Fun with 2013 Topps Heritage: Something Smells Bad

Today is a new day and I'm still not a fan of Topps Heritage of any year.  I know there are some people who probably won't even look at this post because the first Fun with 2013 Topps Heritage post got my blog unfollowed!  Anyways, if you like Heritage, good for you, collect what you like, just save your Orioles for me!  I just wish that Topps would put out one reprint design set a year. Archives would be my choice because they do several different designs.  That would open up a "spot" to bring back Stadium Club with the full bleed photo cards.  Topps doesn't have a non-premium, non-bordered set that I know of.  If I'm wrong, please correct me!
Anyways, while searching for 2013 Topps Heritage Nick Markakis cards, I noticed in both his Relic and Base cards, it looks like he got a good whiff of JJ Hardy's cleats.  Take a look:



At first look, I thought it was the same pose used for both cards but he doesn't have a bat on his shoulder on the base card!  Put your damn shoes back on James Jerry!

  1. Nothing wrong with getting annoyed with the abundance of reprint sets. I prefer Archives myself for the same reason, though I don't dislike Heritage--I'm just not as much of a fan either. And I completely agree that Topps should bring back Stadium Club to replace some of their crap and overpriced sets, so I'm glad to know that I'm on the same page as someone else.
