Description

2003 Topps Heritage is a 430-card set, designed to honor the 1954 Topps set, and was released in February, 2003.

Distribution

Hobby/Retail: 24 packs per box, eight cards plus one stick of gum per pack (MSRP $3).

Blasters: 11 packs per box, eight cards plus one stick of gum per pack. (MSRP: $29.99).
