The 2006
Topps Heritage Football is a nice quality product at the lower end of the price scale. The back of the cards has stats of the players previous year in the NFL and also total stats from the entire time in the NFL. There is also a short bio of the player on the back as well. The Topps Heritage logo is on the front upper left of the card. The bottom front of the card lists the players' name and team. Also, on the bottom there is a facsimile autograph of the player. Nice old-time look and feel to the cards make this a unique product.

The rookies have
the rookie designation below the Heritage logo on the top of the card.
The rookies are mainly posed shots from training camp or preseason.
We pulled (10) rookie cards in this Topps Heritage box.

The Game Used card we pulled was of LenDale White of the Tennessee Titans. The card has a piece of authentic player worn throwback jersey. LenDale was the Thunder part of the Thunder and Lightening backfield at USC with Reggie Bush being the Lightening.

This autograph is a nice quality autograph of Joe Klopfenstein of the St. Louis Rams. Very nice high quality autograph with no breaks or bubbling.

The
Final Verdict! |
|
|
|
| I
rate this box a 4 of 5 HI Fives. 2006 Topps Heritage Football
is a nice quality card product. You can usually
find these boxes in the $35 to $50 price range. Very good value
for the money in my opinion. I would have liked to have seen more rookie cards in this box. Nice cards for any TTM or IP autographing you may want to do. |
