The Official 2011 Topps Heritage Thread: no sticker autos in THIS product!

alnavman · March 25, 2011 10:51AM

Hi Walt, Well, I've opened now a total of nine blasters and one rack pack so I guess getting an auto was pretty good....no tint cards yet and it would seem I should have lucked out with at least one.....al.

Walt · March 25, 2011 12:58PM

Sorry to leave you all hanging, I thought for sure another member here pulled the first Helton SSP, but alas, the green tints are hard to tell.

You can all resume you rippage.

Found a couple hobby boxes and some gravity target packs. Rippage within the hour.

FloodMap20 · March 26, 2011 8:29AM

Helton SSP, or just a blue tint? What say you guys? Got the Helton in the mail a couple of days ago.

FloodMap20 · March 26, 2011 8:37AM

OK, that is a Blue tint Helton. Look at the code in the fine print on the back of the card!

Base cards and SPs - #9911101

NAP - 9911115

Baseball Flashbacks - 9911117

Blue tints - 9911109

Green tints - 9911109

Don't have a Red tint in hand yet.

Walt, did you keep a scan of the back or your Arod SSP?

FloodMap20 · March 26, 2011 8:38AM

What in the Dickens?

Just looked at Sp #497 - Rookie Parade - Code 9911105

FloodMap20 · March 26, 2011 8:40AM

This makes no sense.

Chromes - 9911112

Black Refractors - 9911112

<< Helton SSP, or just a blue tint? What say you guys? Got the Helton in the mail a couple of days ago.

That is the only Helton I have seen like that. Everything else has been portrait. Grats!

My two hobby boxes didnt yeild much but did fill some holes.

Box1

Chrome- 2
CR - 1
BF-2
TN-2
NF-1
JRS-1
Hit: Dan Uggla wood.
Topper: Manny $10, first one I pulled what a piece of junk.

Box 2
Chrome-2
BF-2
NAP-2
NF-2
TN-1
Hit: Ike Davis Jersey
Boxtopper: Yankees stamps
Buy back #121 Billy Hitchock (spelling it wrong because it wont let me post hitchrooster or male body part)

Note that the Billy Hitchock (spelling it wrong because it wont let me post hitchrooster or male body part) has the logo on his cap painted out. All the originals look the same. Just wonder if there is a 121 in heritage with the the same thing going on.

Link to Billy Hitchock card

This makes it much easier to tell if they are tinted or not, thank you!

Unfortunately I still have no tinted versions

TNP777 · March 26, 2011 9:17AM

until someone finds different, I'm convinced any Helton batting pose is simply the intended tint variation, just like Lee Walls in the original '62. Walls had a base portrait and a green tint batting variation. I don't see a scenario that gives Topps any latitude to change it up

having said that, since when did Topps need any latitude

GooshA · March 26, 2011 9:19AM

Anyone want these ? Walmart shopping today, failed and got a blaster, anyone want them ? Maybe there is one of those variations here. Else, trash like the rest.

The first picture has the cards with the smaller numbers, whatever that means.

Walt · March 26, 2011 9:22AM

Is there a Freddy Sanchez SSP?

fur72 · March 26, 2011 9:27AM

<< Anyone want these ? Walmart shopping today, failed and got a blaster, anyone want them ? Maybe there is one of those variations here. Else, trash like the rest. >>

Dont trash them. Looks like you have a red tint in there and some subset cards.

FloodMap20 · March 26, 2011 9:28AM

Not a red tint, but don't trash them!

TNP777 · March 26, 2011 9:47AM

<< Is there a Freddy Sanchez SSP? >>

in what context, Kevin? Nothing comes up in current or completed auctions, although I'm sure you looked there as well. Nothing in the '62 set says anything out of the ordinary for card 188.

GooshA · March 26, 2011 9:53AM

Won't trash. I'm not a Heritage collector, if you want the lot, all your's. Had seen this thread and, wammo at walmart, bought a box. The addiction. Just pm an address, po box, neighbors house whatever and will send the lot out.

It was funny, my wife said at walmart... 20 bucks ??? She just doesn't know the coolness of this stuff.

brian26 · March 26, 2011 9:59AM

I'll take them if nobody has asked yet. Really, I'd just like the Buehrle card and any other Sox cards you have.

ChasHawk · March 26, 2011 10:44AM

still have not seen one...single...Nicholson

getting frustrated...

kmnorton · March 26, 2011 11:25AM

Somebody might want to jump on this.

Probably can get for $175

DavidPuddy · March 26, 2011 1:30PM

<< Somebody might want to jump on this.

Seems like a good price.

Been emailing back and forth with KO, he mentioned a Sanchez SSP.

pdub1819 · March 26, 2011 11:29PM

I'm sorry, but what does SSP mean?

brendanb438 · March 26, 2011 11:33PM

<< I'm sorry, but what does SSP mean? >>

super short penis

ChasHawk · March 27, 2011 1:02AM

<< I'm sorry, but what does SSP mean? >>

super short print, and SP means short print

funny thing is, when these original sets came out it meant single print,
because some years the high number series was only printed once.

Walt · March 27, 2011 1:56AM

The SSP's are where the real money is with heritage. They even outsell autographs for greats like Banks and Musial. If you ask me I'd rather have the ink.

Walt

pdub1819 · March 27, 2011 2:03AM

Is there a visual way to know the difference between SP and SSP other then looking at the #'s on the back?

TNP777 · March 27, 2011 2:41AM

<< Is there a visual way to know the difference between SP and SSP other then looking at the #'s on the back? >>

4th post down

Walt · March 27, 2011 3:05AM

I really love the idea of the SSP's kinda being hard to spot...makes it sort of an inside game for us real heritage collectors. If you want to know about the SSP's
you have to know your history.....or you can use Geordie's cheat sheet.

We are here to serve less fortunate heritage collectors too!

TNP777 · March 27, 2011 3:46AM

Kevin, did you see the guy on the FCB thread that claims he has two different poses of #400 Teixeira?

psu92 · March 27, 2011 4:20AM

Are the Jackie Robinson cards considered SSPs? Do they have the same sequence (135-144) as the Ruth cards? Also, has Topps confirmed any of the variations yet?

Thanks.

I don't think so

linky?

FloodMap20 · March 27, 2011 4:52AM

I'm just finishing up the checklist (will be done tonight I promise!) and I was just about to post the Teixeira. There are 2 base cards, #110 (batting stance) and #400 (swinging.) I don't believe either is an SP.

FloodMap20 · March 27, 2011 4:57AM

The White Sox card #113 is a complete pain. I don't remember how to work a color wheel but it would probably come in handy here.

From what I can tell:

The base card (no tint) has a red background

The Green tint has a yellow background.

The Blue tint has a purple background.

There SHOULD be a red tint variation of this card as well but what would it look like?

FloodMap20 · March 27, 2011 5:08AM

The #139 Joba is a mess too. I see a green tint, a blue tint, and a red tint. Is there a regular version of this card as well that is not tinted?

What is a gravity box?

fur72 · March 27, 2011 7:27AM

<< What is a gravity box? >>

They are boxes you see at target and walmart that are a display case thd there is a place to grab them at the bottom. Hence they drop from the top to the bottom.

FloodMap20 · March 27, 2011 7:37AM

Baseball Bucks make sense now. There are 96 different player on the checklist. Each team has 3 representatives, one each for $10, $5, and $1.

Except for the Giants and Rangers, who have each have six, two in each denomination.

FloodMap20 · March 27, 2011 9:51AM

Theory:

There is no Joba SSP.

There are no red, blue, or green tints of Joba's card #159, which should have variations of all. There are red, green, and blue tints of Joba's card #139. The red, blue, and green tint #139 cards just replace card #159 in those sets. Does anyone agree with me?

2011 HERITAGE EXCEL SPREADSHEET 1.0 IS FINALLY UP!!!

www.freewebs.com/heritagetrade

You should see a link to download it in the first paragraph there. If you already have one, you can just copy and paste the 2011 tab into your existing spreadsheet.

Wanted to get this done earlier but I am glad it's finally done. This year's took me longer than any other year that I can remember, which means there is just a ton of depth this year in this set. The only think that I know of that I still lack are the boxtopper panels. I know griffins collects those but I'm not sure if anyone else does. I will try to add them in the next week or so. I also want to go back and update the differences between the tints - ie which blue tints are missing the Heritage logo, etc. I'm still not 100% sure I have the SSP's right, and something new may come up any day.

If you can think of anything I need to add, please let me know here or via PM. Now that the work is out of the way, I'm looking forward to racking out a trade or two this week!

Thanks again for all the kind words from everyone. This has been a great escape for me this week and I hope it helps you all enjoy your collections a little more.

TNP777 · March 27, 2011 11:42AM

thanks for the hard work on the spreadsheet, Jeff - much appreciated!
