Looks like a few lucky collectors (or dealers) have 2020 Topps Heritage a few days ahead of the official release date.  There are a few cards out there including this Ohtani card:

and this Devers red ink auto.

2019 Topps Heritage High Numbers Is Live...Fernando Tatis Jr. Cards Are On Fire!!!

Fernando Tatis Jr. cards might be hotter than Fernando Valuenzuala rookie cards were back in the early 80's.  These auctions are not over yet and the chrome card is up to $61 and the action image variation card is up $77.  Will be interesting to see what they finish at.

The Bank of Ohtani

Wowza, some lucky collector pulled a 2018 Bowman Ohtani Superfractor Auto and did it ever pay off. You could pick up a pretty nice '52 Mantle for this, but if someone is willing to pay this much they probably have enough to buy the Mantle as well!

I Knew Shipping Costs Have Been Increasing But Wowza!!!

All of us collectors know that shipping prices have been steadily increasing over the past few years.  And sometimes the price can vary greatly depending on the shipping company.  Just this week I sold off most of my brothers old collection of complete sets which amounted to over 80 pounds (36kg) and one major shipper was going to charge $99 while another major shipper was charging $60.  But I have to wonder if this ebay seller is really needs this much for shipping six low dollar cards?

Holy Shipping

Thanks For Bidding. Your Prize...An Empty Box!!!

Ran across this strange auction the other day.  Not sure why someone would sell empty boxes.  I always recycle mine.  Not sure why someone would buy empty boxes unless they did not read the title of the auction...and did not read the item description.  Or perhaps Topps has a promotion going where you can redeem Topps Heritage box UPC's for some special set, but I have not heard of anything like that for 2018 Topps Heritage.  Very strange unless I'm missing something.

Wow...Ohtani Red Ink vs Mortgage Payment!!!

Holy cow!  There are two 2018 Topps Heritage Real One red ink auto's going in auctions right now on eBay and one is at $2,500 over four days left!  The other one...it's almost twice that amount with three days left.  Those prices would cover most mortgage payments in the USA (including taxes and insurance escrow)!
