RE: 2024 Topps Heritage 50th Anniversary Buy Back inserts.  

I notice there are no photos of any of these cards yet on TCDB.  

From a Facebook group: 

I’ve been watching, waiting patiently for the 1975 Topps Cleveland Indians buybacks to hit this site.

Nothing.

So, I started searching in all the usual places to buy cards.

Nothing.

It looks like Topps might have pulled them from the 50th Anniversary population of buybacks.

Is this for REAL?!

Someone prove me wrong, please.

When they release checklists, they remove “Indians” from the team name and just say a Cleveland. They’ve gone woke. Apparently Indians is a bad word and Topps is doing their part in erasing them from history.

Apparently no one’s seen one for sale any where yet.  Do the Cleveland buybacks exist?   

@Bounty13, define "woke"

They had Indians buybacks in 2023 Heritage, but there are none on eBay for 2024.  At least none that I found.  It seems odd that they would take them out this year and not last year, but I never am never surprised by things like this in modern times. 

No, it’s exactly what it means.

So you don't know or care what it means and you throw it around like an insult.

It means you are considerate of others, generally at zero cost to yourself, but that is a bad thing that keeps inflexible brains the stopped developing in middle school awake at night (this where “woke” gets its name) and it will also make you go broke if I’m understanding correctly. I’ve done the research on it. 

Woke means you realize what privilege you have by being white and recognize it also has an equal and opposite negative effext on others. You woke up to the reality. 

Others throw it at you like you think its a bad thing. Kinda like redneck.

As for the Indians cards...dont know! Sad if they just disappeared.

Woke as a term was co-opted. Originally it was to refer to people who were aware of government/institutional corruption, especially in regards to high crimes. It has evolved since becoming mainstream, now with a different definition but it is not relevant to be talked about on this site.
