2012 Topps Heritage Variations Short Prints Revealed
Topps has confirmed several 2012 Topps Heritage variation short prints to keep collectors busy.
The 25 Image Swap variations see the position of the two front photos switched up. The main photo becomes the one in the inset circle and the circle photo becomes the main photo. The 25 Color Swap variations are much subtler. They have the bottom color of the border and the background color of the inset circle switched.
Both Walmart and Target each have an exclusive 25-card border variation. Walmart exclusives have blue borders, while Target variations have red borders.
Even the relics are in on the variation chase this year. Twenty-five Image Swap Variation Relics are numbered to 63.
Although not yet confirmed, early indications point to Image Swap variations seem to be appearing every other box combined. The 25 Color Swap and ten Short Print Errors look to be much tougher. It's also interesting to note that Topps' checklist has two Ryan Madson errors. That may or may not be an error itself. Image Swap Relics appear to be falling one per hobby case.
With 2012 Topps Heritage just starting to arrive, more concrete info will appear in the coming days. We'll be sure to update this page as more details become available.

The Oversight would make it an Error right? Like the other oversights on here.
Ryan Cracknell
I don’t think it’s an error exactly. Maybe an oversight, but it’s not an official error card, nor was there a different version.
