First Buzz: 2024 Topps Heritage High Number baseball cards (will update)

[MotorboatJones]

$129 a box will be looking cheap in a few weeks

[Rooftop]

I’m sure there will be plenty for everyone. If not, they will print more

[FatButcher]

If no presale, makes its easy to save some cash. Not worth ordering on release day and waiting a month to receive it, and not worth paying Big3 prices.

Really loved the design and was hoping to rip some to enjoy and make some of my money back, but looks like that won't be an option this go around.

I bet it’ll be so bad that prices will go down 20% from the original price in 2 weeks, and then we can all pick it up for cheap.

That’s exactly what happened with Series 1!

[kyle1707]

When there is 2-3 companies running the whole secondary market. Prices will be high and stay high

We have 3 lcs who all have been in business for 20-30 years

None can even get a case of series 1 or heritage

My assumption is this way they can keep the prices where they want them

Fanatics is a smart company with a strong business plan.

Problem is majority of us are getting ripped off.

But to be honest majority of buyers don’t seem to care

They seem happy ….

Hence topps heritage being 150 dollars a box

Doesn’t matter that much, even the shops that are getting it are only getting a case or two.

Yes it does matter. So do you know the answer or just commenting to comment?

NO smart A$$. I asked a question to someone else and you felt the need to respond not knowing the answer.

That would be great, but I don’t see that happening unfortunately. This will be a good, popular release.

This is 100% True. Look at 2025 Topps Series 1. Available on Topps Website for a good while. Hobby boxes at $89.99. The moment they sell out, The Big 3 raise their price....currently sitting at $124.99 on BO. We know this was printed to the moon and not scarce. Why is it this high? It's watered down, to say the least, and tough to hit anything good. Who in God's name is buying this at that price. Price of jumbos makes me laugh out loud. An overwhelming number of these boxes will be losers. Many people in this hobby have more money than brains. I'm just pi$$ed that I'm not one of them! Then again, depending on who you ask, they may tell you that I have little brains, to go along with the lack of funds!

The presales on this is comical. Someone trying to sell a blaster for $62.79 on Ebay

Get them while you can. In 2 weeks blasters will be selling for triple that much. No way they don't hit $200. This will be a very limited release. I have it on good authority that they printed less of this than they did 1991 Topps. And we all know how popular that was back in the day.

[mfw13]

One angle I haven't heard discussed is how quickly this will be eclipsed by 2025 Heritage, which is supposed to release in late April, i.e. about a month after 24 HHN.

2 are direct and 1 is not

But all we’re getting 5-10 cases of heritage for 20 years from

All sports marketing
Southern hobby
Gts

Those are direct from topps for card shops so it’s pretty much the same thing with extra 2-3 percent mark up

It’s funny just 10 years ago you had to prove you owned a brick mortar to get anything from topps or direct distributors

Now you have to be a massive breaker or huge dist

This shows false scarcity and makes prices much higher

People in the hobby will buy anything at any price …

Topps fanatics have to laugh themselves to sleep every night

I think it helps that the very popular mini version will be in these packs instead of their own product. Like a 2 for 1 with this.

[PumpnDumpling]

My apologies if it has been discussed but does anyone know or have a good idea when this will be up for sale on topps.com?

Exactly. Very significant inclusion

I think if anything this has the potential to push 2025 Heritage into the discount bin even faster. Most folks would prefer the 2024 HHN with a much better RC chase, better (to most) design and the mini option.

Unless a 2025 rookie comes out of the gates on absolute fire, the 25 Heritage will struggle.

Agree it’s a huge one time deal. I agree

But when the only places that are able to pre sell are topps blowout and Dave adams maybe a couple others . But very few chosen ones

And nobody has any for pre sale

It’s just another massive problem with hobby

It’s being done for a reason. No clue why?

Maybe topps want to sell a large amount off there site?

Or a crazy thought ? Topps massively over produces everything to the point of damaging the hobby. But this one product will be incredibly short printed ?
