Presented is a collection of 2001 Topps Heritage cards consisting of 174 PSA-graded cards (171 different base and insert cards plus three duplicates). Produced by Topps to commemorate the design of the 1952 Topps set, Topps Heritage was the brainchild of Topps executives looking for a way to honor the company's most popular designs in celebration of fifty years of Topps baseball cards. Beginning with this inaugural set in 2001, Topps Heritage would utilize the classic 1952 Topps series design and continue in succession each year with a lineup of the present-day players on cards that resembled their vintage counterparts. These throwback cards appealed to modern and vintage collectors alike, making Topps Heritage one of Topps' most popular products. All the cards in this collection have been graded by PSA as GEM MINT 10 or MINT 9 (except for one NM 7).

Just like 1952 Topps, the base set consisted of 407 cards. Also, like 1952 Topps, cards #1-80 were printed with both black and red backs, and the ninety-seven high numbers #311-407 were short-printed, making assembly of a complete base set a challenge even in the modern era. This collection could form the foundation of a complete high-grade PSA-graded set of 2001 Topps Heritage. Total: 174 cards. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
