Opening Sealed Product-2021 Topps Heritage

-

 I went back to the well that has been Topps Heritage product, as I have outlined many times on this blog that for whatever reason my luck with this set has been pretty good. I saw a hobby box of 2021 high numbered Heritage for sale for under $60 so took another shot. I received a mini Salvador Perez /100, a silver chrome Trevor Larnach rookie card /572, and a Hunter Renfroe base chrome /999. On top of that, I hit on another autograph rather than a memorabilia card again, which is what I prefer. To make the hit even better, for the second consecutive hobby box I pulled a Hall of Famer. This time, it was the "Dominican Dandy" and former Giants' pitcher Juan Marichal.

I had previously sent in a successful through the mail request to Mr. Marichal at the beginning of 2021, so this is the second signed Marichal card I own. Again, I really like the look of these cards signed. Vintage style cards are nice, and this is a remake of the 1972 set. I've had so much success with Heritage that I am tempted to try again.

 One of the notoriously tough autographs to get among all modern era sports figures, I saw recently that John Stockton was going to be doing an ultra rare signing. After looking at the prices, I decided that they were on the pricey side, so instead looked into getting a card off eBay. It is often the case that signings are more expensive than getting an auto card from Panini or Topps, etc. because you can send in exactly what you want to get signed. I don't typically complain about pricing for signings, but I did observe that the cost to send in my own card was 4-5x what buying a John Stockton signed card off eBay would cost. Therefore, I found a fairly priced one and went that direction.  As you can see, I went with an Obsidian auto and this particular card is numbered /35.

 My Hall of Fame and elite quarterback train is still steaming along, as I just added a signed John Elway card to my collection. This card comes from 2023 Prestige football, is numbered /25. I saw that a lot of people were having a lot of luck with their hits in Prestige megas in retail, though the few boxes I opened were crap. I jumped into the eBay market to get this card, as card prices have come down and you can get some of these all time greats for much less than even a year ago. Honestly, I bought this card for the price of two mega boxes, so I'm not sure what I'm even doing buying sealed product in the first place.

 Much like the Dan Marino and John Elway autos I have posted about recently, I also acquired a Joe Montana Panini autographed card.  Like the Marino card, this is also a blue cracked ice numbered /75. Of the big name, all tike great QB's in the league, I believe the only one I might be missing still is Tom Brady. It might be a while yet before I find a way to get something he signed into my collection.
