurman Munson, Yogi Berra, Melky Cabrera!
why did you choose 121 sp/variations? aren't there 110 + 33 yellow var's for 143 total?
Also, how does this jibe with the odds stated on each pack for such items as #/25 flashback auto relics? or the #/58 black refractors? or the #/52 autos?
those odds state the chances of pulling one of those #d cards from a pack. -Jim
Hey, please let me know how you make out Twenty-five cards is the cut-off point for getting card for card replacement. Thirty-four may be sticky... Did you send it with tracking ? You might want to call customer service and ask how they will handle that over count... I have not yet sent back anything this year. My last request for replacement cards experience was disappointing in that I got caught in the policy change and had not sent in the UPC or wrappers.. Two separate mailings of packs of 25 got returned unreplaced.. Regards, Charlie G

Well I was going to get my trade list together this past weekend, but ended up ordering two more retail cases, so the real trade list will have to wait until next weekend. Hopefully there will still be some people wanting to trade. I do have a few chromes to trade, I might end up with some duplicates when the cases come but I can always trade those off.
Chromes for trade: 4, 19, 28, 47, 48, 92, 96, 105, and 109
Clubhouse Relics for trade: Pujols Pants, B. Robinson Pants

Guys, I enjoy this thread even though I dont collect modern stuff, your little world here its great! My question if somebody doesn't mind answering, from what gey a box is roughly 50-60 bucks correct? You guys must spend a ton of cash putting together these signature and chrome sets huh?

well, not REALLY ...... the thing most of us do is buy a case, two, or three and trade our dupes to get us far and then e-bay it! By the way, the last 2001 Topps Heritage box that came up on e-bay sold for 190 plus
Being the Old Goat in this bunch I do old stuff mostly except for 84 Dons.I like these 58s as they really go back to my early collecting days.The first cards I ever had was a 1958 Billy Martin and a 1958 Frank Zupo.
We share more than just the same Icon. My first cards were in 1958 and as years went by I thought the surrounding sets - '56, 57 and '59, 60, '61 and '62 were much better. But now that I re-visit the 1958 set, I think it is the most underrated set of the era by Topps. I think these are so much better than last year's Heritage set.

I love it! I am not the only crazy one here. I ran the numbers earlier based on the same parameters as 2 chromes per box avg. LOL!!!! I was just too embaressed to admit it! And now I just did. That's great...good stuff

There are others where I have 8-11 Cards and others still where I have 3-4 Cards. I guess I found it strange that there were such a huge difference in the quantity.
I actually have more SP's of certain cards than I do of some of these non SP's. I am curious how these numbers compare to yours? Can anybody check these same card numbers to see if the results are similar?
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)

I finished collating - copied the spreadsheet and started "selecting" the best cards for the set.
I've finished looking at 395 - 495.
I was missing zero cards - good news.
Now, the critique:
8 SP's are either OC or slightly OC.
Many cards have black ink overspray, surface dimples or a very faint roller indentation can be seen on some cards. Plus, some cards have registration problems.
If someone wanted to put together a PSA 9 set? They would have to open many cases.
Quality grade? Hard to say but at best a B.
In the 21st century, I hardly think Topps has to duplicate 50s printing problems.
I hope I can revise my thoughts once I select the entire set.
This is my 7th Heritage year - and every one of them has certain things that I just don't understand.
If memory serves, the 54T design was loaded with rough cuts. And the 55 or 56 design had serious roller indentation problems.
Now, am I all worked up? Depressed or anything? No. It just makes putting a superb master set together an incredible challenge.

<< <i>My progress report:
I finished collating - copied the spreadsheet and started "selecting" the best cards for the set.
I've finished looking at 395 - 495.
I was missing zero cards - good news.
Now, the critique:
8 SP's are either OC or slightly OC.
Many cards have black ink overspray, surface dimples or a very faint roller indentation can be seen on some cards. Plus, some cards have registration problems.
If someone wanted to put together a PSA 9 set? They would have to open many cases.
Quality grade? Hard to say but at best a B.
In the 21st century, I hardly think Topps has to duplicate 50s printing problems.
I hope I can revise my thoughts once I select the entire set.
This is my 7th Heritage year - and every one of them has certain things that I just don't understand.
If memory serves, the 54T design was loaded with rough cuts. And the 55 or 56 design had serious roller indentation problems.
Now, am I all worked up? Depressed or anything? No. It just makes putting a superb master set together an incredible challenge.

I have never been a fan of the refactor series. All it is, is a chrome with a lower number stamped on it. I think it is a cheesy way to create another subset. Why not a different picture, different back or something? When I attempt to put together a chrome set, i'll pull refactors and use them as my chrome set. Same picture, same number, same thing. I will trade my refactors for chromes if someone needs what I have. I have quite a few from 2006,and some from 03-05.
To be honest, no direction, but...

2006 Topps Heritage refractors and relics
2007 Topps Heritage refractors and relics
2008 Topps Heritage refractors and relics
2006 Topps Heritage and Topps Chrome football
... I've been fooling around with my calculator and trying to figure out big a print run Topps had for the Heritage brand and I came up with this . . .
Assuming the following fact: There are 2 chromes in every box, here are a few calculations . . .
If there are two chromes (and/or refractors) in every 24-pack box that means if you take the total number of chromes (110 times 1958) which is 215,380 and refractors (110 times 558), which is 61,380. That gives us 276,760 total chrome/refractor cards.
If you divide 276,760 by two you should get the approximate number of boxes of card Topps printed. That’s 138,380 boxes
That would mean approximately 3,321,120 packs (138,380 times 24) are manufactured.
Now, if there is 1 Short Print/Variation card, in every other pack (1:2 ratio), that means there are 1,660,560 short print/variation cards and if you divide that by the number of shortprint/variations (121), that means are approximately 13,724 cards of every short print.
Further, if there 3,321,120 packs and there are approximately 7 common cards in each pack, that means there are about 23,24,7,840 common cards.
And, if you divide that by the 494 common cards in the set, each common card is printed 47,060
If there are any math majors here, maybe you can figure it out or at least improve on my numbers because I'm not a mathematician.
PS: (if you get dizzy just sniff some of the Topps bubble gum) . . .
Sorry listen to Metallica while working out this morning.
Finally the blasters have shown up, picked up one this morning, will go back and get others later this week (son's bday a little low on the funds, hurry payday!!!!)

why did you choose 121 sp/variations? aren't there 110 + 33 yellow var's for 143 total?
Also, how does this jibe with the odds stated on each pack for such items as #/25 flashback auto relics? or the #/58 black refractors? or the #/52 autos?
those odds state the chances of pulling one of those #d cards from a pack.

I have not yet sent back anything this year. My last request for replacement cards experience was disappointing in that I got caught in the policy change and had not sent in the UPC or wrappers.. Two separate mailings of packs of 25 got returned unreplaced..
Regards,
Charlie G

<< <i>Guys, I enjoy this thread even though I dont collect modern stuff, your little world here its great! My question if somebody doesn't mind answering, from what gey a box is roughly 50-60 bucks correct? You guys must spend a ton of cash putting together these signature and chrome sets huh? >>
well, not REALLY ...... the thing most of us do is buy a case, two, or three and trade our dupes to get us far and then e-bay it! By the way, the last 2001 Topps Heritage box that came up on e-bay sold for 190 plus

<< <i>Here are some numbers I put together before I go out Target-hunting....
... I've been fooling around with my calculator and trying to figure out big a print run Topps had for the Heritage brand and I came up with this . . .
Assuming the following fact: There are 2 chromes in every box, here are a few calculations . . .
I love it! I am not the only crazy one here. I ran the numbers earlier based on the same parameters as 2 chromes per box avg. LOL!!!! I was just too embaressed to admit it! And now I just did. That's great...good stuff
To be honest, no direction, but...

There are others where I have 8-11 Cards and others still where I have 3-4 Cards. I guess I found it strange that there were such a huge difference in the quantity.
I actually have more SP's of certain cards than I do of some of these non SP's. I am curious how these numbers compare to yours? Can anybody check these same card numbers to see if the results are similar?
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)
