2009 Topps Heritage Black Backs???

Well, info on 2009 Topps Heritage is slowly starting to trickle in, although nothing is official yet. Brentandbecca are always one of the largest openers of Topps Heritage product, and they just listed this master set on ebay:

2009 Topps Heritage Master Set from Brentandbecca

The interesting part about this is that they have the master set listed as 620 cards. They break it down as 500 base cards including short prints, the 45 insert cards that we all know and love, and 75 black back cards. This is the first I have heard mentioned about black back variation cards. Things may be about to get more interesting!

***UPDATE: Brentandbecca have taken down their master set with the black backs. I wonder if they got some bad information. I will shoot them an email and see if they can clarify. I post the update here if/when they reply.***

2009 Topps Heritage Delayed?

2009 Topps Heritage was originally supposed to hit the streets tomorrow (Feb. 25th), but it's looking like the release will be delayed. This is pretty common with Topps Heritage, but the 2008 set was released on time or perhaps even a few days early. Someone on the PSA message boards posted that their local dealer was saying the new release date will be this Friday, Feb. 27th. I can handle a couple of days, but if it's delayed any longer that that I might start showing signs of Heritage withdrawal!
