Looking Forward to Heritage

Heritage is out.  Auctions are up on Ebay.  I wait patiently.

I am really looking forward to this year's Heritage because the 1969 set it the first one I collected.  I used many nickels to buy stacks of wax packs.

 

Last year I made my own version of what I thought Kris Bryant's card would look like.  Mine in on the left, the Topps version is on the right.  I put him in a 1960's Wrigley Field.  Topps put him in Mesa. I also used the same position designation as was used in 1969.  Topps changed it.  Sorry, Topps, but I think mine is better looking.

There is a decent number of Cubs cards in the set, and Brentandbecca will be sending them to me.  The checklist includes:

Base Cards:
20 Anthony Rizzo

    I look forward to seeing your Heritage posts. When I came back to the hobby I didn't understand why we needed a set like Heritage, but I've come around the last couple of years. The cards look great from what I have seen on Ebay. You're correct... your Bryant IS better looking.

    1969 is also the year I first started collecting baseball cards too (now I'm only a few cards away from completing that set). Maybe for that reason I love the design and was also looking forward to 2018 Heritage (I pretty much ignored Heritage before thia year). I've busted two boxes and I'm still in the process of scanning and sorting for my blog. I do really like this product but it could have been done a wee bit better. This is a really tough set to complete but I'm going to see if I can complete it in the next 5 to 20 years, lol.

    I love your idea of putting in the older stadium in the background!
