2008 Topps Heritage BUYBACK set - 1959 Topps

Posts: 606 ✭✭✭
Hello again, I am still on my quest for the 2008 Topps Heritage 1959 Topps Buyback set. For a while I was making good progress, however things have slowed considerably lately.
My question is how did Topps "buy-back" these 1959 cards? I have been watching the boards and all auctions for several months now and I have only seen 1 #10 Mantle and 1 #50 Mays and no other big stars at all. I have only 1 of the high numbers (507-572) and have not seen any others. I am begining to wonder if this set is even possible. If Topps did not purchase complete sets but rather just large lots, then there may not even be a complete set available even if you had every card they bought back.
Any thoughts or does anybody have any insight to how Topps bought these cards back for insertion into the Heritage packs?
Oh, and by the way, this is my Want List:
1, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 52, 53, 54, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71 ,72, 73, 75, 76, 79, 80, 86, 87, 88, 90, 94, 96, 98, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 107, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 121, 125, 127, 128, 133, 134, 135, 144, 146, 147, 150, 153, 155, 156, 161, 163, 166, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 175, 176, 178, 180, 181, 182, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 193, 195, 196, 198, 200, 202, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 217, 218, 220, 222, 223, 224, 226, 228, 229, 231, 233, 234, 236, 237, 238, 240, 248, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 260, 262, 263, 266, 267, 268, 270, 271, 272, 273, 278, 279, 280, 286, 287, 290, 292, 295, 300, 304, 305, 308, 310, 312, 316, 317, 321, 324, 326, 328, 329, 334, 335, 336, 338, 339, 340, 341, 342, 343, 345, 346, 348, 350, 352, 353, 355, 358, 360, 362, 367, 369, 370 ,371, 372, 373, 379, 380, 382, 383, 386, 387 ,388, 392, 394, 395, 397, 401, 409, 412, 415, 419, 420, 425, 426, 427, 429, 430, 432, 433, 435, 436, 437, 439, 441, 442, 443, 448, 450, 451, 453, 454, 455, 457, 461, 463, 464, 467, 468, 469, 470, 476, 478, 480, 481, 491, 492, 493, 495, 497, 499, 503, 505, 507, 508, 509, 510, 511, 512, 513, 514, 515, 516, 517, 518, 519, 520, 521, 522, 523, 524, 525, 527, 528, 529, 530, 531, 532, 533, 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, 539, 540, 541, 542, 543, 544, 545, 546, 547, 548, 549, 550, 551, 552, 553, 554, 555, 556, 557, 558, 559, 560 ,561, 562, 563, 564, 565, 566, 567, 568, 569, 570, 571, 572

of all the stars, and while he never said multiple copies of each card, I only assumed that was the case. We now know better, heritage
is WIDELY opened and there is no reason why we wouldn't see high number cards on ebay if they did in fact exist. Still a nice set to
chase!
Here is what I have. Looking for autos and black refractors first and then other stuff.

I also noticed that a few of these have much lighter backs than the othes....is this a variation?
