2025 Topps Heritage Hanger Box

2025 HeritageSalvador Perez has struggled this season but he's a five-time Gold Glove winner, 9X All-Star, 5X Silver Slugger, Clemente Award winner, and World Series MVP.  He also led the league in home runs and runs batted in in 2021.  His work behind the plate and as a hitting catcher may well put him in the Hall of Fame someday.
We revisit the '76 Topps design in this year's set.  I like it here.  I'm not necessarily a big fan of the designs from the 70s and prior but this one isn't too bad on new wax.
We get our young players including Darren Baker on a hanger box exclusive Light Purple Parallel.
I pulled two record breakers.  I like them.  They and other subsets within the 500-card base set are nods to some of the same subsets seen in the '76 set.
I like these cards.  Fun, and as a longtime fan of the sport I see more and more sons of players I watched 20+ years ago every year.
Three Chrome inserts including a Burgundy Sparkle Parallel.  I like the look of that parallel.  Sonny Gray is a Holo Foil Parallel.
Fernando Tatis Jr. is having a great start to the 2025 season.  The backs of the cards are fun but without proper lighting they are hard to read.
Three League Leader cards which are great.  I like the photos, layout and stats.  The backs give us the leaders in the stat for each year.  I love that.
Fun box of cards.  Not sure if I grab more of these from retail but I can see myself picking off singles.

  1. I do like this year's Heritage but 1976 is a special year since it is when I was born. There are nice subsets that I think I am going to try to tackle; All Time All Stars and Father and Sons plus the players I collect. That Tatis Jr is a great looking card!

    1. I really like the Tatis Jr. And with it being your birth year, heck yeah you should go after some of the cards.

    2. I had given thought to pursuing the set but for now I will stick to cards of my team and player collections and the two subsets.
