Always check the code on the back of the card in the super tiny print to find out. But then again, sometimes even those codes are the same...

So you have to look at the visual checklists like the ones on baseballcardpedia.com to make sure you have the right versions.

I found you need about three different sources to get full lists, especially if you just collect a specific team or player. Topps really went overkill on the variations and extras starting about 6-7 years ago and hasn't let up.

I'm mainly a vintage collector, but would love to collect Heritage. I love that the cards are actual cardboard. In fact, I actually started putting some of the sets together. But, I just got completely annoyed with the artificial scarcity of the high number short prints. When I multiplied out what I would need to finish a Heritage set, I decided I could better use that money on my vintage set building. So, I just stopped and haven't really looked back. I've occasionally bought a blaster or two the last few years, but no serious collecting.

I still have several 800 count boxes of the early Heritage cards that I keep meaning to sell, but have never gotten around to it.

I just started the 2012 Heritage set. I traded two people for sps and NAPs so far. I'm collecting the 2012 set, because it covers the 1963 Topps set. 1963 was the year I was born.

That is a great Heritage set! It's one I don't currently have, but I hope to someday. Good luck!
