Three Boos For The 2019 Topps Heritage High Numbers Rookie Cards!
I went down to the local card shop not too long ago and purchased some packs of the 2019 Topps Heritage High Number issue. This annual set features today’s players on the card format that was used fifty years ago. This year the set uses the 1970 format. Last year
Boo!
Major League Baseball has for many years awarded Topps a monopoly to print baseball cards with a team’s logo and name. So where does that leave the other guys? In my opinion, in a bad place. If other companies want to issue baseball cards, they may not show the logo

Significant on-field player accomplishments are captured on a baseball card that is available on line at the Topps website for twenty-four hours only. Topps then prints the exact number ordered for
The Tristar Show Is In The Books
By the time it was over I was pretty tired. It takes a lot of energy to look through thousands of cards over the course of three days. I’m looking for cards for myself and for my baseball card trading friends, but I’m also a collector committed to completing a
