White Whale - Bryce Harper Heritage Roomie Card

asujbl · 12-17-2025, 04:52 PM

Background? Why so expensive comparatively?

Baseball makes no sense to me

Thanks

2012 Heritage High was only released in box set form, and the print run was lower than future releases.

This is his “best” rookie year logo auto, IMO.

1000 sets, one auto in each set
21 auto checklist
10 red autos /10 of each subject (210 total)
So, 790 "base" autos spread across these guys, no one knows for sure how many of each was made:

PARALLEL CARDS: Red #/10

ROA-AP Andy Pettitte
ROA-BD Bryan Dozier
ROA-BH Bryce Harper
ROA-CG Chris Getz
ROA-CR Cody Ross
ROA-DB Daniel Bard
ROA-DH Drew Hutchison
ROA-EV Edinson Volquez
ROA-FR Fernando Rodney
ROA-GB Gordon Beckham
ROA-GJ Garrett Jones
ROA-JV Jordany Valdespin
ROA-KN Kirk Nieuwenhuis
ROA-MHA Matt Hague
ROA-TB Trevor Bauer
ROA-TP Tyler Pastornicky
ROA-WM Will Middlebrooks
ROA-WP Willy Peralta
ROA-YC Yoenis Cespedes
ROA-YD Yu Darvish
ROA-ZC Zack Cozart

I bought 8 sets at $100 per set..they sat on Topps' website for several days. I opened one and hit a Darvish auto, was very happy with that, I still have it (raw). I sold the other 7 sets for $1000 each a few years later. One guy who bought one told me there was a red Andy Pettite in his, which, at the time (2015 or so), was kind of a white whale that no one had seen. I bought the PSA 8.5 Harper auto for $800 probably in 2016 or so? I still have it. Good times, I miss those days.

It was a little less fun when your one set gave you Tyler Pastornicky as your autograph!

ha! i think that was my auto as well

Mattsurewood · Yesterday, 05:33 PM

I really do miss those days. 1997-2018 were, for me, peak. Opening boxes/cases etc.

It’s different now. And not in a good way.

Amazing post - I remember those sets well!

Those slabs shown above cost $6/card back then. What a time to be alive.

Still hunting for a Dozier red ink auto. The blue ink was a tough find too! Not a lot of them floating out there
