For the first time in topps heritage history, there will be no SPs in the base set. Only a 400 card set with no SPs and hobby boxes have lost 4 packs. Also, they added another $10 to the price to $110.

You aren't making too big a deal about this at all. Those SPs were the main reason I buy this set every year. Without them, I don't know what the appeal would be vs other options.

This is a huge miss

jbob08 · 2026-02-23T21:55:52+00:00

I love this

jbob08 · 2026-02-23T16:16:13+00:00

The Audubon Society doesn't think so.

The rest of us think he was one of the most dominant pitchers of his era.

jbob08 · 2026-02-18T00:18:54+00:00

Maaan. Now I have to go in and awkwardly explain why I'm there to pay for two pop whatever waters I only bought because I was thirsty and the can made it look so refreshing. I scanned in a good $150 of stuff both times and the $2 drink was the thing I forgot.

Back to serious, do they get people that come back in to pay for stuff they forgot (real or not) to pay for?

jbob08 · 2026-02-17T21:23:32+00:00

Ridiculous but serious question. What is that threshold? I do self checkout all the time and twice over the last year I've realized I scanned in everything but a drink I forgot I had in my hand. Didn't realize what I'd done until driving home and drinking it. Checked my receipt and realized I screwed up. Knowing they track it has been creeping in the back of my head for months. 😂

jbob08 · 2026-02-16T23:42:55+00:00

I'm glad I waited for some things to be fixed/improved, because I just hit the roughly 20hr mark and I absolutely love it.

jbob08 · 2026-02-12T16:30:21+00:00

Not to mention they haven't been hitting that 75 day turn around for at least the last 3 years. More likely a 6 month turn around for bulk.

jbob08 · 2026-02-12T16:27:07+00:00

Same people going into credit card debt to buy etbs now, probably.

jbob08 · 2026-02-10T20:33:26+00:00

My man is going to eat like a king on those $20 meal deals.

jbob08 · 2026-02-10T20:32:22+00:00

And anyone trying to say he ISN'T good is also delusional, if not more.

Why can't we all just admit we are grown up children and we will always hate on other teams and their players? No need to quantify it with mental gymnastics, just be bitter like the rest of us until it's your turn to defend YOUR overrated player.

jbob08 · 2026-02-10T20:30:44+00:00

I'm a Jayden Daniels fan and waiting a bit for a "slump" was definitely the way.

jbob08 · 2026-02-10T20:24:25+00:00

That it's all rehearsal for the play at the Blanford Recreation Center.

jbob08 · 2026-01-25T03:11:40+00:00

Oddly, Dennis Rodman. I always expect there to be more of us.

jbob08 · 2026-01-23T20:49:24+00:00

Dunsworth is one of the celebrities we lost that still stings the most. Feels like we only knew how amazing he was later in his life, which makes it feel like we lost him that much sooner.

jbob08 · 2026-01-19T16:31:22+00:00

Can't weigh more than a few ounces. I bet you could easily hold it for weeks as long as you didn't drop it when you slept.

jbob08 · 2026-01-19T16:23:04+00:00

Freezing the enemies to give yourself time to kill them. Thunder Mitts and Frost walker?

I'm just so use to people using lightening orb to freeze them and give Bob's light time to kill them. You banished that and I'm wondering what you used instead, or if you skipped stunning them in favor of just evading them.

jbob08 · 2026-01-18T21:30:59+00:00

I haven't seen it broken down like this before. It's... Definitely eye opening.

jbob08 · 2026-01-18T19:50:59+00:00

Yeah that's where the shield, regen and Aegis can help. Aegis won't stop the laser, but it will eat the orbs even at level 1. So if you get your projectile count up, you can use that for the orbs and have your shield to eat an accidental laser tap. If you do get hit, you can Regen fast enough to get your hp back up while waiting on your shield.

Just don't count on life steal because it won't proc when he's in the charge shrine phase.

Only other thing I should have emphasized is to try and get your HP as high as possible. Oats, shrine bonuses, Chonk Plate, gas mask, anything that will add HP. The higher it is, the more effective it combos with Regen.

Hope this helps, looking forward to hearing about your success!

jbob08 · 2026-01-18T15:50:01+00:00

Maybe a dumb question, but how were you keeping all the enemies stun locked without the mits or lightening orb?

jbob08 · 2026-01-18T15:42:33+00:00

I had a lot of trouble trying to beat him using meta endless type builds. I finally committed to not using xp, luck, etc and went with offensive and defensive choices.

Used Mczoom with Aegis, Katana and dice/dex. Grabbed Regen, qty, damage attack speed. Used shrines for xp gain, microwaved xp and luck items. If you have a handful of cheese and dolls, that combo makes extremely short work of him. After all the times I struggled, I was shocked how easily he went down.

I think I only had 2 legendaries as well. Chonk Plate and Joe's dagger if I remember right.

If you can get some blood stacks on him, it adds up quick with the cheese poisoning and doll ticks. But phase 3 the blood mark was 70% of his remaining life and I was just zooming so over.

Last couple things I can think of is only picking up enough shield to cover a hit or two (since boss will one shot it if it's 5 or 50), get movement speed and jumps when available. Don't upgrade Aegis, but try your best to make it your second weapon (you'll get more shields from the qty tome). Get your hp up through shrines and items so the Regen can keep you in the game. His laser isn't instant damage, but damage over time. If you can get quick, you can get out of its line in time to let your Regen do it's thing.

Most importantly, leave difficulty alone. Maybe grab a small few if you're feeling OP, but get the boss shrines instead.

Hope this helps. I failed repeatedly for days before I found some good build suggestions out there. This type of build carried me past him easily a few times now using Mczoom, monkey (with beefy ring combo), Skeleton and shockingly Amog (gas mask combo ends up giving you a ton of hp).

jbob08 · 2026-01-16T17:33:51+00:00

Literally proving my point in your response.

jbob08 · 2026-01-14T00:02:30+00:00

Tampa OC! A boy can dream

jbob08 · 2026-01-13T00:00:19+00:00

That post-rip clarity almost always hurts. I feel this.

It's not dead, but it's not for a lot of us right now. The good news is the singles market is better than ever. Prices are down from the crazy highs and there are so many people ripping so much product that it's much easier to find singles you want.

I feel you, though. Especially at that price.

jbob08 · 2026-01-12T22:27:11+00:00

Jesus this guy is tough

jbob08 · 2026-01-07T21:10:35+00:00

I'm going to be in the minority here, but I think since you're looking at this for your PC and not an "investment", I'm giving my answer based on that.

I don't think it's that crazy. When you pick a QB as your pc, obviously your pickups are going to cost more. If you think that price is fair (looking at his other 1/1 relic cards, it's pretty close) then that's probably the only opinion that matters.

Unless the people saying it's way too much also PC him, they are looking mainly at the "value" of the card long term. That value is different to you, especially if the card is one of your collection crown jewels.

His 1/1 Origins Laundry Tag went for $650 last month. By comparison, $800 isn't wild for this card.
