No, I just pulled it. I was searching to make sure it was a throwback and I saw that $5 sale from March 4. I wasn't the buyer though.

KO probably would have paid $500 or so for it.

yes, he does on all of them that you guys have been getting with me on
this is the 9th throwback (and 5 errors) I have sent him links to for guys on here and twitter that reached out to me first
perhaps a middle man/broker fee should start to be in place, lol

j/k, I appreciate you guys DM and PM me before you list so I can reach him for a head's up (and other buyers if it is one he has) with the links asap as 2 guys are calling, emailing, texting me if I can find more (there are 4 doing the set that I deal with, but only 2 have been able to make any head way so far, with KO being the top guy of course, but MB wants them just as bad and will also insta-buy)

I continue to research 2013-2015 color swaps, retro logo, action and wonder why I ever sell a single one of these other than the first 24-48 hours lol
I realize commons rarely increase like harper, trout, jeter
but man, even common color swaps from last year are $25 (not heritage high) or david ortiz sold $72 or cabrera $50-$60
I mean color swaps can be had for $10 now

actions don't quite see the increase especially on the lower tier, but even commons are at $8-$12 on older action sp; that's better than they are now

I realize this is not news or a new thing, just hard for to think of holding that many for later
and of course if trout or harper have bad year or get hurt, then you have that risk, but surely they won't ever be any lower than right now, lol

Shocked on the actions. Thought that I was getting a good deal buying 10 Mannys for $10 on average.

Thank to everyone contributing in this thread. I had already put together base sets ready to ship from my retail break but hadn't really checked for errors because it was just that...retail. Well, the posts here of retail errors inspired me and sure enough, the first set I went through had the "Frank" Liriano Error

That is worst then the Senators variation I picked up a couple of years ago for $10 then resold it to Brent who I am sure also resold it lol. I couldnt believe when I saw the BIN on that, I couldn't pay fast enough.

Do they have the Correa throwback yet? I have one coming in tomorrow.

Hi Brent,

Any idea if the "Big Two" do the Gold Chrome's? I just hit a Trout and listed it as the other one is currently. I see one sold already for a Best Offer.

I can not fill all the sets even with 40 cases
I know many who love the panels
And again, for Topps and most collectors, it is important to stay with the original layout of the old products, not change it, making all 3 from same team changes it and also limits the market/collectability perhaps.
as instead of Mets fans chasing 3 panels, they just chase 1
You may like that but some won't

On the SP, it would KILL heritage value for collector's, if they had less SP and easier SP, the 50 sp 1:2 model, is the worst!!! See A&G sets, sets with SP should not be $25, this is old school and sticks to what it is known best for. It used to be 110 sp at 1:2, BUT to copy Ginter by doing 50 at 1:2 would be disastrous on all fronts IMO, shoot even GQ with 50 sp are at least 1:4, and we saw archives go from easy sp to dang tough sp, so personally I disagree, and 95% of Heritage collectors I know feel this is THE set to have; it's large, has sp, but is still easy to obtain and holds value over time due to sp mostly

I do agree the clubhouse collection are not the best, they are not as collected as even series 1 relics, but again I have 5 guys who want a set (which I have never been able to complete full ones)
The set used to be much better with many retired/hof guys, but can't just keep finding new jerseys of those nor for cheap so they save what little they have for higher end. I would not get rid of them though, in this day in age even in a $60-$70 box you need 1 hit no matter how small IMO.

The 1 auto from every team just doe snot hold water to me at all. I see no benefit and is easy to see do this but harder to pull off. Just because the Giants had people in 1967 does not mean they can or will sign or can even be reached in some cases. Last year there were autos of some of those guys like Panik, plus Posey has autos this year, it is just they are on limited items, I pulled his poster auto.

Finally, yes, some may prefer an action over clubhouse, but 1 per box is already often enough, we see them selling for $1-$5 besides the big 3, even Posey is $5 or under at times; you put a 2nd one in, watch out, 50 cents anyone?

And I a not saying this from a seller. I am saying this from the feedback my buyers give me all the time, the history of the past releases and past years they are mimicking, and finally from a collector of the set ad autos myself...I want the value to hold long term too. If I have to pay $220 for a master set at least I know it shouldn't be $100 down the road, but if sp are easy and actin are more easy, sure it's cheaper but doe snot hold value as well or have as much potential to increase down the road, IMO.

We are all different, so Topps has to go with the majority
BUT they also change each product up....not all are created equal or even with same people in mind. If you want an easy sp set, but Ginter, if you want errors and tough sp (Heritage), really tough sp (Archives)
to each his own and there are options
Spot on. I am one of those obsessive collectors of Heritage and the only changes I'd make are one more auto per case and no cheating on the autos. Meaning, to me Ryan shouldn't have appeared in Heritage until next year. I get he was in pro ball, but his RC was 1968 and that should have been his first appearance.

Other than that maybe a little less flair. I really didn't need Supers but that's a very small gripe.

Thanks Brent for sharing this info! Your two tweets made life about 100x easier to spot the errors/variations/etc - this is the kinda info the hobby needs!

2016 Topps Heritage Baseball Variations Gallery, Checklist

Would it be fair to say that on all (or very close to it) that the Facsimile Autograph on the card is also in a different spot? It appears that way, but I rarely crack more than a box because my brain doesn't function properly when looking for the good stuff!

Edit - doh, looked through many of the examples, maybe 50% of the auto's are a different font, location, size or sig altogether. Definitely not something to use to find ALL variations... Answered my own question, haha

I haven't even busted my second case nor have I had time to go through the case I already busted. Thanks everyone for posting the information as it becomes available.

I have a stupid question - does a master set include the gum stained and action variations or just 1-500 + flashbacks, then and now and new age performers?
