Has anyone opend 07 Bowman Heritage yet?...THE OFFICIAL 07 BOWMAN HERITAGE TALK/TRADE/WHATEVER PAGE.

Guru · November 9, 2007 7:35AM

I'm just curious how awesome the cards are? How would you compare them to other years? I'm debating on trying to do this set. I did last years, but I'm not sure on this one.

Stone193 · November 9, 2007 7:58AM

Chris

I used to do the BHeritage set but don't strictly due to cost/budget.

I remember trading with Basilone 3 or 4 yrs back.

One thing - I remember the 03 set was loaded with autos. The only set I was ever really lucky with.

Good luck if ya choose to do the set.
mike

kmnorton · November 9, 2007 8:51AM

Funny you should ask, Chris, I just went to the hobby shop today and picked up a box. I really don't like the foil cards, but I'm attracted to retro sets like Rube Waddell to shiny objects. Not too bad of a box for me. 2 GU's, 1 auto, 1 1 of 1 prospect card and 8 SP (the shop owner thought about 5-6 fall per box). May just try to pick up singles rather than opening a gazillion boxes like I tend to do.

At least this year they didn't do that stupid, ever so slight tinge in color to indicate Short Prints.

mosaic · November 9, 2007 8:54AM

Post some scans!

After last year, I am VERY gunshy about Bowman Heritage. Whatta debacle that was... and the design was butt ugly too.

kmnorton · November 9, 2007 8:56AM

Frank,

I'll try and scan some tonight (if I can get my stupid scanner to work).

Kurt

brian26 · November 9, 2007 11:26AM

From what I've seen on the Bay, the design is fairly decent this year.

Rumor has it that this is the last year for Bowman Heritage.

Estil · November 9, 2007 5:11PM

Probably because they're running out of Bowman sets to remake:

* 2001: 1948 Bowman
* 2002: 1954 Bowman
* 2003: proposed 1956 Bowman design
* 2004: 1955 Bowman
* 2005: 1951 Bowman
* 2006: 1949 Bowman
* 2007: 1952 Bowman

Knopfler · November 10, 2007 12:51AM

I just opened a case. Pretty sweet looking cards in my opinion. Here are a few that I have scanned. I did pull a 1/1 Ichiro but haven't scanned it yet.

kuhlmann · November 10, 2007 3:04AM

I opened 2 boxes. remind me alot of 2006 heritage nice cards.

knopfler that dice matsuzaka card you have there is the no sig sp version. i pretty sure of that. from what i read over on beckett boards

sp's are 181-200 no sigs and 226-250 no sigs. and the 5 mantles 1-5! people are bidding crazy on joba cards and he isnt even an sp. i had 5 and i think i got around 55$ for the 5 of them. 3 weeks from now they will be .99 cents.

Knopfler · November 10, 2007 3:27AM

Thanks Kuhlmann! I was wondering what the SP's were. I had the list but I did not even notice that some did not have signatures.

drewsef · November 10, 2007 3:38AM

those look kinda cool, I'm curious, what does the baseball have on it on Joba's card? I can read Joba, but what is the second word?

Hi Chris!

I think the cards look nice also. Very smart to strike while the iron's hot!

You still down in Atlanta area?

<< <i>what does the baseball have on it on Joba's card? >>

Joba Rules.

Guru · November 10, 2007 4:54AM

Jaba rules too.

softparade · November 10, 2007 6:42AM

That Joba has a touched bottom right corner

F1ferrari · November 10, 2007 6:53AM

So for the Gordon, they just 'paint-ized' the same photo from his 2007 Topps card?

Knopfler · November 10, 2007 9:32AM

The Dice-K is 01/52. Doesn't mean much to me, but seems like the #1 cards carries a premium sometimes.

mosaic · November 10, 2007 12:04PM

Thanks for posting pics... hmmm, nice design this year. I'm definitely going to at least buy a couple blasters. Looks like better bang for the buck than last year's set. I just want to forget 06 Bowman Heritage.

Love the sensible SP numbering... and no silly pastel variants!

TNP777 · November 10, 2007 1:57PM

Chris - nice Ichiro, and you're right - that 1/52 DiceK will bring a bit of a premium.

Sooo, whatcha got in the way of Dodger parallels?

Geordie

Knopfler · November 10, 2007 2:13PM

Haven't really gone through the parallels yet. I'm sure I have plenty of the rainbows or whatever they're called. I see the pics I posted aren't showing now. Having a lot of problems with ranchoweb pic hosting lately. Anyone know of another good pic hosting service? I pay $5.95 a month for ranchoweb so I don't mind paying a little if it's good service.

rube26105 · November 10, 2007 2:21PM

ive used yahoo geocities for years and theve only clunked out on me a couple of times when site was down,otherwise ive never a problem with them

Clemaz · November 10, 2007 2:23PM

Photobucket.com. It is free and works fine.

Knopfler · November 10, 2007 2:30PM

Seems like I've used Geocities before and I seem to recall something about a problem using them with ebay auctions. Or am I imaging things? Seems like the pics where there sometimes, and then would be gone for a while due to a bandwidth issue or something like that.

gosteelers · November 10, 2007 2:35PM

Photobucket.com. It is free and works fine.

BobaFett72 · November 10, 2007 4:13PM

what are boxes running these days price wise.

kmnorton · November 10, 2007 4:17PM

I don't know about anybody else, but I picked mine up for $70 (hobby) at the local. Kind of curious what others were paying. I was skeptical like Frank after last year's disaster, but I think I might do the set.

Kurt

TNP777 · November 10, 2007 4:42PM

Kurt - prices are dropping rapidly on 401-card master sets on the Bay. Down from over $225 the day of release to around $140 this evening. That's the route I'm going to go on the master set. I'll be doing the Dodger parallels too, but those won't be a high priority.

On a related note, I'm still trying to decide whether I'm going to do the same with '08 Topps Heritage. I've busted well over two cases the last three years, but I might go the cheap route this year and put the money directly into my relic collection - might not be as fun as busting a case, but almost certainly a lot cheaper.

Geordie

kuhlmann · November 10, 2007 11:36PM

you guys can use my site.. lol its been up a year and i havent even worked on it. but it will take all your pics of cards for no charge. its a script my brother gave me. and if you try it youll love it. once again no charge at all..

mike yes im still in atlanta. house been up for sale for 4 months. no looks

were running out of water here in atlanta!? how do you run out of water when the earth is like more then 70% water?

BunchOBull · November 11, 2007 1:11AM

I just got out of Norcross a month ago. Good luck.

mosaic · November 13, 2007 12:21PM

Don't know what the SPs and gimmicks are, but I like what I pulled from an 8-pack blaster.

Rainbows are really rainbow-ish, the design pops, and I like how the hot prospects subset has a different design from the main set.

A couple cards didn't have signatures. Is that this year's big gimmick?

Mickey Mantle #7 has five variations? I got #1 of 5. I guess there are FIVE cards numbered 7?

Signs of Greatness autograph of Seth Johnston, Padres prospect. ON CARD!

brian26 · November 13, 2007 1:13PM

Correct- The SP cards are the ones WITHOUT signatures. What makes this nice is you can collect the entire base set and essentially have the entire set. The SPs dont include other players.

Blackborder · November 14, 2007 10:50AM

I got a blaster box at target today. This is a really nice set, way better than Turkey Red. I pulled a Whittleman auto. Not a big deal but pretty cool.

Anyone interested in starting trade lists?

Guru · November 14, 2007 12:43PM

Changed the name.

zep33 · November 15, 2007 10:36AM

bought my first box tonight. Nice cards, must get more

pulled:

Bonds Jersey
Cano Bat
Oswalt yellow 1/1 printing plate (missing holigram)
Joe Benson auto
Seth Johnston Auto
2 of the 5 Mantle foil cards
lots of good rookies

looks like the no sig variations carry over to the foil cards as well
got the Iwamura sig and no sig foil cards
Braun no sig foil
Alex Gordon no sig foil
Phil Hughes no sig foil
in fact, only 3 of the foil cards had sigs so maybe that's the SP for those

haven't read anything other than this thread on these so far

brian26 · November 15, 2007 1:04PM

I just got my base set in the mail. This is a really neat design. You really need to go through the set to appreciate it as you at the cards individually. The Andy Pettitte card is awesome. The Soriano card is sensational too because of the background. This is a neat set.

Blackborder · November 16, 2007 2:09PM

What's up with the checklist? 250 cards and I pulled card 251????????

zep33 · November 17, 2007 6:35AM

Yeah Joba is 251

Has anyone seen a complete list of SPs and variations with this set yet?

justmichael · November 17, 2007 7:13AM

The short prints are the no sig variations #181-200 and 226-250.Hope that helps.

zep33 · November 17, 2007 7:24AM

thanks for the SP info

Just noticed the sell sheet shows a different Dice-K than I've seen so far
wonder what that one is

2007 Bowman Heritage sellsheet

kmnorton · November 17, 2007 12:51PM

I'll put up my trade wants/extras in a bit, but wanted to say almost every blaster box has been pretty good. I have purchased 5 blasters and had an auto in each one. 2 of them had blacks and I want to say most had 3 or 4 SPs. Much better strikes than Hobby, but can't get the higher end parallels like the reds and plates (if that's your bag).

justmichael · November 17, 2007 1:20PM

The Arod card is different also.

kmnorton · November 20, 2007 8:33AM

If anybody is doing this set, I have lots of base and prospects and some SPs to swap. I only need 4 cards to finish the base set (212 Butler - 239 Butler - BHP75 Bo***k (silly!) - BHP93 Adams). I'm also going to go for the POG and the autos, so if anybody has some and is wanting to offload them, let me know.

are there any other variations besides the sig / no sig 181-200, 226-250?

<< <i>134 is an SP?

Oops, the black sig is contained within the black jersey. My bad.

Also, is 251 the highest # in the base set?

AND: I pulled a Guerra prospect 05/52. Woo hoo!

justmichael · November 22, 2007 7:28AM

Nice pull on the Guerra.He is gonna be good.

zep33 · November 23, 2007 9:45AM

Found another variation

#7 (1 of 5) doesn't say 1 of 5 on the back - just #7 like the normal cards in the set - hope there's not a different 1 of 5 but I don't see any on ebay right now. Everyone seems to list it as 1 of 5

there is a sig/no sig variation for the #7

I have the sig and here's the no sig on ebay
Mantle #7 No sig

funny this one is at 8.50 but there's a buy it now on another auction for 2.50 LOL

I'm putting these in sheets now so I hope that's it for variations cause shifting a whole set in pages is a pain

zep33 · November 23, 2007 9:48AM

pulled 2 black border prospects out of the same pack today

Ryan Finan 01/52
Joe Ness 41/52

nam812 · November 23, 2007 10:16AM

Picked up a hobby box at a card show today for $50. I thought that was good. Is that about the going rate?

zep33 · November 23, 2007 10:21AM

nam812 · November 23, 2007 10:49AM
