2013 Topps Heritage Baseball Forum

I came across this card topps 2013 heritage with a black back. I didn’t see anything listed as a parallel even using the advanced search. Anyone have a clue what this is from?

Pretty sure it’s the Venezuelan version: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/78527/cid/5570094/2013-Topps-Heritage---Venezuelan-184-Franklin-Gutierrez

Concur. The original '64 Venezuelan had the same black backs. 

It is indeed Venezuelan back

I don’t ever recall seeing a complete Venezuelan heritage/archives series.  Was this special to the Venezuelan or South American market or some super obscure American parallel?  I’ve seen inserts from old stickers and so forth, but nothing like this set. Although I’m somewhat new to the game my general PC focuses heavily on these Archives, heritage, traditional, vintage, etc type collections of Topps and the lesser brands (Fleer Trad UD etc) and this is totally new set that I’m unfamiliar with. Thanks. Randy

The latter: obscure parallel set.

BaseballCardPedia lists the odds as 1:47 retail/hobby packs.

The only reason I had a guess of what it was is because I'm on the lookout for a card from the original 1964 Topps Venezuelan set. It's cool that Topps Heritage turned the concept into a parallel for this year.

So they might do like 100 total complete sets or something like that?  Would it be possible to even collect the full parallel set without it being a full time job?  When I consider what I did get (and more important what I didn’t get) with the 3-4 hobby boxes of Archives/heritage I’ve ripped lately plus the many more retail blasters of ALL kinds I wonder how much guys have to go thru to assemble the various colors of sparkle refractors and such. Either they are getting much different boxes than I or they are ordering truck load quantities. It makes my understanding of what I can legitimately Pursue on my own much bleaker. Thanks. Randy.  

Looks like 500 complete sets.  

And agree, this would be very difficult to complete, next to impossible just by buying and opening product and hoping for the best

Myself, I like most parallels but I don't look to complete those sets like I do with base sets.

"Either they are getting much different boxes than I or they are ordering truck load quantities".  Or buying individual cards on ebay/comc/etc.
