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

[Dukefett]

I'm trying to order blasters from Target, but the orders get cancelled immediately. I guess they're sold out but not showing that on the listing?

Do you have successful orders, already? They automatically cancel after a certain amount of orders.

Could it be just the result of rounding odds to the nearest whole number?

Maybe they have it up but are not processing orders until Wednesday?

And I wasn't wrong about the mini's being 1:3, Cardboard Connection is the one who reported it and still has it at 1:3.

What exactly do you understand a master set to be?

A mester set in Heritage High has always been taken to mean a 501-725 set (base plus SP's) along with each of the primary insert sets.

This year those primary insert sets total 100 cards, meaning you can't possibly get a complete master set, even with perfect collation.

Definitely could be that!

Nope, I ordered 2024 Megaboxes last year, but not trying to over-order on this years or anything. Just trying for 3.

Weird, I honestly have no idea. Maybe try a different method, app, pc, phone, etc.

The last time I was able to make a master set from heritage high was 2021 or 22 I believe. Base set was around 10. Maybe 3 base sets with sps.

Yes that is correct.

However a base set plus sp's is not a master set.

Bingo. Seems to be a reluctance to admit defeat happening. Shocking development here.

A Master Set of High Number is all 225 cards including SPs. Anything beyond that is up to the collector. Some people collect the Image Variations, Color Variations, NAPs, TNs, ROAs, Throwbacks, etc. It's up to the individual collector, and whatever combination you want to include can be called a Master Set. But the common thread is the 225 cards with the SPs.

Incorrect. Master set includes base, sps, and all the 6 insert or so sets. For heritage high, the last master set I was able to make was 2021 or 2022 if I recall.

2022 i fell a few inserts short...maybe 12 or so and part of that is duplicates.

To corroborate, every sold HHN master set on Ebay in a quick glance at recent history is base, sp & inserts.

Not correct. Which is why you commonly see it referred to as a 501-700 set or a 501-725 set.

That's your opinion which is totally fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's a hobby. People can collect what they want. Some people consider a Master Set to include all inserts and variations (throwback, image, etc). That doesn't make them right or wrong. I've been collecting Heritage since the 1st year and the Master Set was all 407 cards with all red and black backs. The inserts were extra. In 2010, they had the dice backs, I collected those as part of my Master Set. Not everyone did. Doesn't make it correct or incorrect. The only common thread across everyone's definition of "Master Set" is the base cards and SPs.

Some singles popping up on eBay. Skenes auto redemption, Skenes mini, Langford auto.

Ordering from the app worked, thanks! Don't know why ordering from a PC wouldn't, oh well, crisis averted!

That redemption is great for data collection purposes for fanatics.

Sucks for consumers, but we will buy it anyways .

I’m hoping that the mini sp will fall 1:30 and the regular mini will be 1:3. It doesn’t distinguish from what I’ve seen between a regular and SP on the odds.

Those are the odds for the 2024 Mini Release, not for high number

Exactly.

Many wealthy people got rich precisely because they are careful with their money.

My attitude towards wax pricing is no different than my attitude towards restaurant prices, parking, hotels, airfare, books, clothing, TV/movies, sports events, etc.

No matter what I am spending my money on, I make sure that I get good value for it.

I caught that a minute late as it was listed on the same page as the HHN. I revised my original post.
