Kolek, Schwarber are Heritage mystery redemptions
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor
Two mysteries from last year’s Topps Heritage Minors baseball card set have been solved.
Topps announced Thursday that top draft picks Tyler Kolek and Kyle Schwarber are the players who will be heading out to collectors who found mystery redemptions in packs of Heritage Minors this past season.
Kolek, the No. 2 pick in the draft, is a pitcher in the Marlins organization and he’ll be going out to those who redeemed mystery card No. 1. Card No. 2 will be of Schwarber, the Cubs catching prospect who went fourth in the draft. Each card is a first for the players in their minor-league uniforms.
