I mentioned in a comment elsewhere - 2020 killed my love for new cards. 2021 Heritage, which I've highly anticipated for the last few years may not see a dollar from me. I was actually going to bust a whole freakin' case, the first ever for me. Nope. Not now. I'm not ever sure Stadium Club can save my interest in new product. acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-64987013763492704282021-02-03T18:38:57.316-06:002021-02-03T18:38:57.316-06:00That CarGo card makes me sad.

I'm sure that when the designs were turned in, the assumption was that guys like Zobrist and Felix Hernandez WERE going to play in 2020....and that people would be happy to have their cards even if they didn't....?Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694198056501050518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-73834982950521759172021-01-29T13:17:11.487-06:002021-01-29T13:17:11.487-06:00I purchased a hanger box of this stuff at Walmart....I purchased a hanger box of this stuff at Walmart.

Please tell me that Beckett has reached out to you, because these are the kind of articles they should have in their magazines.

None of their current nominees can match a one-game wonder who's a two-time Cy Young winner. I do wonder what will happen with King Felix. The guy once seemed Hall-bound, but it's been a few years since he's been decent. <br /><br />@Mike, Zobrist isn't any kind of zero-year card; he played four seasons with the Cubs. He just wasn't signed for 2020. <br /><br />Brett Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909286892005353279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-34242651037700169792021-01-28T19:13:16.972-06:002021-01-28T19:13:16.972-06:00I somehow missed that High #'s never made it t...I somehow missed that High #'s never made it to retail stores. Guess I can stop looking now. :-D<br /><br />In normal seasons I'm the weird guy who likes Heritage High #'s because they often have unusual player selections.

I’ve always believed that cards should be done in yearbook style, probably because they were from 1991-1997, right when I first started collecting. I do, however understand your issue with Heritage High Numbers since it technically a traded/Update set. They do, however get you a lot of sunset/short term stop/zero year cards. <br />Random question. Have you tried to compile a list of short term stops or zero year cards (even the ones you don’t have)? I’m organizing my binders right now and I’m trying to pull cards like those to send you but I don’t want to miss any.
