2016 Topps Heritage High Number Baseball Hobby Box
What are these options?
- Hobby Box
- The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
- Blaster Box
- The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.
- Cases
- The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.

Frequently asked
Who's 2016 Topps Heritage High Number for?
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
What are the key rookie cards in this product?
The marquee rookies are Willson Contreras (#505), Julio Urias (#600), Lucas Giolito (#514), Jeimer Candelario (#507), and several others. High Number catches late-season debuts that the main Heritage set missed, so it's the place to find these guys.
How many autographs or relics will I get per box?
You're guaranteed one autograph or relic card per hobby box. That could be a Real One Autograph, a Clubhouse Collection relic, or one of the special cut signature cards.
What's the deal with the short-printed base cards?
The final 25 cards in the set (#701-725) are short-printed and show up at a rate of 1:3 packs. They're tougher to pull than the regular base cards, so they carry a bit more value.
What parallels are available in High Number?
You've got Red Back, Gum Damage Back (hobby only), Flip Stock (hobby only), Mini Base (numbered to 100), and Chrome (numbered to 999 with Refractor, Black, and Gold parallels). The Gum Damage Back even has a scratch-and-sniff effect that smells like old-school gum.
Are there any special inserts I should know about?
Yes. Rookie Performers highlight top 2016 rookies, Now and Then pairs current players with 1967 counterparts, Combo Cards focus on specific teams, and Award Winners spotlight 2015 hardware winners. Box loaders include 1967 Ad Panels, stamped Topps Originals buybacks, and Punchboards.
How does the design look?
High Number sticks with the classic 1967 Topps design, just like the main Heritage release. It's a retro look that appeals to collectors who love the vintage aesthetic.
What's the set size?
High Number adds 225 new cards to the product, numbered 501-725. Combined with the main Heritage set, you get a full 725-card checklist for the year.
