The Review
I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
Things I like about 2008 Topps Heritage
- The design
- The
one-per-boxevery-other-box buybacks - Fewer short-prints
- Fewer cards than 1959 Topps
- The one-per-pack black-back variations
- The advertising panel chiptoppers
- No mirrors
- No Mickey Mantle overload

Can you save some of this year's A-Rod parallels for us! The buy-backs aren't one-per box because I opened a hobby box last week and didn't get one. I did get a dual-relic, so it's all good.
Ha! Ha! Your redemption card is shittier than mine! Ya beat me on the buyback card and the advertising panel though.
Even though dayf thnks your redemption is shitty, I think it's OK. Just as long as Topps doesn't airbrush Podsednik into a Rockies uniform.
