Topps/Bowman Heritage Parallel/Subsets For Sale/Trade

[Tere1071]

There is a debate of what constitutes a Master set. Usually, it's the 1- last card in the set. The insert sets that are accepted as part of the Master set are:

Now & Then
Then & Now
Rookie Performers
New Age Performers
The Combo cards are sometimes considered to be part of a Master set, but when I bought my Master sets they were never included as they're usually issued with the high numbers.

The other inserts are considered to be extra sets as they change from year to year. They are modeled after the original insert sets, or they include a newer version of one of their additional sets that were never inserts, i.e. the Super cards for the 2019 and 2020 sets were patterned after the 1970 & 71 Super sets that were sold separately; I used to buy them as a kid and I still have my 1970 Clemente Super as a relic from my childhood.

Then starting with the 2011 set and continuing each year since 2015 are the Tribute sets: last year was Mays and this year will be Clemente.

Next are the various box toppers, some of which are 1 of 1's. There are collectors who would consider that as part of a Master set, but the likelihood of someone acquiring all of the box topper cards may be unlikely, but it gives that special collector a goal to achieve.

This list is getting long so I'll just mention the various Chrome set, variations, invented sets, errors, autographs... I think you have the idea.

All of these are usually sold separately from the standard Master set as their cost can be considerable depending on the difficulty and popularity of each set. I never went to that extreme with my sets as many of those extras held no appeal.

I'm glad that you're satisfied with the set, thank you. I'll change the wording in the post to indicate what comprises a Master set and why other subsets are being sold separately.

Take care and happy collecting!
