Description

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

As has now become custom, some cards were issued with variations; either a 1954-era logo or a black background. Cards 364 on up were short printed as well. In a nod to the 1954 set, Alex Rodriguez had both cards 1 and 250; just as Ted Williams had in the original 1954 Topps set.

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