2012 Topps Heritage High-Numbers Boxed Set Preview (EDIT - Checklist Added)

[schmidtfan20]

yeah, after waiting through 4 terrible years topps did step it up, even though I swear some of those star have print runs of less than 10.

I caved and bought one. I still had my $10 coupon from the diamond giveaway last year, so that basically made shipping free.

It will be nice to add some autos to my collection. I think almost everyone buying this is hoping they hit a big auto, so the scrubs will be sold off pretty quickly, and they are going to dry up.

And let's be fair here and give credit where credit was due. The auto checklist in this year's Heritage was the best checklist in years. There were plenty of scrubs but a lot more star power than we were used to seeing.

I know Aaron, Koufax, and Mays were really short printed, probably about 20. I'm thinking most of the other HOFers might be the same run.

Just a note:
Free shipping on $100 or more
If you plan to buy 1 set,
buy something in their store so your total is more than $100 otherwise you pay shipping if you spend $99.95

 

[goldenegg1]

I got free shipping on the $99.95

When will we know the three 'TBD' autographs? Anyone have any idea?

Somehow I paid more by using my discount code - total was 101.71 in TX.

286 sets left as of right now, Topps will gross one million dollars if this sells out. Seems like easy, easy, easy money. They will make a ton of profit on this, costs are crazy low. Print up 1,000 sheets of base cards, no need to collate. Packaging is minimal. No chromes or other inserts. They will do this again.


This seemed like a last minute deal. If these are sticker autos like Heritage Minors, I will make a frown.

Topps is certainly going to turn a tidy profit, but...1000 sets * $100 = $100,000. It's late

100K not quite 1 million, but still a nice little payday for basically doing nothing but cutting hobby shops out of the loop. I see topps now selling these kinds of products online from now on, they can put up products with the ginter and heritage name in them and sell them sell and not have to share the money with hobby stores.

People are selling sets on ebay for $80....why would they do that?

no auto perhaps

 

[allstars]

Yet another opportunity for Topps to put first true rookies of Miguel Gonzalez or Ryan Flaherty, or Nate McLouth in his O's uni and they don't. Hopefully MGonzo and Flaherty are in Draft.

True rookies wouldn't be issued in a Topps.com exclusive set.

 

[schmidtfan20]

80 bucks for a set? Those guys are dreaming. Once you open these look to lose 75%.

 

[mudflap02]

My math is way off.

They will still make a ton of money.

Aren't the auto preview pictures we have seen thus far actual scans?

True rookies can be issued anywhere. In a plane, or in a train...

Any chance Topps holds up delivery of these if not sold out by 11/6? I could see them waiting so the secondary market doesn't undercut them when people pull the autos out and sell the base cards.

No, Topps Mini was not sold out at release date, I bought my boxes after release date and it sold out to some FCB member with over 300 boxes left...
I believe the A&G Glossy was not sold out at release date either...
