We haven’t seen the last of Heritage this season. 2016 Topps Heritage High Number Baseball will make its entrance just as the season is preparing its exit, with 24 nine-card packs per box.
Heritage High will again pick up where the main set left off. Cards will be numbered 501-725 with the last 25 cards short printed, including a few key rookies like Nomar Mazara and Max Kepler. Each box should have eight SPs so completing a set shouldn’t be a huge challenge. There will be 15 action variations and 25 team name color variations to chase if you’re so inclined.  A full checklist has been released and is available below.
There will be some base parallels also including Red Backs, Gum Stain Backs, Flip stock (cards are printed with the stock flipped so the fronts feel like the backs and 
vice-versa and 50 Mini Base card numbered to 100 each. In addition, 50 cards will be printed on chrome technology with white borders and sequentially numbered to 999. Those Chrome cards will have Refractor parallels numbered to 567, Black Border parallels numbered to 67 and Gold Borders numbered to just 5. Hot Box Refractors will be found only in Hot Boxes.
Each box of 2016 Topps Heritage High Numbers will have one autograph or relic card.
Topps is promising all autographs will be signed on card, rather than on stickers. Real One Autographs 
will include both active and retired players. Real One Special Edition autos will be signed in red and hand numbered to 67. Real One Dual autos will have two players’ autographs and will be numbered to 25.
Among the autographs inside 2016 Topps Heritage High Number baseball are Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Rod Carew, Carl Yastrzemski, Reggie Jackson, Ichiro, Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Mazara and several other rookies.
