But what will collectors find in 2024 Topps Heritage High Number? What is the release date and format? What are the hits? And are these retro-themed cards worth pretending it’s still 2024 for?

2024 Topps Heritage High Number is a retro-themed update set that’s a bit late on the scene. But are they a good candidate to buy-and-hold unopened?
Let’s look at recent comp prices for hobby boxes from the last few years to see what they can suggest about the potential for this release.
Shop for 2024 Topps Heritage High Number boxes on eBay
| Year | Recent Hobby Box Comp Price |
|---|---|
| 2024 | $125-135 |
| 2023 | $50-55 |
| 2022 | $70-90 |
| 2021 | $45-55 |
With a buy-in price at least double the previous year, and recent boxes selling for relatively low prices, these don’t feel like a good candidate to buy and hold unopened. Hobby boxes from prior years seem to be plentiful and affordable, which could make for fun low-priced breaks if the mood hits you.
What about in terms of singles? What can a look at recent singles sales from 2023 Topps Heritage High Number tell us about the potential for 2024?
The high water mark was an Anthony Volpe Real One Auto Red Ink /74 in PSA 9, which sold for around $450. A JJ BLEDAY Gold Chrome Refractor SSP /5 sold for $400. Blue Autographs of Bryce Harper sold for $275, $300 and $350 at different times. A Trea Turner Gold Chrome Refractor /5 sold for $300.
Prices go down from there. The high end isn’t very high, but with boxes being fairly low-cost, this isn’t out of line with what expectations should be for a product of this type.
Every product has pros and cons when deciding whether to purchase or break them. What are some of the pros and cons of 2024 Topps Heritage High Number?
