Topps Heritage Cut Signature Reverse Auction

Craig over at mybaseballcardblog is running what I call a reverse auction. This is when the card is listed as a buy it now and the seller lowers the price every day (or some set interval of time) until the card finally sells. Thus kind of like a poker game, you have to decide if you want to buy the card now, or wait for a lower price...but risk the card getting bought by another buyer if the price gets too low. I have used thus reverse auction strategy before, but never on a card of this magnatude. Craig is running this on a one of one Topps Heritage Cut Signature card! Check it out:

I can wait to see what some of the numbered Harper inserts go for.  I'm hoping to pull one of the gold border refractors that are numbered out of five!  Or wouldn't mind this one either!

2013 Topps Heritage is Live!!!

Wow, retail has hit the shelves a few days before hobby the past few years, but this is a whole week early.  And it's a purple refractor of Jeter!  There are some others as well, all look to be from Oregon or California so far.  Guess I'm going to have to start hitting the local Target's and Walmart's!  Here is the listing on eBay and a pic.

Houston...We Have a Problem

Craig has the 2013 Topps Heritage checklist broken down by team, and Astros fans are sure to be disappointed.  It's not enough that Astros fans will have to watch their team play in the offensively powerful American League now, and in the same division as the offensive juggernaut lineups of the Rangers and Angels, but Astros fans will not have much to look forward to according to the 2013 Topps Heritage Houston Astros team checklist.  Other than two Colt .45 Real One Autograph cards and the Colt .45 uniform variation card of each Astros player in the base set, there is not a single Houston insert card!  No chromes, no New Age Performers, no Clubhouse Collection relics, nothing other than those two Colt 45 auto's.  The curse of Enron lives on!  Just another problem for the team I used to call my favorite National League team (I was born in Houston and have lived there several times).

2013 Topps Heritage Sets Tougher To Complete

The past few years, one of the most challenging parts of completing a basic Topps Heritage master set (base set, short prints and the 3/4/5 primary insert sets) was completing the 15 card New Age Performers set.  Well according to this checklist, the New Age Performers set is doubling in size to 30 cards this year!  I have not had time to look completely over the entire checklist yet, but looks like the Real One Autos have some nice Hall of Famers like Bob Gibson, Frank Robinson, Stan Musial and Willie Mays.  Plus there are mini cards this year!  I will have to investigate this further tonight.
