2023 Topps Heritage Hobby Box Break

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.

Once again, Topps Heritage heralds in the pending baseball season, even if this year is different from normal. This release pays tribute to 1973 Topps with cards in that style, as well as buybacks and other homages to that year. The base set contains 400 cards, with an additional 100 SPs running 401-500, as well as various variant SPs within that base run.

While the prices on many releases have been skyrocketing, and Heritage is up, it still comes in at a mostly reasonable range. Part of the reason for this is likely that Heritage isn’t really a hit driven release, so it’s not as popular for group breakers. Each box does guarantee one relic or autograph, but the autographs are much rarer to receive. A box contains 24 packs, with 9 cards per pack.
