2011 Topps Heritage Preview

[Jaypers]

Hopefully the corners of these cards will be in better shape than they were 48 years ago.

I'm liking the look.

 

[SamHell]

Not a fan of the woodgrain. Didn't like the original 62's or the 87 set.

 

[Halonut]

NIIIICE! hopefully they produce real one autos of dean chance and jim fregosi :ugeek:

 

[vwnut13]

I wonder if the packs with a half dollar weigh more? lol

How can they do black refractors this year?

 

[KC37]

Are there going to be green-tinted SP parallels?

 

[Hold Steady]

Are there going to be green-tinted SP parallels?

Haha yeah probably. Topps will just mention that it's an eco-friendly SP.

 

[TNP777]

Are there going to be green-tinted SP parallels?

This is what I'm hoping for. If I had to wager, I'd bet on yes - hopefully they do some pose variations within the green tints as well.

As far as the black refractors go, I'd love to see them keep the wood grain and integrate it with the black instead of putting a solid black border around the wood grain. Does that make sense?

I was thinking the same thing....I have to own this card!!!

I think I understand. Have the black border with some lines inside of the black to give a wood grain look? That could be interesting.

What no feedback from Schmidty? Oh wait, nevermind on that... Cant wait myself though.

yep - that's exactly what I was driving at.

I've been looking forward to this set since they started doing black refs. I've been envisioning them as something like this:

But even solid black would look supersharp, IMHO, although it would conflict with the usual black lettering on the first name.

 

[Dice-K Collector]

That guy who made the 1.50 card comment... why?

 

[nevermore]

The base look incredible as always but I especially love the insert designs this year.

I am seriously considering collecting the Yankee team sets from this and past Heritage issues. I have been working on a checklist today.
