He's signing 77s... Is heritage skipping a year?

Good eye. Honestly - and this is just gut thought, no insight - it could be that Topps/Fanatics is trying to maybe maximize the amount of signatures trey get in one effort. Since the 77 design is a given, there is no other thought that goes into making the veteran autos. If they can print them now and get them in inventory to avoid a future redemption (or much much worse something tragic happened to Dale), it's a smart move. If anything, this could bode well for the rumors that Heritage might be on the chopping block...why make cards for a set two years into the future unless you plan on making the set?

Geez, the print run in that Tribute set. RIP lol Love that he just tosses one of those cards.

Hoping for a stand alone mini set like regular heritage but doubt it'll happen this late in the 2024 product cycle.

That's a possibility. We'll have to keep our eyes open for Eck or anyone else who should be signers for 76. if your theory is right, at least we'll know we have heritage for 2 more seasons minimum.

I hope they are just getting them a year before so that they can be ready for next year on time. Hope they don't start skipping years......

At any rate, that card looks awesome!

I'm sure they are just getting ahead. But I LOVE that he's inscribing the cards with a serial number of 3! That is fantastic. I also didn't realize he wrote left handed.

The label on the box end appears to read 77RO-DM, Dale Murphy, 2025 Topps Herirage BB.

And Dale says here is the 2025 Topps Heritage.

It’s possible he’s signing ahead of time for 2026. Kind of think 2025 would already have autos back by now? Just thinking out loud.

It would be crazy if they randomly decided to skip the 1976 design.....but then Topps/Fanatics has plenty of idiots amongst it's upper management .

If Dale Murphy is right, I wonder if killing the continuity of Heritage would effectively hurt the market for it? Part of the attraction to Heritage is the tradition/continuation of the set.

76 Design wasn't horrible(about par with 77). Would not make any sense to skip a year......

Unless Topps is telling him that so he will sign the cards now and not wait til next year

When Rickey Henderson died, I remember thinking about the fact that there will not be a 1980 ROA for him. Morbid thought, but since the card designs are already predetermined, maybe Topps should get the stuff signed while they can and put them in the vault til they're needed.

Planning would be nice ... I had that thought a couple years ago. Hank Aaron should have been a showcase auto in the 1974 and 1975 remakes. Rickey 100% in 1980.

Drawback: Working in advance also costs extra $ not recouped until later.

Topps just shared what they described as a first look at 2024 heritage high number.

When will heritage do a reboot? and go back to 52? 1982?

I don't think they will reboot it. Can see them do another 52 retro type set though

He's actually pretty good. Can you imagine how many World Series the Angels would have won if he was on the same team with Mike Trout and Albert Pujols? That team would have been unstoppable.

I love the thought that someone at Topps is just now realizing that they skipped '76 accidentally after the cards have printed and autos are being signed.
