Every year Topps Heritage looks back at classic designs and recreates them. That’s, literally, what I do as a hobby so it only makes sense that I’d do a homage to a homage. 2017 Heritage looks back at 1968. The problem with 1968 Topps is that it used this very harsh “burlap” texture on the cards, in combination with seemingly random accent colors. I figured I could replace that texture with a more art deco pattern, and bring accurate team colors back into the mix.
