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

[uniquebaseballcards]

Why so negative?

because of the XXXX job Topps did with this release. this is a piss poor job. the packaging sucks, the paper stock sucks, the player selection sucks.

Where are the floating heads? where are the multiplayer car updates? what the XXXX Topps?

this was a total money grab by them. piss poor money grab.

and topps support is clueless as they want me to send in the UPC/Barcode from my box along with my receipt to replace my damaged auto. GUESS WHAT? there IS NO BARCODE/UPC on the XXXXing box!

Didn't you pay electronically? Perhaps its easier to get a refund through your credit card or (gasp) PayPal.

Good luck with those. I say open them until you hit one nice auto.

Remind me again...... Why did you buy a set?

 

[trauty]

Just got 2 more in the mail today. I have a few more coming but will probably sell them sealed. Here's the results of my 5 sets (Pastornicky Red Ink and Harper were the ones I pulled today):

Give it time. Once the crazy Heritage set collectors scoop up the ones they need, you'll probably get one for close to that range.

because i have 2001 through 2012 "low" number Sets

hang on to the red, its going to be rarer then the other red Pastornicky's

So your Pastornicky is a red? Why not just toss it on eBay, get your $50-75 and be done with it. Both of my Pastornicky's have bad corners. He must've used these cards to pick his teeth.

I think you'd get more satisfaction out of running a contest and giving it away to a Braves fan (or send it to his dad, he's a nice guy -- and a former KC Royal).

 

[mudflap02]

Just to drive TBP up the wall...

Last card in Heritage = #500.

First card in Heritage Update = #H575.

TOPPS RELEASES INFO ON "HERITAGE SEMI HI NUMBER" SET

- khris young

When does a goof turn into a gold mine? When topps messes up!

"somehow, we goofed & started the heritage hi number set at 575 instead of 501" said the pr guy.

"topps' amazing customer service staff fields about 100 calls a day from concerned collectors that they are missing 75 cards from their heritage set" continued the pr guy.

"but we are about to end those worries now"

So how do you get one of these new, online exclusive "semi hi number" sets?

Simply send in $74.99 AND 3 wrappers from five star baseball.

"I'm sure a few collectors have already trashed their wrappers since it came out 5 days ago, but you shouldn't have. The taiwan collectors saved their wrappers when they got 5 star a month ago. But if u did, just buy 3 more packs"

BUT WAIT, THERES MORE

Each set will contain a baggie filled with "flakes".

"im not at liberty to tell you where these flakes are from, but hot damn, our floor was covered waist deep in them"

Lastly, each set will have a 50 cents off coupon for "lays dip"
