#215 SP
“Expensive” is a relative term. The 2017 Topps Heritage Minors Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is easily the most expensive card on this list. Still, compared to a lot of his major cards, this one is cheap. Heritage base cards, both MLB and MILB, maintain a strong level of popularity. This is also one of 20 short prints, which combine to land 1:6 packs. So it’s in noticeably less supply but not scarce.
