New Topps Heritage update a mixed blessing.
Topps expanding the Heritage brand to issue a separate update wave of 24-pack full boxes covering traded and rookie players is a mixed blessing. Topps has annually expanded the print run of its' Heritage update to the point where collectors need to be concerned if Topps is simply allowing the presses to run to maximize their profits on what has become their flagship "base" brand for baseball cards.
Beyond concerns about over-production, the initial 2015 Heritage offering seemed to contain a paucity of exciting rookie cards. Those boxes appear to be languishing in sellers stockpiles. Did Topps hold back including emerging players in anticipation of the expanded update issue?
As for the product itself, rookie player selection is extensive, collation within two boxes I opened was excellent, with no doubles in each box, and inserts were unexciting but at the stated insertion rates. No autographs in those boxes. The complete set is 275 cards, including four seemingly redundant insert sets. These insert sets, other than Rookie Performers, add little to the Heritage sets. The sealed boxes are getting pricey; as of 1/1/16 update boxes quoted at prices about 30% higher than the cost of the initial Heritage run boxes. Future value all hinges on the performance of the rookies, as the complete set is of little value/interest beyond the approximately 50 rookie cards. At this time, sealed boxes in about the $60.--$65. range seem economically viable.

2006 Topps Heritage Chrome
I acknowledge right away I'm a fan of Topps Heritage baseball cards, and equally keen on the limited chrome version of the cards issued with the base set cards. Particularly pleasing is the 2006 Heritage set, which echoes the format and style of one of the greatest sets ever produced by Topps--1957 Topps baseball.
While the value of the Heritage chrome cards has somewhat inexplicably plummeted over the past year or so, I see it as an opportunity to either buy individual favorite cards, or put a full set together, for a very reasonable price. The set consists of approximately 100 cards, mostly familiar stars. The Heritage line, particularly pre-2013, was not known for including large numbers of rookie cards. So rookie cards are scarce with the chrome set. You are really putting a set together for something akin to the inherent beauty of the 1957 set updated to current players and the chrome era. I believe the set is a good long-term value, in that each card is numbered to 1957 individual cards. Cards tend to be well-centered, and the chrome format makes them virtually indestructible by baseball card standards.
All in all a classic, cleanly designed set that you can enjoy over and over, with fair potential for an increase in value over the years, given the current under-appreciation of Heritage chrome at a time when Heritage base rookie cards are enjoying much popularity
and skyrocketing values.

A key player in building a very worthwhile set.
Boy, I like this set--the chrome parallels of the 2000-2001 Heritage hockey base set. Updating the superb graphics of the legendary 1954-1955 Topps hockey set, this is what card design should be. A tremendous overall color scheme.
The chrome set is attainable to complete; there is no dealing with the madness of trying to find the single prints Topps has stuffed into the base set. The chrome set is 100 cards (as opposed to 350+ in the base 'cardboard' set) containing an interesting array of rookie cards along with the established superstars of that hockey era.
Some tough cards to locate provides just enough challenge for even a seasoned collector, and all chrome cards are limited to 555 per player. While hockey in the USA has more limited interest than the other Big-4 sports, the low print run ensures at least modest increase in value. But really just a gorgeous set, and you'll feel a sense of accomplishment upon completion.
