REVIEW:2018 Topps Heritage Minors

The Part 3 of sorts of the Topps Heritage family line every year, Minors just hit the streets providing you prospects with a glance at that 1969 Topps design.

How did my break go? Let's check it out!

In every box of 2018 Topps Heritage Minors, there are 18 packs of 8 cards each. Boxes come with one on-card autograph and one memorabilia card per. Boxes run $65 per roughly. So not too shabby. You are also promised an autograph vs the major league edition which you don't find those very often. At least I don't.

Also in each box, are these all gloss parallel packs, the blue one.

Inside are three glossy parallels. Nice find here with Royce Lewis.

The base card set is done in the 1969 Topps design just like the major league Heritage. There are 200 cards in the prospect set with all of the big names.

In the base set as well are these two subsets. League Leaders and

The Topps News which looks great.

Just like the Heritage Major League edition, there are Sp's to find.

They end in CMP code 81

Other CMP codes to watch out for are,
  • Base ends in 467
  • Image Variations ends in 482
  • Circle Color Variations ends in 483
Also new to this release are the actual words of what variation it is. Amazing!!! You can find it right here in the writing of the Topps logo including the Short Prints. Hope they continue this with all releases moving forward!


Along with the Glossy parallels, there are magenta backs. Yes, make sure you watch your "backs" that fall 1:40 packs.


and There are also Black border /50 that fall 1:40 packs.

Other parallels to find are, Team Color Change /25 and Red 1/1.

Inserts are Deckle Edge with 18 cards to chase,

1969 Collector Cards that have 20 cards in the set,

And making your Pro Debut chance with two of these cards falling per box,

Now onto my hits,

My first one was this 1969 Mint Nickel pull of Hunter Greene. Well, it was one my wife found. We work on these together and she was like why is there is coin in here? I explained it was a 1969 coin due to the design of the overall product. She thought it was a cool hit along with me.

My autograph find was a black border /50 of Sam Carlson.
Other hits I couldn't get but you could are,
  • Base Image Variation Autographs
  • Dual Autographs
  • 1969 Deckle Edge Autograph (Black/White)
  • 1969 Mint Coin Relic Autograph
  • Bazooka Autographs
  • Clubhouse Collection Relics
OVERALL: Not a bad overall price for a box with plenty of bigger hits to be chased down. My box was a little weak on the hits side besides the fairly nice minted coin hit. At least I did find two /50 cards.

I say if you are a prospector and with all of the big names in the product, there isn't really a huge gamble here for the price. Go give it a try.

Please make sure to take a minute out to thank Topps for providing this box for me to review and to be able to add cards to a future promo.  Follow Topps on all social media sites and visit their SITE, as well.
