Heroes Volume 2

[Incarnadine]

Info is coming out and while I don't expect many people here to be excited after buyers were almost universally burned by season 1 I gotta admit TOPPS at least "appears" to be making an effort to correct things. Like others, the costume card fiasco from season 1 ticked me off and TOPPS releases after that were even worse, LOTR Masterpieces 2 had thousands of garbage Waterhouse (and others) sketches, damaged sketches and dud boxes, which TOPPS tried mightily to squirm out of any resonsibility for, then Indiana Jones Heritage had the same junk sketches, some damaged sketches and way more dud boxes with the added bones of massive over-production. I, and many others slammed TOPPS on other boards and maybe they were actually reading the complaints, for Heroes 2 they put some interesting info on the latest sell sheets:


1- Autos, costumes and sketches will be inserted at EQUAL ratios. So this time half the boxes won't have the same costume card in it.

2- Hobby exclusive in big bold lettering is being touted and specifically mentions it WON'T be at Target, Wall-Mart and Toys-R-Us.

3- The 1 sketch, auto or memorabilia card per box is "GUARANTEED". If you get a dud box they can't hide behind the old standby excuse "odds are only guaranteed over the entire production, not within an individual box".

They've sucked me in again and I've locked in for 2 cases. Heck, I'm hoping maybe orders will be light for this if topps prints to order.









Memorabilia (Hobby Exclusive!)
Features show-worn costumes including Claire’s California cheerleading uniform, Peter’s flannel shirt, Nathans’s dress shirt, HRG’s dress shirt, Monica’s fast food uniform, Maya’s tank top, Hiro’s sweater, Sylar’s jacket, West’s sweater and Elle’s blouse!

My local dealer e-mailed me yesterday as he was putting in his orders for this. I took a chance and went with 3 cases.

Yup, my dealer said they had to have their orders in by the 24th so I decided to pull the trigger. At least the case price was the same as pre-orders for season 1 which isn't bad

If I buy 2-3 cases, is there any way that I can get a discount from buying multiple cases?

Call Blowout and ask them for a price on 3 cases.

I have some new information about the volume 2 trading cards. Each 8 box case will contain 1 hot box. The hot box will contain the regular insert card + an additional Memorabilia card. Here is the link where I got the information from.
