Topps Heritage - Like a carrot dangling just out of reach!

Not fair!!! I want to open and give my review of this year's Heritage but it looks like I will have to wait until Friday since I have not been able to locate any in Texas. Oh well, meanwhile, enjoy this scan of a black refractor also pulled by my friend Kevin!

2009 Topps Heritage is here!!!

Well, I have proof that 2009 Topps Heritage has been released!! Unfortunately, I do not have any here in Texas. My local dealer says he has confirmation that he will have it on Friday and I will post my pulls shortly thereafter. Meanwhile here are a few pictures of cards that my friend Kevin has posted.....


2009 Topps Heritage!!!!


I managed to find this picture on the internet!!!! Any day now and I will be ripping!!



Also, I saw this card and began to wonder. How can someone hang on to this for 200 years and is it possible to do a DNA test to prove its authentic??? I am not a scientist but I would be curious to know the answer. It is an amazing card but the buy it now seems a bit high in my opinion....

There is no Heritage sighting as of right now. I have checked the bay and all over the internet and NOTHING!! :(

Oh well! A friend of mine was telling me of this card and I have NO idea why it is going for over $1,000!!! I thought this was like a $20 card!!! Check it out:

Topps Heritage

Well, we have 12 days left until the release date of Topps Heritage
unless it gets delayed. I look forward to this product every year.
This year I decided to prebuy my cases from a reputable dealer after
getting delayed last year by svu18. So I went with lrcards who has
been reputable among my Collectors Universe trading buddies. Big
mistake. Lrcards went out of business and now people are scrambling
trying to find dealers that have Heritage. As of this post there is
only one dealer that has a case listed on Ebay, Blowout Cards. Blowout
is basically price gouging asking for well over $900 a case. Blowout
used to have decent prices as I have bought from them several times.
However, they have recently changed their ways and now charge prices
that you would expect to see at card shops in shopping malls. Well,
those are my thoughts for today. Check back tomorrow and every day for
more Heritage news!
