Will there be a 2023 Topps Heritage set?

[jayshum]

Does anyone know if there will be a 2023 Topps Heritage set coming out? If there is going to be one, I can't find anything online about it.

I would hope so. Why would they stop at a 1973 design? Let's keep it going!

[ALR-bishop]

I have no idea. At one point I thought I would stop at 1972, but decided I would go until 1975 if I and the line get that far. While I have all the regular sets before and after that date they just don’t have the same appeal to me beyond 1975. But I am sure younger collectors probably feel differently.

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding, but I think you are asking due to the Fanatics license.

To that end, the best answer for all Topps products is “no one has any idea”. I do not know if the Fanatics deal with Topps included the past product design. If not, I would think Heritage comes to a logical end. If it does, then more than likely Heritage or a similar product will come back.

With all the uncertainty caused by the new agreements, it seems understandable that no announcement would take place until the semantics are ironed out and Fanatics discloses a semblance of a business plan.

Justin, yes the changes last year with licensing and Fanatics and Topps makes me wonder what is happening with the Heritage set. Usually by now there would be information about the new set somewhere online, but I don't find anything when I do a search which makes me think that there is no Heritage set being released this year.

Yes, in the complete seeming vacuum of information I have seen. Even, with the rights a full year off would not be surprising.

Maybe, they also have a tad of logic and understand the saturation and overproduction of the past 5 years and are doing marketing analysis. Hopefully…

Looks like the 2023 Topps Heritage set is happening with a scheduled release date of May 31.

Yes, looks like a fun set! I'm toying with breaking a box!

Is it just me, or does the sample base card have much thicker white borders than the original design? Not a problem, just jumped out at me looking at the sell sheet.

Heritage is a really fun rip once the boxes go below $60. I'll probably do 3 boxes 8 months after release. I haven't got the 2022's yet, but 73-74 aren't my favorite designs. Next year's will be a lot of fun.

Usually I can get Minors and Hi Series at the prince range you mentioned. I would love/have loved to gotten a base box for that $60 level as I think it's not been available at that price point since 2017

I got 2020 and 2021 at $60 a box with patience at shows. Sometimes a bit lower via distributors, but $60 is doable most years.

Minors falls below $60 within weeks of release. Hi gets there 3-4 months after release. Those are often in the $40-$50 range.

Maybe 50 year old Topps cards are supposed to have borders that wide. Perhaps trimming is more common than any of us could have ever imagined...
