One of Topps’ most anticipated releases of the year, 2024 Topps Heritage, is in stores now. This year’s release takes collectors back to a classic set and the most imaginative design from a decade of simple designs that ranged from iconic to downright boring.
The first half of the decade featured iconic single-color designs in 1970 (gray), 1971 (black), and 1973 (white), as well as the 1972 picture frame design. The second half of the decade led to Topps using mostly white designs with splashes of other colors for mostly forgettable products.
However, 1975 gave collectors a product with an imaginative and bright two-toned product in a set that features several baseball icons—filled with legends like Hank Aaron, Bob Gibson, Al Kaline, and Brooks Robinson, rising stars like Mike Schmidt and Dave Winfield, and rookie cards of future Hall of Famers Gary Carter, George Brett, Robin Yount, and Jim Rice, as well as Mets legend Keith Hernandez.
For Mets fans, the 1975 product featured Mets legends Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Jon Matlack, Tug McGraw, Rusty Staub, Ed Kranepool, Cleon Jones, and many more.
The 2024 Topps Heritage product resurrects the colorful designs of 1975 while ushering in the biggest and brightest in today’s game. The Topps Heritage set is a 500-card set that is structured differently than its previous iterations. In previous products, short print cards made up the final 100 cards in the set; however, Topps flipped it around and decided to begin the 2024 set with the first 100 cards being the short prints. For the Mets, you can find short prints of Kodai Senga and the first Mets card of Luis Severino in the first 100 cards.
As with other Topps Heritage products, you can expect to find the insert sets New Age Performers and Then & Now, which pairs former and current stars together. And of course, there are plenty of certified autographs and memorabilia cards.
