2018 Topps Heritage High Number Baseball Cards

Are the base card variations not in the spreadsheet or am I missing them?

I love the look and feel of these cards, reminds me of popping packs in the 80’s with my dad. But for the life of me, in the past two years I can’t pull a single auto. Napkin garbage patches are just annoying. I just opened a Target retail box of High Number and pulled a “Traded” Variation of Gerrit Cole, bit can’t find a Print run to define if it’s an SP or SSP. I love and hate this product !

I picked up a autograph card of Sonny Gray, signed in red ink, but it is not numbered.
Is there an error with this ?

Or is his card just one that is in red ink only ?

In regards to Greg Crawford question

The purple refractors thst come in the “hot boxes” have the same image as the base and is numbered accordingly. THC- card number but the number matches base cards

The chrome parallels are not parallels ar all. They have different photos. I have never seen this before. Are they all like that?

Can anyone tell me why my Real One Autograph of Roy Face says “reprint” on the back under the Topps logo in the bottom lefthand corner? I’ve looked at some other cards from the same set and they just have the Topps logo. Is it because this guy played in the 50s and 60s? Also, almost every site has his card number as ROA-RFA. It is ROA-RF. He and Rollie Fingers both have the same card number. I’ve also seen the 69 Decal inserts listed as Wal-Mart only. This is not true. I found one in a pack at Meijer.

Is Topps ever again going to issue Manager cards? If they don’t want to put them in the main set, how about as inserts?

Manager cards have always been a part of the base set, at least since 1960, and they need to be in the set next year!

Soto couldn’t carry this product if he was batting .500

Obviously this product was released solely to showcase Soto . Opened up 3 target packs and literally recognized 3 people. Trash product overall.

How does Miguel Andujar not have a base card in either Heritage issue?

The players in this set are probably a good representation of the players that will be in the Topps update set scheduled for release in October…

Regarding the Utley & Rodney different backs – Colon #606 also has that back. My GUESS is that their stat box is so long that there wasn’t room for common logo/number/factoid back. Thoughts?

More info: Fernando Rodney card # 544 also missing the Topps logo on number in back

I bought a Hanger box from Walmart and noticed that only one of the cards (Chase Utley) is different on the back on the top left corner where the card number is. All the common and SP cards in the box have the Topps logo inside a black square in the top left hand corner on the back.
The Chase Utley card does not have the Topps logo inside a black square. It has a circle with the card number inside the circle. I can’t seem to find any information on it.

Cards OK but the Quality Control in my box was way off. Had 48 cards miss-cut with the top border missing. Bad news when there was a Ohtani and a Acuna miss cut. I guess I’ll try to get Topps to replace them. Did get a J.D. Davis Rookie auto and a Ichiro mini /100.

I love the Heritage sets, but I don’t understand the redundancy.

As I pointed out earlier, there are two cards each for Brandon Morrow and Eduardo Nunez, and now I find a card for Christian Arroyo with the Rays, even though he had the same card with the Rays in the base set.

Two Christian Arroyo cards, and no Madison Bumgarner? It makes no sense to me.

I love these cards but there are way too many sub-sets plus Target and Wal-Mart retail sub sets.
Where does it end. Most of the relic and auto. plus duels are junk no one wants except for the big name players or rookies also the variations are iffy get a name player or rookie and you have something. This is what drives the price on this product so high. Now they even print their own variations with check list. The cost of building these sets is out of range for so many young collectors. Soon they will classify collecting as gambling. Sad.

Topps usually took a head shot of the players mostly with out caps or caps that the team logo couldn’t be seen on in case the player was traded. Some players were pictured that way even several years after they had been traded. Expansion teams and teams that moved got the same treatment especially in the first two or three series. Most of the 1968 Oakland A’s were pictured cap less in the first two series of cards since they had moved from KC to Oakland that year and only the high numbers had the then current A’s cap. Crudely air-brushed photos started in the 70’s. And curiously the 1964 set featured players in their previous teams uniforms but shown with the logo of their new team. Examples are Don Demeter in a Phillies uniform and Julio Navarro in a LA Angels uniform even though they had been traded to the Tigers and had the Tigers logo on their cards. I think that looked much better the the cap less pics and I wish Topps had continued that.

Yeah, the Roy Face is definitely a Detroit Tiger since he went from the Pirates to the Tigers in 1968. Kind of funny that they still have him in a Pirates jersey. Card shows him as a Tiger on front any way so the checklist is incorrect.

Well I’ll be a monkeys uncle, Topps finally remembered the Detroit Tigers. The Roy Face real one autograph card is his 1969 card showing him as a Tiger. He is listed as being with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the checklist. He is wearing a Pittsburgh uniform with no Pirates cap though.

The print run on heritage is obscene. Production was more than doubled. Topp’s greed is on full display with this release. I may but a few singles off ebay later this year but this opening boxes of this retail and hobby is quite a money burn.

Nice to see the Miracle of ’69 cards, but 4 of the 5 photos are bad. No Donn Clendenon? He hit 3HR and was MVP. Swoboda’s catch is all wrong. Not the game 4 diving catch. They should have dumped Ryan for Koosman who was 2-0 and won game 7. Cleon Jones catch should have been replaced by one of Agee’s catches.

I love Heritage, all three sets. But sometimes they simply waste cards.

In this set, according to the checklist, there appear to be two cards of Brandon Morrow, and two cards of Eduardo Nunez. Why the redundancy?

How about a card for Gorkys Hernandez? Or Max Muncy? There are so many players they ignored, yet they duplicate two players.

Seems like a waste to me.

what happened to the tigers??? they celebrate 50th anniversary of 1968 World Series and not even a mention?..no relics, no autos…no nothing…..last year also……oh wait…miggy deckle edge…big woop……..they repented for the lack of veteran Jordan Zimmerman in the regular set by making him #501…..

No Way Jeff. Topps did the Short Prints right this time. All players who changed teams. Also 50 Sp are too many. 25 is passable.

Hooray, only ONE card I have to chase after, Rollie Fingers autograph (Olsen and Blackburn don’t count as they weren’t even a figment of anyone’s imagination in ’69). And as usual NO Detroit Tigers to chase since Al Kaline is tired of signing…

Would it have killed them to tweak things a little bit and have 50 short prints with one or two being one of the bigger rookies? At least it isn’t 100 common SPs but still

Soto? Gleyber?

What is the difference between high number and low number?

Seattle Pilots Fan here. After the poor selection of Pilots auto’s in the main Heritage release, I figured they were saving some of the best [Tommy Harper, Tommy Davis, Marty Pattin, Mike Marshall …] for the High Number release. I guess not. Can someone explain how/why there is a Mike Rollyson auto card, but no auto cards of several players [still living] who played on the 1969 Seattle Pilots? And can anyone explain why I paid $50 for the Rollyson auto card on eBay?

I knew Topps would highlight the ’69 Mets. And once again the Detroit Tigers, World Champions in ’68 are forgotten both in this set and last years too.
