2017 Topps Heritage High Number Baseball Cards

Exactly what I needed for info. Thanks, Trey. I indeed always go by the back codes, so looks like I’m gonna have to go digging after I feel confident in what’s 100% sure a “bright yellow!” :-)

Opened several boxes last year, but was unaware and unable to find ANY info on these “bright yellow backs.” Am I missing where the guide for these is? If there is none, something should be explained on how to identify them. Are they serial #/25? Do they have the usual different final code digits on the back? Are there versions of every player in the set? How do I distinguish one from a regular card in the set that may just happen to be slightly brighter? And anyone know of the odds, either???

Four stars because of poor card collation. I just opened a full case of this product and the amount of duplicates per box is unacceptable. Besides that Heritage is my favorite Topps product these days as the base sets have become so boring. I miss the days of looking forward to the new card design. The 2018 set, if you just do a quick take is not much different from 2017.

Anyways, I’ve always liked the ’68 design. The first vintage cards I had as a kid back in the mid 80’s. This year is much better than last year. The blurry photos from last year really took away from the great ’67 design. The actual ’67 cards are even more clear. I did pull a Bellinger auto, flip stock and variations. I like the throwback uni variants. The bright backs are almost impossible to decipher from the base as the yellow is much brighter compared to low numbers. My first pack I actually thought I got a very hot pack as it appeared every card was a bright back. I am thinking this was intentional as the ’68 set is the same way but not every card. The blue border variant cards are some of the best looking variants in 2017. It works well with the burlap design. I have found several other variant cards no checklist yet has any listed. I am going to compile a list with pics for verification to the moderator. I have it started but it is not complete. Overall, this is as mentioned my favorite product from Topps these days. I am old school, I am tired of all the gloss and foil. Make a product kids can afford, get kids back to collecting again. Topps, if they had any business sense would keep their base product along the lines of how how Heritage is done, card stock wise. Keep variants and inserts. Issue Topps Chrome in lower numbers for the collectors looking to make profit, keep Bowman brands the same as they are and you have a great line up of cards. Bring back tamper proof packs, lose the thick cards so the losers who pack search can no longer measure packs or weigh they. Make it kid friendly again and use the Chrome for the upper end collectors or guys trying to make a living selling this stuff. Even though I think Optic Football is great, get a football card product again. The amount of sets made for baseball is just overkill. The autograph sets are getting boring. The relic cards have been done into the ground. That is one insert that needs to go. No more bat or uni relics. Autos, color, photo variants, design and error variants are plenty. That’s my take, Topps only needs Base, Chrome, Heritage & Archives, keep Bowman the way if is and you’ve got a great line-up. Do it before it’s all digital as I fear that is where it’s heading.

Love the design, variety of inserts and quality of autographs.
In two boxes got a Luke Weaver real one auto, Jharel Cotton16/68 red ink auto and a 1968 baseball flashback Jim Palmer relic auto 1/1 that I don’t find listed in your checklist? Also had other nice inserts as well.

I love this product. It’s simple yet exciting!

I just pulled a Johnny Bench 68 RC auto from a $9.99 pack at Target

Love it and lucky too. My son talked me into buying a booster box at target. Couldn’t believe when he turned to me and asked…”dad, is this one good?”, holding in his hand a red auto (hand #/25) carl Yastrzemski. Probably the most beautiful card (and way to get it) I’ve ever seen. Nice job topps.

I love this product. My only question is can any of the current day players WRITE THERE NAME. I have a number of auto’s. but no one can read them. This to me is sad,if you get and older player auto. they write their name. Is it too much to ask Topps to have these cards signed with something that that can be read ??

Opened 3 boxes and as usual with this set all the chrome, refractors and short prints were duplicates. This product packaging needs a major overhaul. Shame on Topps

Love this set, look forward to it each year. Opened some blaster boxes and pulled card 640 Miguel Gonzalez in a throw back uni. Needs added to your list of variations.

I picked up a bunch of blasters and hangers from Target and from one of the hangers I pulled a “Baseball Flashbacks” auto/relic card of Rollie Fingers. These cards were in the 1st series of Heritage but this is not one of the ones listed. Is this something leftover that Topps decided to add to this set?

I am a fan of the heritage design every year. Love the old school feel.

Anyone notice that the back of the 700+ cads are a lighter yellow than the standard base? This is going to make it tough when sorting through looking for the “Bright Yellow” backs. Mistake or Intentional???

Opened a hobby box last night – great looking cards and some cool inserts.

Tons of variations so be on the lookout for that, sadly I didn’t pull any.

Trey – Not sure if this is your cup of tea but the cards are thick, do you recommend using a standard top loader or go with one that’s slightly thicker (55pt)?

Hi. I just bought a retail blaster from target and every pack in the box had a purple chrome refractor. There is nothing listed on the box about purple chrome refractors being in the box? Would these be considered hot boxes? The box also produced a regular chrome and regular refractor as well.

Add some vets to checklist.

Do an all star variation

Belly and happ is cool

But this set needs a kick

56 autos come on. Water down your other products

This is heritage. Don’t water this down

Always one of the most popular sets of the year

No 1968 Tigers, autograph or otherwise, won’t have to waste any money on this set. They could have at least done a dual auto card of say Willie Horton and Mickey Lolich, World Series WINNERS. They did a dual auto card card of the Cardinals Lou Brock and Steve Carlton who lost the Series. I guess Topps just doesn’t like certain teams and their fans, eh?

Gee maybe we will get ONE more Tiger autograph from 1968, eh? Some of them besides Al Kaline are still alive…
