Will there be a 2023 Topps Heritage set?

I have no idea. At one point I thought I would stop at 1972, but decided I would go until 1975 if I and the line get that far. While I have all the regular sets before and after that date they just don’t have the same appeal to me beyond 1975. But I am sure younger collectors probably feel differently.

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding, but I think you are asking due to the Fanatics license.

To that end, the best answer for all Topps products is “no one has any idea”. I do not know if the Fanatics deal with Topps included the past product design. If not, I would think Heritage comes to a logical end. If it does, then more than likely Heritage or a similar product will come back.

With all the uncertainty caused by the new agreements, it seems understandable that no announcement would take place until the semantics are ironed out and Fanatics discloses a semblance of a business plan.

Justin, yes the changes last year with licensing and Fanatics and Topps makes me wonder what is happening with the Heritage set. Usually by now there would be information about the new set somewhere online, but I don't find anything when I do a search which makes me think that there is no Heritage set being released this year.

Yes, in the complete seeming vacuum of information I have seen. Even, with the rights a full year off would not be surprising.

Maybe, they also have a tad of logic and understand the saturation and overproduction of the past 5 years and are doing marketing analysis. Hopefully…

Although I like the 50s and 60s sets, the 70s were when I came into collecting and the 75-78 run is my favorite. Would be cool to see them through that time frame.

I really enjoy the autographs of common players theme. Topps didn't issue a Wes Parker, which for whatever reason why not, is a huge bummer for me. One of the few long time Dodgers that doesn't seem to have a pack issued autograph.

I don't see any reason why there wouldn't be. I like Heritage, although there are two big things I hate about it: they should have started a year later, so they could advertise the cards as having 'today's stars in the classic designs of 50 years ago' as opposed to the reality of the designs being 49 years old - and, all the photos appear to be from Spring Training, whereas I'd prefer more photos taken inside actual Major League ballparks.

The odds Fanatics kills heritage is extremely low. It’s one of the most profitable products. There’s no reason to think it’s dead.
