Do you have bees visiting your tomato flowers? If not, you will get 0
cross pollination. So save all the seeds you wish.
If you do, try saving seeds from the time of year when pollinator activity is low or non-existant. Otherwise you can use tulle bags to prevent the bees from visiting protected flowers.
