Box 5: Ad panel:1 buyback:1 not opened FB relic: Mantle ! chrome: 4 refractor:1 TN:2 NAP:1 BF:2 NF:2 SP:6 I seem to be getting shorted on the shortprints and making up for it on the chromes, but 3-4 of these are dupe chromes.
Perhaps more cases are being opened this year as compared to last, but the black refractors are flying out of boxes this year. Nice job!
After 9 and a half boxes I'm only 14 SP's away from a master set and only 7 inserts away with plenty of doubles. Good news for the collector who can't buy cases of this stuff. My chrome stack is getting ready for a trade or two. What is the news on early black chrome sales..list them early or wait and see?
Someone give us an ebay report, I have to go to work soon. I should have more info on the panel order/quantity tonight.
<< <i>No big name buybacks have appeared yet on ebay that I've seen. I may keep mine unopened when/if I recieve product! Hopefully they will be sent out tomorrow. >>
Are the buybacks in their own pack by themselves? How do you know the pack has a buyback?
Tim (NewHeritageCollector) the buybacks are in their own pack, doesn't look anything like a regular Heritage pack. Both those and the panels (which are packaged the same) will be on top of the box.
My 6th box: Ad panel:1 buyback:1 CC relics:2 chromes:3 refractor:0 TN:1 NAP:1 BF:2 NF:2 SP:9
So this box has 1/2 again as many sp's as the last 2 plus 2 relics but less chrome & refractors. I guess it all evens up.
Goose, ummmmm is WTH where or what? There are 110 of those I think by Geordie's count. They're on the bottom of the pack and sometimes a couple there, sometimes none.
There are a crapload , about 1/8 of my cards from 6 boxes are blackbacks.

Depends on the black chrome Kevin I would guess?
Remember a few years back when the Pettite card was the first of him not in a Yankee uni and someone paid 20 bucks for it on ebay? It was early on.
I've seen some really cool stuff.
I like the Mantle relic that Nick pulled!
Good luck guys - I'm slow in collating - so I won't know what I need.
The quality seems better this year than last - my criticism? Not in love with some of the photos - could be alot more crisp.

About halfway through my second box I realized that one pack had only 7 cards (and no relic or anything else). Almost every other pack from then on also had 7 cards. ?? Anybody else seeing this?
Yes, that was me with 2 out of 4 boxes from lrcards case having 7 cards per pack in every pack in the box. Ted, check my link for an excel sheet with all the checklists and sp's on separate sheets for all years heritage 2001-2007.
I gave in to temption and picked up a box for $65 at the local card store, I think I did better than ok:
ad panel - JJ hardy/Alex rios/Johan S as a twin buyback - #221 Bob Bowman Phillies (will post picture in buyback thread) 3 chrome - 7, 57 and 90 1 chrome parallel #19 1 black chrome - R. Ankiel Bill Maz. FB seat relic 2 NAP, 2 FB, 2 News FB and 1 then/now
Looking over the 1959 Topps master set I noticed the following card numbers have variations:
#40 - Spahn - 3 different versions of his year of birth #316 - RALPH LUMENTI - with and without option statement #321 - BOB GIALLOMBARDO - with and without option statement #322 - HARRY HANEBRINK - with and without trade statement #336 - BILLY LOESWITH - with and without trade statement #362 - DOLAN NICHOLS - with and without option statement
These might be numbers that should be looked at in this years set. I would, but my case doesn't come until Monday

So far I love what I seeing from the set (BBs, RCs, team cards, etc). There are some amusingly ugly cards (Glavine ?), but overall it's solid.
