Heritage 2019 and Topps 1970 Side By Side
Each year I like to compare the Heritage set side by side with it's original counterpart. Each year I get disappointed at how Topps couldn't quite match things up. There has to be some reason for not making exact duplicates. The reason, though, escapes me.

The infielders Since there is no card for Addison Russell, I put Zobrist at second and Baez at short.

The starting pitchers... The '70 team was a little thin once you got past the big three at the top.
The bullpen Its nice to be able to pair Abernathy and Cishek together, since they are both submariners.
The rookies This Kosman is happy any time he can show a Cosman card.
The All Stars Topps and the Sporting News worked out a deal so that the Heritage cards can use the SN name... nice!

I really like the Hendricks card, and it is nice to have spring training pictures, rather than all Shea Stadium backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the oversight of the center-justified names on some of them, I think they did pretty good this time. Every name should be aligned with the left border and every position should be in line with the right border.
ReplyDeleteThink Heritage did pretty well this year ... The fact that they banned Addison Russell from the set rubs me the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the little white vertical line between the name and position? Seems to be on some of the Heritage and one of the originals?
ReplyDeleteThe 1970 set didn't have the white line until the second series. Heritage duplicated that with the lower numbered cards.
