2024 Topps Heritage Baseball takes things back to 1975 when Captain and Tennille were topping the music charts, Archie Bunker was being a curmudgeon from the comfort of his living room and a first class stamp was a dime. Here, it’s more about getting nostalgic for the likes of George Brett, Robin Yount and one of the most colorful designs to ever grace Topps’ flagship line.
While there are a lot of similarities to previous Heritage sets in its build and scope, there’s one major change that gets to the heart of the brand’s base set.
Heritage is traditionally a favorite for collectors who like to build sets. It taps into the origins of the hobby before hits and other chase cards. To that end, the 500-card checklist is one of the bigger ones of the year when it comes to a single release. Besides regular player cards, there are subsets for MVPs, League Leaders and more. The design is based on 1975 Topps Baseball.
As has been the case for the past several years, the base set includes 100 short prints (1:3 packs). This is where one of the big changes comes in as the SPs move from the end of the checklist to the start. For those simply wanting to build a shell set of the 400 main cards, that now means going from #101-500 (replacing #407, a stray short print, with #82, not an SP). From a set building perspective, that gap at the front a lot different and harder to ignore than when they land at the end.
2002 Topps Traded and 2002 Fleer Tradition Baseball are a couple of modern products that have taken this approach.
Among the parallels are Red Border cards, which are exclusive to Target giant boxes. Flip Stock return as hobby exclusives. These reverse the side of the sheet the cards are printed on. As a result, the fronts on these feel rougher and backs have more of a glossy finish. Needless to say, they’re not the easiest cards to spot.
The 2024 Topps Heritage Baseball checklist has several variation themes that change base cards in various ways. These include Black and White Images, Color Swap, White Border, Nicknames and the historically popular Throwback Uniforms. Image, Black Border, Error and Missing Facsimile Signature Variations are also on the checklist and are exclusive to hobby.
Select cards also have Chrome versions (/999), giving them a distinctly modern twist. These have their own mix of parallels:
Over the years, Heritage has developed a strong following for its hits. That said, the product doesn’t take a quantity approach to what’s promised in every box. Autographs are actually fairly tough with plain jersey swatches showing up a lot more frequently.
Real One Autographs anchor the signatures. These combine a multi-generational checklist, the 1975 design and on-card signatures. Red Ink Special Edition parallels are numbered to 75.
Real One Dual (/25) and Triple Autographs (/5) are only available in hobby packs.
New to 2024 Topps Heritage Baseball are 1975 Topps Award Winner Buyback Autographs. Signers on these came up big in the mid ’70s. Original Topps cards are used for these.
Also using players from 1975 are Flashback Autograph Relics (/25 or less).
1975 Baseball Cut Signatures and 1975 Celebrity Cut Signatures are all one-of-ones.
Memorabilia cards continue to be anchored by Clubhouse Collection. Standard versions have Gold parallels numbered to 99 and under. There are also Dual (/75), Triple (/25) and Quad (/10) Clubhouse Collection cards with the equivalent number of players. Autographed Relics top ut at 25 copies.
Stamps replace tradition gear in 1975 U.S. Postage Stamp Relics (/50).
The nods to 1975 don’t end with the base set. In fact, that’s just the start. Whether it’s designs or themes, inserts head back five decades as well.
Baseball Flashbacks and News Flashbacks both return, looking at what happened on and off the field that year.
Then and Now compare current players with stars with similar stats from the time that Jaws was taking a blockbuster bite out of the box office.
Another year, there’s another installment of New Age Performers as well.
Oversized 1975 Topps Baseball blow up select 2024 Heritage base cards. Some of these also have scarce autograph versions.
A couple of retail-exclusive insert sets dive deep into 1975 from a trading card perspective but not necessarily baseball. 1975 Topps Baseball Sensations uses the company’s 1975 Bay City Rollers design to spotlight current and retired players. Gold Foilboard versions are only in Walmart packs while Platinum Foilboard are Target exclusives. In both instances, cards are limited to 999 copies each.
Literal interpretations of mascots and nicknames are the focus of 1975 Topps Zoo’s Who Stick-Ons. The inspiration set was all about animals and wildlife. Like Baseball Sensations, there are Walmart (Blue) and Target (Red) exclusives with print runs of 999.
1975 Topps in 3D is a third retail-only insert set.
Hobby boxes continue to offer box loaders. This year they come in two general forms. 1975 Topps Originals are vintage cards that have a stamp added to them.
The fine print: Please read the entire listing before purchasing. All cards shipped via USPS. Hits will be in top-loaders, rookies will at minimum be sleeved, all other cards will ship in a team bag. Per eBay rules, there are no refunds once the live break starts. Our shipping week goes Friday through Thursday, we process everything Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and USPS picks up next business day. We do combine shipping all week to help you save money! If you are unable to view the live break, the video will be uploaded on YouTube shortly after completion. If a card is pulled that has multiple players on it, whoever has 51% ownership of the teams will win the card. If nobody has 51% of the teams associated with the card, we will use random.org at the end of the break to determine the winner. This listing is not for a specific pack, box or case of cards or memorabilia. There is No Guarantee we will pull a specific card or player, just something from the team you purchase. Pictures in this listing may include images that represent cards or other items which may be available overall in the live break, but do not offer, promise, guarantee or otherwise imply the specific card(s) or other item(s) will be pulled in this break or any future breaks. You are hereby bidding on the opportunity to watch our YouTube Live break. If there is a card pulled that does not have an auction spot, we will use random.org to randomize the card to all auction spots for this break. If a retired player is pulled, we will award it to the team on the card. If no team is on the card, it will be the jersey they are wearing in the picture, then the team they spent time with the longest (if it comes to that). Please, no e-checks, as other buyers will not want to wait for your payment to clear before we can start the break. If a buyer fails to pay on time, their team(s) will be offered up to the group before the start of the break. In the event of a power loss and/or loss of internet service, the show will be put on pause and communication will go out to each winner about when the show picks back up. Refunds are not issued in this case. Bakersfield Hobby cannot assure the claims made by the product companies on their hit guarantees. For instance: If a specific brand claims that there are two autographs/box and we only pull one, this is not grounds for a refund from Bakersfield Hobby. Buyers understand that Bakersfield Hobby cannot control this, and will ship the cards we open on camera. Nothing more, nothing less. Most of all, have a great time with the breaks, and good luck!!
