2014 Topps Heritage Baseball Cards

Haven’t looked at the product in person, but that black McCutchen Chrome card looks FANTASTIC on screen.

This product is not a 1 star because it did bring back a lot of nostalgia. After opening a blaster box and some jumbo packs, I was reminded of the poor quality cardboard, off center cut cards, and terrible picture quality of Topps of the late 70’s and 80’s when I was young. These reasons are why I was loyal to Donruss, Fleer and later Upper Deck when the free market was allowed to work in the 80’s. These cards are definitely from the past; and that isn’t a good thing given the ridiculously high price of these cards.
If they were half the price, it would be a different story.

1) why wasn’t the purple refractors noted on the wax pack?
2) i also purchased a box with a purple in each wax pack.

BIG DROP OFF from last years product. in 2013 you could pick blindly at a pack of cards and get either an auto/relic/Mini/ or Bazooka. I went through 8 GIANT gravity boxes and over 200 rack packs and FOUND ZERO autographs or minis or bakookas. Topps can’t expect us to throw money away at worthless commons. But since the 2013 was so fantastic they were hoping to fool us into thinking 2014 would be as comparable but it wasn’t.

4 stars just pulled a triple relic card 03/25 CLEMENTE and a few other great cards>>UP FOR SALE ON EBAY thanks

Let’s put it this way, Topps screws collectors that buy blasters. Some collectors do not have the luxury of a local card shop so they resort to Walmart and such. Online is an option but what supplier is trust worthy?
Bought roughly a 5000 ct of Heritage. Not ONE auto? This is typical of most Topps products. Heritage and Chrome are my BB focus for most years. Probably switching to eBay to just buy my sets.

After buying 10 boxes, got 2 auto’s, the 10th box was a hot box, with 24 purple refractors, pulled an auto of Chipper Jones, best hit ever from a box of this stuff.

I enjoyed the card design and am pleased they made photo variations a little easier to get but how common the inserts are per pack and their lack of diversity has created stacks of duplicates.

Watched the SSP Jeter go for $555 if they are NOT numbered how many of them have been produced?? . here is the link for the Jeter.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251490220964?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Finally picked up 5 blasters at target. 1 refractor, 1 chrome, 1 relic, 5 red boarder, 3 then & now, 1 mini & 0 high number.

So after being almost a month late to retail, the lack of high number cards turned me off this year. Only thing that pulled me in was the $5 coupons but hopefully I don’t make the same mistake next year.

like the set but i recived 4 cards that were poorly cut part of the names were cut off and two of the cards were high numbers would topps replace these cards with with good ones

Yes indeed….$5 off coupon for a blaster box from Target and the results are RIDIC!!!!
Chrome Base Variation ‘Purple Refractors’ (THAT’S RIGHT – picked up the heaviest box LOL; and the results came with that small theory – 1 in every pack btw)
49 Xander Bogaerts / Jonathan Schoop
148 Freddie Freeman
170 Justin Upton
330 CC Sabathia
400 Bryce Harper
425 Yoenis Cespedes
436 Nelson Cruz
445 Pablo Sandoval

Guess the packaging crew slipped a bit – AND I THANK YOU!
The other nice pulls out of that same box are the following:
500 Miguel Cabrera – RED BORDER Parallel
NAP-HR Hyun-Jin Ryu – NEW AGE PERFORMER
BF-AK Al Kaline – BASEBALL FLASHBACKS
TAN-MC Juan Marichal / Bartolo Colon – THEN & NOW insert

LOVE THIS VINTAGE FEEL….bringing back fond memories of when my younger brother (Nathan: RIP) and I collected together *swapping baseball cards and the gum out of the packs!

Yay, Target finally got some Blaster boxes. Was able to use my $5 off coupons. Got a Chrome Buster Posey, and two red parallels in 2 boxes, but that’s about it. Still will be opening a hobby box soon

Have torn through 4 cases already. Attended a midnight release at the local card shop. Pulled a gold Bryce Harper. The product is great. Love the thick card stock and the the vintage feel of the cards. Wish the autos fell a little better. Averaged about 3 per 12 box case.

Heritage is just one of the last great semi-simple sets to build at many levels like, base, base+SP’s+SubSets and few other good harder to build goodies like the Mini’s. Good stuff. They could put a little more effort into increasing quantity of quality on card Auto’s. Good Stuff.

Love this years Heritage! I need to get me another box somehow! I got one hobby and picked up a blaster at Walmart. Nothing to mention in Walmarts blastet BUT in the hobby box I pulled a rare sp black refractor of DEREK JETER! Numbered to only 65! Thanks Ryan for the great work you guys do here for the collector with all the checklists and variations list’s! You guys rule! That;s why your my #1 source to go to daily!

I read the March 16 comment of Mark.
“WOW”,you really nailed it. I wonder if TOPPS should change their name to
Titanic the way they are going.

I really wish they didn’t stamp the buybacks. whats the point?

well, I found an empty box at one of my local targets….nothing at the walmarts

Still no Heritage at my local Targets. Is Target not carrying them this year? One of our Walmarts had a few jumbo packs, but that’s it. What’s up in Western NY?

I have a Chris Carter card #39. The pennanat reads “Houston” in stead of “Astros”. Does anyone know if this is an error or not?

I always get excited about Heritage, then I open a box. I love the looks of the cards. I even love the non baseball related history lessons. I find it too distracting to try and keep up with the many short print variations.

I too opened a hobby box that did not contain a “hit”. This shouldn’t happen when they advertise on the box, contains one autograph or relic card.

Pretty good product. Opened one box that contained neither an autograph, nor a relic. How often does that happen? Also, in terms of variation, why is the Adam Eaton card (#302) not a variation when he is wearing an 80’s White Sox uniform, when Chris Sale (#471) is wearing the same era uniform?

great discription of cards just got them today

Does this mean I will finally get my redemptions from the last two years ? The concept of heritage is a good one but topps has so little credibility anymore. Still waiting for touched by greatness, unopened 1964 pack , Axl rose and just about anything else that was featuredin your magazine as a highlight. It’s too bad the historical nature of this product each year should be a time to celebrate collecting, not renew frustrations with how pathetic it has become .

Rush Limbaugh doesnt fit on a baseball card. I suppose they could have made him a case-loader autograph.

My favorite vintage Topps design. Can’t wait for the Minor League version to drop.

Jimmy Carter? Keith Olberman?! Can we find anymore uber liberal people to sign “Baseball cards”? Totally un-necessary.

I love Heritage but agree I wish they had fewer parallels and better mimic of the 1965 set.

Does anyone know what the 1965 Giants box toppers are? Is there any provenance from 1965 or are these just supposed to be box toppers that use the “embossed” look?

I LIKED THE FIRST HERITAGE PRODUCTS. THE PROBLEM NOW IS THIS IS NOT A PARALELL OF 1965 SET.
THERE ARE NO TEAM CARDS FOR ONE THING. I DON’T KNOW WHY TOPPS HAS TO HAVE SO MANY VARIATIONS. I CAN LIVE WITH THE SHORT PRINTS BUT IT SEEMS TO ME TOPPS HAS GONE WAY OVER BOARD WITH THE REST OF WHAT AT ONE TIME WAS A FUN SET TO BUILD. SADLY HERITAGE HAS WENT FROM A 5 STAR TO A 2 STAR PRODUCT TRY TO MIMIC THE 1966 TOPPS HERITAGE IN THERE 2015 SET.

4- This design by Topps was the first I got a Mickey Mantle card with my boy friend Greg Boatwright.

Would have rated 3 1/2. Love product. Hate reprint of same card with a red,blue yellow,black or purple border. Why not different card for chrome set also. Especially the chrome cards.

Can’t wait for this.. And releases on my birthday! Couldn’t be better.

i have my calendar marked for march 5th. i can’t wait to build this set.

Will never buy a short printed set! This was never fun in the old days. I can’t believe people buy this product!

ooo that’s a price for a case.. DOH!

you might have stuffed an extra zero in there?

looking forward to this product. will this be the pricepoint when it is released?

Can’t wait for this set to debut!
