Just when we thought we could turn the page to 2025 Topps sets, they grab us back with another 2024 rookie class release in Topps Heritage High Number. A product that is aimed at set collectors and folks chasing the elusive red ink autos. Just when we didn’t think we’d have another crack to pull a Paul Skenes rookie card, Topps delivers.
