2013 Topps Heritage High Number Baseball Cards

One IMPORTANT note to whoever reads this in time: The time to buy these is NOW. The redemptions of the best RC’s in this set are due to expire November 30 of 2016.

After that, the value of the sealed sets will drop severely.

Bought 37 of these recently and received zero redemptions. Apparently I got a bad batch as far as how Topps must’ve packaged the production run. Best autos I got were of Zack Wheeler and Shelby Miller. Otherwise it was basically nothing but Didis, Maurers, and Casey Kellys. Yuck!

Luckily, the cards were for the most part in sharp, centered shape with a good amount of Yasiel’s sure to get PSA 10’s. So that takes some of the sting out of it.

Yeah, I stick almost exclusively to redemptions when buying cards on Ebay. Most of the time, you don’t get a good enough look at the card (most don’t even show reverse sides), and I’ve been disappointed so many times that I’m through. I want a card that has a potential for a 10, plus I have patience so it works to my perfect advantage to go with redemptions. I’ve had a vast majority of Topps’ redemptions come back as PSA 10’s. It is questionable, though when they put redemptions in box sets, especially when they’re the best ones, minus Machado. These sets have great resale value opened and resold, though :-) Which is why-more than anything else in the hobby right now-I wish Topps and Upper Deck would follow Panini’s lead and do away with expirations!!

Nice set, with a good amount of guys who have turned out to be stud RC’s or potential stud RC’s. And the best ones are redemptions, which is GREAT. I have no clue why people complain about redemptions. With Topps, you’ve got the greatest chance to get a graded 10 in the mail. At least they seem to use care when placing the cards in sleeves and sending them out. They need to teach a course in card redemption placement with certain companies, aka Panini.
1. Put the card in gently, making sure you do not damage the edges or corners.
2. A card that is in good shape vs. a card that has a dinged edge is worth lots more money.
3. Money is essential for food, shelter, and all basic necessities in life. It is good.

End of course.

I loved the ’64 card design as a kid and it’s still my favorite year for Topps. The 2013 Topps Heritage Yasiel Puig card is hands down the best looking Puig card on the market (in my opinion:). Classic.

I got justin Smoak #
269 & willie Stargell #cmt 139

I love the 1964 look

im pretty convinced that some of the auto’s simply don’t exist. they gotta sell the stuff somehow..

This set is “CRAP”. Topps will make thousands of sets. The good Auot’s. will all be redems. which you as usual may “NEVER” recieve.
At there present sub-set and redem. rate Topps may well put themselves out of business.
Topps go back to the basics!!

Can you confirm from Topps as to whether some of the autos from this set are short printed or were simply never made at all? Because while I’ve seen multiple autos of certain players pop up (such as Adeiny Hechavarria, Darin Ruff, and Marcell Ozuna), I have yet to see a single one from a few others show up like Yasiel Puig or Oswaldo Arcia (the guy I’m chasing right now) autos. Thanks.

box just got here. first ten cards have a badly dinged corner and the cutting overall seems very shotty. smh. anyone else experience this?

there still available from topps for 100 but hobby box best price is 150 on ebay? did anyone ever figure out the print run?

I guess I should have read this before I ordered my box :(

I kind of want this set (I got last year’s), but relatively speaking, there are a great deal of red flags going on here (for me) and it’s making me VERY tenative regarding purchasing one.

1.) Why no mention of the print run? If it’s “Limited”, how limited? 1000 limited or 50,000 limited?

2.) Redemptions? In a box set? Seriously?

2.1) Redemptions suck, in general, but we accept them as part of the “pack experience” throwing them into something that is OFTEN sold “sealed” and OFTEN “more valuable” when sealed, cheapens the entire experience. (I saved this set for 30 years so when you open it, maybe you’ll get the best rookie of my generation’s really rare autograph. YIPPEEE!!!! WE GOT A REDEMPTION INSTEAD!!!! – said nobody in history)

2.2) They’re literally the best cards in the entire set. So if you’re hoping to pull one, you have to pay $100 to get the set, open it, and find out if you have to wait 6 months to 1 1/2 years to actually have that card in hand.

3.) 2013 Topps Mini Baseball – I bought in on this.

In 2012, it was hard to get, sold out in what seemed like minutes, and I didn’t get any. I wanted some and by the time I got around to trying, it was too late.

So come 2013, I’m waiting with baited breath for the email, get the email and rush to order a box. I get it in the mail and giddily open up the box to receive roughly $20 worth of cards in the box, with literally 0 stars in the base cards and a Mike Mussina patch card, which wouldn’t be so bad IF the boxes of mini baseball sold out this year (like last year). Supply and demand. If no supply left, demand increases.

Currently, you can still purchase boxes of 2013 Topps Mini Baseball online months later (and I don’t see any rush for people to run out and buy boxes right now)…

Several of the big name autos in this product are redemptions, including Puig, Fernandez, Cole, & Ryu. I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned in the article. Especially since this could be a blessing given the poor shape many of last year’s auto were found inside the sets.

ill believe machado signed for this set when topps fills the 7 redemptions I have for him from Tier One, Chrome, and Bowman Platinum & Inception.
