Random Card of the Day

Year: 2011

Set: Topps Heritage (Rate)

Card: #168 Rajai Davis


“ I never collected the Heritage Cards, but I love looking at cards from the original Topps set with this design. To me, it feels sacrilegious to put the modern players in the old designs, I feel that they are sacred to those players and those times, but if you are into these, there aren't many set designs to bring back better than this one. ” -muskie027

“ I just scanned three cards from this set today- (12/31/16, as I have not gone to bed yet) the first time I had ever done that as I just got them in November. They were already done on the Database but I needed to fill a page of old school brown cardboard. I like the design. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I like Topps Heritage and especially the '62 design. The netting and seats in the background looked like a weird design at first. ” -joshthurman

“ The epitome of nostalgia - Topps Heritage. Someone in this community of collectors referred me to them and I have been sold ever since. Any set, any sport. They are my favorites. ” -Sportzcommish

“ Terrible design the first time around. ” -cjjt

“ My general rule...if it's Heritage, then it's good.....I love all the Heritage sets....this is my least favorite, but that has more to do with the fact that the 1962 set is one of my least favorites. Always loved Rajai...he had a good season or two with the A's. ” -tbshaw

“ Love woody's! ” -carthage44

“ Another great year of heritage. Always loved this set apart for a few annoying tidbits. The 2013 design was awful, unlike the 2011 one here. Also, the stats for the 2016 set did not include "games," which is vital to my sorting system. Otherwise though, there are the wonderful sets like this one. ” -DarkSide830

“ Oh, if only there had been one more runner on base... ” -switzr1

“ I love the Heritage sets. You can't go wrong with the classic '62 design! Rajai is the "almost" hero for Cleveland in game 7. That was a monster home run in a classic game! ” -cckeith

I'm just not sure about the Heritage sets. I think I agree with Muskie027. Those designs belong with those players in the past. It takes away from the novelty of the old sets. New designs for new players. Be creative! 

That said, new collectors should maybe have access to the cool old designs if they can't afford actual vintage. And I went and bought all the new Gypsy Queen sets last year. 

Conclusion: nah, I don't like the Heritage sets unless the original design is over 100 years old. I have spoken.

I agree with Muskie027 and Vvvergeer.   I love the original set but am not a fan of the Heritage.

Here! Here! I say you're all correct. Old players with old designs.

Sorry, love love love the Heritage sets. Most modern designs are awful, unreadable and completely distracting.

These comments here are what makes this hobby so much fun. One person loves Heritage sets, another hates that they're re-using old designs with newer players, etc. It just shows that there is something for everyone out there, and we all aren't going to like the same thing. What a fun hobby.

The 1962 design is one of favorites. I do like the heritage sets, but would like them done once e ery three years.
