2008 Topps Heritage

This has been a work in progress since its release. I think I have found all the variations and insert cards. I did not include advertising panels or buy back cards. Everything else is pretty much fair game.

The thing that surprised me the most is that there are no White Sox chrome cards. If there are any, I haven't found any evidence of them. There are no wild variations like the Johan Santana and John Smoltz cards. There is only one short print in the base set. That would be Jose Contreras.

The White Sox have 15 cards in the regular set. There are also 4 different cards with the black back variation. The complete regular set with short print cards is numbered to 500. There are 110 of those cards with black back variations.

Surprisingly, the White Sox seem to have a fairly strong checklist. I'm not certain why Jerry Owens has two cards. The 1959 version of the set lists Jim Davenport of the Giants as card number 198 and Luis Aparicio of the White Sox as card number 310. So, I'm guessing it's not an oddity from the 1959 set.

I really should mention how much I love these cards. I swore that I wouldn't collect sets anymore, but this set is begging to be collected. I have decided to collect the whole shebang. This will probably be the last post directed twoards this 2008 Heritage set. At least for awhile. Everyone seems to be doing posts on this set right now. I wanted to wait on this set review until I was positive on the checklist. I'm glad I waited.
