2013 Topps Heritage Baseball Variation Short Prints and Errors Guide
Action Image
Topps Heritage has a knack for bringing out the set collectors. Because a relatively large base set apparently isn't enough, even once you factor in the many regular short prints, every year has a broad mix of variations. The list of 2013 Topps Heritage Baseball variation short prints is large, covering several themes.
The most traditional variants come in the form of Action Image Variations. These cards swap out the base set portraits for a picture with a little more activity. Error Variations come with subtle mistakes that require a close look to spot. Four Washington Nationals are pictured in throwback Washington Senators jerseys. Finally, there are color variations that use different colors in the team names and nameplates.
Below you'll find detailed information on all 2013 Topps Heritage Baseball variation short prints, including detailed checklists and, where possible, image samples. It is worth noting there are also Red and Blue Variations that are not highlighted below (but they can be found on our full checklist). These are available only in Target and Walmart packs and are very distinct due to their colored borders, giving them more of a parallel feel.
