2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box Break #2: Another Look at Classic Collecting

The 2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box provides baseball card collectors with an exciting blend of retro design and modern-day hits. Inspired by the classic 1970 Topps Baseball set, this Mega Box combines nostalgia with the thrill of pulling Chrome parallels, short prints, and rare rookie cards. In this blog, we’ll take a deep dive into our second Mega Box break, discussing key highlights, notable pulls, and what makes this box a must-have for both new and seasoned collectors.

The Unique Appeal of the 2019 Topps Heritage Set

One of the most appealing aspects of the 2019 Topps Heritage series is its tribute to the 1970s era of baseball card collecting. Featuring gray borders, minimalistic fonts, and simple player poses, this set stands out in a market filled with glossy, action-packed designs. The vintage aesthetic draws long-time collectors who remember the original set, while new collectors appreciate its nostalgic charm.

However, this Mega Box isn’t just about the design—it’s packed with exciting modern elements like Chrome parallels, short prints, and exclusive inserts. The set strikes a perfect balance between honoring baseball card history and providing current collectors with plenty of valuable and rare cards to chase.

Inside the Box: What Makes the 2019 Heritage Mega Box Special

Opening a 2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box means uncovering a wide range of card types, from base cards featuring baseball’s stars to rare Chrome parallels and autograph cards. Each Mega Box contains 15 packs and an exclusive bonus pack of three Heritage Chrome cards.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

• Base Cards: The core of this set includes today’s biggest names and some rising stars, all captured in the retro 1970 design.

• Chrome Parallels: These are the highlight of every box break, offering shiny, modern versions of the base cards. In our break, we pulled a Yoan Moncada numbered to 570 and a Josh Bell Chrome numbered to 999, adding significant value and excitement to the break.

• Short Prints and Variations: The Heritage set is known for its short prints and image variations, and we were fortunate enough to uncover a few during this break. These cards often go unnoticed on the first run-through, making them an exciting surprise later on.

• Inserts and Relics: Among the surprises in each box are inserts such as New Age Performers, Clubhouse Collection Relics, and Real One Autographs. These are often rare and can feature autographs from both baseball legends and current stars.

Key Pulls from the 2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box Break

Our second 2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box Break delivered some great hits, with notable Chrome cards and a variety of rookie and short-print cards making it a memorable experience. Let’s take a closer look at the key pulls:

• Yoan Moncada Chrome Card: Numbered to 570, this card stood out not only because of its sleek Chrome finish but also for its rarity. Chrome parallels are always a highlight, especially when they feature popular players like Moncada.

• Josh Bell Chrome: Numbered to 999, this was another excellent pull that adds considerable value to the break. Chrome parallels numbered under 1000 are highly sought after by collectors and are a great addition to any set.

• Glaber Torres Fabric Sticker Card: One of the more unique finds in the break was a Glaber Torres All-Star rookie card featuring a fabric sticker. This card added a cool twist to the box and is a great collectible for fans of Torres.

What Sets This Break Apart?

The second 2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box Break built on the excitement of our first box, with its mix of base cards, rookie stars, and rare Chrome parallels. However, what really sets this break apart is the combination of short prints, rookie cards, and the exclusive Heritage Chrome pack. Pulling three numbered Chrome cards—including a Yoan Moncada and Josh Bell—made this break particularly rewarding.

In addition to the Chrome cards, the sheer volume of rookie cards and short prints added a lot of value. The thrill of discovering rare short prints and fabric sticker cards made this box break a fantastic experience for collectors looking for unique pieces.

Tips for Collecting the 2019 Topps Heritage Set

If you’re considering adding the 2019 Topps Heritage Mega Box to your collection, here are a few tips to help you maximize your experience:

1. Pay Attention to Short Prints: Short prints and image variations are subtle, so make sure to double-check your cards after the break. These rare cards can often go unnoticed but add significant value to your collection.

2. Protect Your Chrome Cards: Chrome parallels are highly collectible, and their shiny surfaces are prone to damage. Be sure to store them in protective sleeves and top-loaders to keep them in mint condition.

3. Look Out for Key Rookies: While the set pays homage to the past, it also includes cards featuring modern-day stars and rookies like Pete Alonso, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. These rookies are highly sought after and can become valuable additions to your collection.

4. Join Collector Communities: Engaging with other collectors online can help you stay up-to-date on market trends, trade cards, and learn more about the value of your collection. Social media platforms and forums are great places to share your hits and connect with fellow collectors.
