The Official 2008 TOPPS HERITAGE Thread

Did anyone create a binder insert for '08 Heritage they'd be willing to share with me? I appreciate any help.

2009 Im going full boar! I always grab a hobby box or 2 but I am thinking one hobby and one retail. Would that get me a ful set? Or not even close.

I purchased what is basically 1/2 a case last year (3 hobby boxes and 10 or so blasters), my first dabble into Heritage...still haven't completed my set.

MY NEEDS:
I have completed my base/sp/inserts master set, as well as the seat relic cards and almost all of the clubhouse collection cards.

I need the following clubhouse collection cards:
Bob Gibson, Luis Aparicio, Yogi Berra

I also need all of the Real One Autos EXCEPT the following:
Bob Martyn, Bill Renna, Bob Smith, Jim Bolger, Joba Chamberlain, J.W. Porter, Mike baxes, Phil Clark, Scott Podsednik, Ted Kazanski, Tom Qualters

I will trade, or pay via-paypal. Please contact me if you have any of these cards.

Highlights of my 2008 Topps Heritage Master Collection:

<< <i>For anyone working on the Clubhouse Collection relic cards, are there are certain group of cards that are really tough to find? I'm having a hard time finishing the set. >>

These:

Group A



Group B

<< <i>Brian - not even close. If you search the closed auctions, there were two /25 auto'd Mazeroskis that went for $99 BIN. If the seller is hoping for more than that, he's dreaming. I'd make him a $50 offer and see what happens. I think that's about what I paid for mine at the height of Heritage season. >>



I forget exactly what I paid for mine but it was right about $50. I think that's a fair price.

My Minoso sold on eBay a couple of months ago for a whole $35...I wouldn't call it rare.

Incorrect, there were only about 1 million hobby packs (based on 1:98,000 of the ten (10) 1/1 cut signature cards). With there being 5 relics with a 1:7400 packs, you're looking at a total spread of 135 group a/b relic cards. Not sure of retail pack production, but i doubt 14 million.

I am searching for a couple of high # Heritage refractors and have listed all of the dupes that I have to trade.

All my dupes are well centered (at least 60/40 or better all around) and I'd be interested in similarly centered cards.

My Want List:
206 Duchscherer
220 Longoria

My Dupes List:
201 Saunders
221 Kuroda
222 G. Smith
225 Pelfrey
236 Perkins (on hold)
244 Cantu
251 Gomes
253 Hinske
273 T.Jones
277 Lamb (on hold)
292 M.Diaz

I'd trade 1:1 for the Duchscherer card and would offer 4 of my dupes for the Longoria.

If you don't have anything to trade, I'm also selling my dupes @ $3 + SASE w/toploader and adequate return postage.

Send me a PM if you're interested in a trade or purchase.

thanks,
Kirk

<< <i>Chris - colored seats can be found for lots of the Grandstand cards if you're patient. Your "5" looks pretty mangled, though - is it possible it's an altered card? >>



It could be an altered card, but I doubt it just because I got as a throw in with a lot of Heritage short prints that I bought on ebay. This card was not listed in the auction and I had no idea the seller would be sending it to me. It was a total bonus that they threw in. I think I paid about $2 per SP, so it's not like it was a bonus because the bidding went real high. Don't see any other suspicious spots on the card. Is there a premium on dark wood relic cards?

Update from the 2008 Heritage series- I sent in the 24 wrappers, receipt and copy of the barcode from the box because I did not get a relic or an autograph.

Topps was pretty quick on the response, I mailed it on January 31st, and the letter back was dated February 6th.

What did I get-

A Miguel Tejada relic.

Now I wonder if that was what suppose to be in that box (do they track it by the barcode (why else would they require all that?))

Or was that just a stack of leftover relics they had on hand to fill these requests. (??)

Has anyone had luck sending in the wrappers?

Here's looking forward to 2009 !!
