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.
