2017 Heritage
24 packs per box - 9 cards per pack
Look for - Ultimate Card Giveaway, Buy Back cards, and 1 Real One Auto or Relic Card in every box!
I received the following:
193 unique base cards, 1 duplicate, and 8 SP's
Base 1-400 and SP 401-500
Base
Heritage is in the 1968 Topps design. Card design is clean with sharp clear pictures. The front is not cluttered - easy to read. The reverse contains personal stats, pro stats, and a write up about the player along with a bit of trivia on each card.
The number of SP's received is rather slim considering there are 100 of them.... To have the possibility of pulling all 100, one will need to buy 13 boxes..... might be a bit easier to run to the 'bay for the ones you need... However, there are those of us that buy cases of Heritage in order to collate master sets each year -- rock and roll!

This is the first stamp card (or coin card) of any kind that I have ever pulled. It is a cool looking card.
***********
Heritage should be a hit again this year especially with the master set builders out there. There are lots of inserts - blue parallel could prove to be a major hill to climb if one wants the complete set in blue, but hey, that's what the card collecting folks want.
My favorite is the stamp card - well done. Autos again come in blue and red- sadly, I did not receive either one...
Overall grade A- excellent design, maybe a few more SP's?
Go buy several boxes/cases and send the Rays parallels to me - while we are still tied for 1st place (before the season begins!!)
