This year’s Heritage baseball set pays tribute to the 1971 release. The original black borders are a fan favorite, but difficult to find in top shape. Hopefully these fare a bit better. The release itself is a well known format. We see a 400 card base set with an additional 100 SPs running 401-500. We also see an assortment of variations with action shots, errors, throwback jerseys, and team name color change. New this year are a set of variations missing the printed autograph on the cards.

The release seems much more polarizing than I can remember this year. It’s a pretty standard format, but it’s not the format of most current releases. This is not a hit driven product. That’s not to say there aren’t some big hits, but they are few and far between. A box advertises one hit, but it is much more like to be a relic than an autograph.

A box advertises 24 packs with 9 cards per pack, and includes a real out autograph or relic card in every box.

This box contained:

196 Base (49% of 400 card base set)
8 Base SP (8% of 100 card SP set)
1 Base VAR SP Action
1 Base Chrome
2 20 Giants Seasons
1 Baseball Flashbacks
2 New Flashbacks
