2015 Topps Heritage Minor League Baseball Cards

I have a Kyle schwarber 1/1 printing plate. Is there a checklist of the printing plates for the 2015 topps heritage minor league cards

Kolek # 317 in my box….error

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. The Nomar Mazara road to the show #15 is an error card. Mazara is a left handed batter. The player on the card is Hanser Alberto. I’m a huge Ranger fan and noticed it immediately.

As a collector, I really enjoy this set. It is fun. I disagree witha few posters above regarding players lower than AAA. I enjoy seeing faces that you do not know, wearing uniforms you rarely, if ever, actually see. I Even if said players have zero chance of ever putting on a major league uniform. Mostly, because the vast majority of Americans do not live too close to an MLB team, and most people who live near a professional team, is likely to be a minor league team of some sort. My hometown, for instance, is a Short-A team; Williamsport Crosscutters. I like the fact that there is a chance that my hometown team could be represented in a major product with a nationwide distribution.

Having said that, I also like how the writer of the review above is fair, regarding “value.” Yeah, you probably cannot recoup very much of the cost of purchasing a box of these by flipping. This is a collectors’ set, and the low price point / low value reflects this. However, the fact that the value does not match up with the price point should reflect a moderate hit in the rating.

Just busted a box since I haven’t tried it yet this year, and it was rather meh.

I did find 4 high number SP’s including Josh Bell, and I PC him so that’s cool at least. Got Corey Seager, Matt Olson, and Nomar Mazara too. I got 3 of the Blue border cards, and one Orange of Nick Gordon #01/25 that is pretty sweet. Other than that a lot of bleh.

My two autos were Jacob Dahlstrand (Who?) and Trey Supak (hey another Pirate not horrible #2 rd pick from 2014)

Overall I don’t think I’ll buy any more but it’s a decent product. I usually spend a good bit every year on Pro Debut I personally like those minor league cards and I hunt the autos and SPs of guys I collect but the values of Minor League cards is still mostly in the gutter I wish it wasn’t like that I personally like Team USA and minor league cards of the superstars before they broke out.

Love the concept and design of Heritage cards. This is the most fun set of each year I think. One box very nearly completed the base set. I do think they need better autos. No offense but 3rd-4th tier players such as middle relievers like Burawa and Dahlstrand are not appealing to collectors. But I guess at this price point, it’s hard to complain.

Some fun inserts and parallels to search for. Always keep these for at least a few months till Topps releases the full checklist. They always have some unknown parallels that you need to go back and search for months later. This time, it’s the bubblegum backs. How can you not love that?

Design and concept: 5 (love throwback)
Checklist: 3 (good base list, some lousy autos)
Value: 4 (cheap price so you don’t have to pull a 1 of 1 to be happy)
Fun Factor: 5 (always the most creative set of the year)

Pulls:
Black border Tyler Naquin (woohoo!), CCR-aaron judge, 2 bubblegum backs, 4 high numbers, 3 blue borders, 2 autos (dahlstrand, burawa).

Strange I also came up 9 cards short of a complete non s/p (1-200) set. I’ll check with some other friends to see if this is a norm. All in all it’s not a bad product.

Opened a box today. Nice cards, solid and sturdy. Came 9 cards short of a complete set (1-200). The box contained four short prints (Alfaro, Edwards, Sano, Stewart). There were three blue parallels, and one orange parallel (25/25 Refsnyder).

Only disappointment was the autographs. Grant Hockin and Harold Ramorez, of the AZL Indians and West Virginia Power, respectively.

Glad to see a good number of Tennessee Smokies and myrtle Beach Pelicans to represent the Cubs organization. But yeah, the lack of AAA guys is somewhat maddening.

Box was $58 at our LCS. may buy another to try and finish the set, stock up on prospects and hope for a couple better autos.

One thing I really dig are the leader cards toward the end of the base set. Good excuse for a couple cards that feature Kris Bryant.

Always love Heritage Minor! I found that 217 Tyler Kolek is numbered 317. No idea if this an error but I’ve yet to see another 217 surface.

Do you know if there will be base card variations in this years set?

This set comes out on Friday, and while I haven’t seen the cards, I have reviewed the checklist.

I bought baseball cards as long ago as 1961, but I lost interest in baseball after the World Series was cancelled in 1994 due to the strike.

In 2011, I saw a pack of cards in Target that read “Today’s stars in the 1962 design.” I bought one pack. I was hooked again!

With this minor league set, Topps makes two huge errors, in my opinion.

1. Too many Class A players, and far too few Triple-A players. I’d much rather get cards of players I may have heard of.

2. Too many players featured in previous Heritage Minor League sets. A few may be appropriate, players with huge potential such as Corey Seager with the Dodgers organization. But I’d rather see guys pulled from the 40 man roster, because these guys have a better chance of making the majors some day.

Overall, however, I love Topps Heritage!

Glad to see Rafael Devers with an auto in there! Two autos per box, nice!

When will we get a checklist for this product?

Awesome design , value and resale value of individual cards….. Can sell individual cards for more than price of box!

I love the design and the players within the product

Sticker autos make this pointless.
