Attention, card collectors! The highly anticipated 2024 Topps Heritage High Number release has officially dropped, and it’s bringing that sweet 1975 Topps nostalgia with a modern twist! Released on March 26, 2025, this continuation of the 2024 Topps Heritage Baseball set is packed with rookies, late-season call-ups, and players sporting new team jerseys. Here’s why you’ll want to snag one of these boxes ASAP!
Each Blaster Value Box delivers 8 packs with 9 cards per pack, including one Chrome Base or Parallel, one Base Aqua Border, and three exclusive Base Green Bordered Variations. The 225-card base set (numbered 501-725, with short prints from 701-725) focuses on fresh faces and traded veterans, making it a must-have for set builders chasing the full Heritage experience.
Heritage is back for 2024, this time paying tribute to the 1975 Topps release. The release follows the standard format we’ve come to expect, with flashback inserts featuring baseball and general news events from 1975, as well as an assortment of relics and autographs. There is one major change this year, which some say is a brilliant idea to push more people in to completing their sets.
In past releases, the base card SPs were an extension of the base numbering, recently filling card numbers 401-500. This year, however, that’s been changed. SPs this year, are card number 1 to 100. The feeling is that it’s easy to skip the high numbers, but a set will likely feel incomplete if you do not have the first hundred cards.
A hobby box contains 24 packs with 9 cards per pack, and advertises one relic or autograph per box. The relics fall much more commonly.
While the time frame of the release is a bit later than we became accustomed to, the Heritage High Number release is still the standard components we’ve come to expect. It picks up right where the first release left off, containing cards 501-700, with an additional 25 SPs running to 725.

The Topps Heritage release, normally out early in the year, makes it debut in late May this year. This year, it features a set in the design of 1974 cards. We find the normal set of variations, but now something new, as well, taking after the Flagship release from earlier in the year. Every card in the release has a black & white version. I would hesitate to call this a parallel, as much as a variation, as the image itself is changing.
The set again features 400 base cards, with an additional 100 SP cards running from 401-500. A hobby box contains 24 packs with 9 cards per pack. A box also guarantees one autograph or relic. The autographs tends to be much more rare than the relics. Even at the price, this is more of a set collectors release, but many boxes are required for a base set, and good luck getting all the SPs in packs.
The Topps Heritage High Number release adds an update to the original Heritage release from earlier in the year. The base set continues on after the first 500 cards from the first series, with cards 501-700, plus 701-725 as SPs. A number of the insert sets from earlier in the year also have the numbering continue with the High Number release.
This release mirrors the first release of the year, with 24 packs of 9 cards per pack. Each box guarantees either one autograph or relic. The hits are not really the focus of this product, however. It is more geared toward set collecting, so the boxes are generally not being driven up in price by breaker culture.
