Someone actually did their homework here. Well done, ESPECIALLY the bundy.

And as a side note, topps must have gotten special permission from mlb for the bundy card because no minor leaguer can be shown on a "topps" branded card.

Holy smokes those are awesome. And the no name sales is up and running for 199.99 WOW

Great post. I love articles that detail the stories behind certain cards.

I let mine run at auction and it got $133.50 so not sure it gets $199 but if so, good for that seller.

It does have a best offer so It may get what yours did at auction.

Think about how great some of the past Heritage sets would be if Topps actually did pay homage to whatever design they reproduced.

Bundy was up last season.

Dylan was, but the card pictures bobby who hasn't played in the bigs.

I think this is the first time since 06 that a minor leaguer (who has not played in the bigs) has been pictured on a reg topps branded card.

Actually, there are throwbacks to the original design in every Heritage set, but very few take the time to notice them. Most folks who rip Heritage are only looking for a big hit, and ignoring the cards themselves.

2005 Grey Backs / White Backs, 2007 Yellow Variations, 2008 Smoltz SSP, 2010 Dice Backs, 2011 tints, the list goes on and on.

Those are some sweet cards.

Perfect for a set like this. Well Done Topps.

I also pulled that Sale card before I knew about the errors. Great move by Topps on these.

Can't wait to get my box in the mail....hopefully tomorrow. Sweet looking cards

I like the makeup of the entire product.

What I don't like is the cost, way too high for the "quality" of the autos & base cards.

Would be great with an srp of $70

Theres about 15 or so different & "popular" "error cards topps could make using 1980s designs alone.

Ah, sorry. I didn't read the article before I posted to see that it wasn't Dylan.

Dylan's name is on the card. The 1985 card a UER and shows Gary Pettis' younger brother!

It's an error, remember? wink wink

I had never heard of the Pettis card. They went pretty deep there. Well done.
