Base Cards and Parallels;



Base & Black Back;




Rookie Cards;

I enjoyed the 1959 Topps design that provides shear heaven for the nostalgic collector, and takes many of us back to a simpler time and place. The close-up posed photos give the collectors a better view of their favorite Stars and Rookies.

Insert Cards;

Then & Now




News Flashbacks – Baseball Flashbacks




New Age Performers





Chrome & Chrome Refractor

Final Thoughts on 2008 Topps Heritage Baseball;

Topps products are always fun to bust, and this year’s Heritage was no exception. This is a set builder’s dream with a multitude of short printed cards along with a number of collectable parallels. The possibility of pulling “cut” autographs as well as a full list of current stars is sure to have collectors coming back for more of this product. For a list of the short printed and black back cards, here is a link to the published list: 08 Topps Heritage / Short Prints & Variations

Here's how I would rate this product;

• Value = 5
• Innovation = 4
• Fun and Experience = 5
• Rebuy Value = 4

I rate this product an "A" for Topps!
