   andrelton simmons is just like todd frazier…his chrome cards show him as a brave and the base show him as an angel

   Greg Holland, #441. Error. Front says,
   OF, back says, pitcher

   Buddy Howell » Looks like an actual error and not an intended variation. His base card lists OF on the card front while all his Chrome parallels list P on front.

    Is there such a thing as a gloss back card? I have one that is obviously with gloss on the back. It stands out like a sore thumb

13. 

    Trey Treutel | Mar 8, 2016 | Reply

    Edward » Yep. It’s a parallel and listed on the main checklist for the product. It flips the design so that the gloss is on the back and the grainy texture and dull finish is on the front.

    I was wondering if anyone pulled a 3 card combo? I got one big card with 3 individual players- Gerardo Parra, Wily Peralta, and Chris Ianneeta. As if the cards weren’t cut. No, number on the back. I don’t if it’s nothing or if I got lucky. Please help! Thanks!

    Joe » Ad panel. They are list at the bottom with the box loaders but Topps never supplied a checklist for them. They are in almost every box.

    Just scoured through my case, found a Jason Kipnis possible throwback variation. Any info on this?

    Looks like someone posted a Mookie Betts throwback as well. I just sent a copy of the pic I saw on the eBay listing to you, Trey. Check it out!

    All of these variations are the reason I stopped buying Heritage. Way, way to many, but that is just my opinion.

    Yeah, this is overkill. Way more intimidating than enticing.

    Are all variations hobby only?

    oae – No. I pulled an action image variation from a Wal-Mart Hanger box

    I recently purchased a box of 2016 Topps Baseball Heritage and got two action variations, Yasiel Puig and Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris. Norris isn’t mentioned in the action variation list and I’m wondering if it’s a card that was released without any mention.

    Does anyone know if the variations have a different last 4 digits in the code number like previous years? It looks like the base cards all end in “7299”.

    I pulled a Felix Hernandez throwback from a Wal Mart hanger pack.

    The throwbacks are going for big big money on eBay. Does anyone know just how short the print run is on these?

32. 

    Trey Treutel | Mar 18, 2016 | Reply

    Chris Allen » It is believed to be around ten copies for each player but Topps has not confirmed.

    Brian | Mar 21, 2016 | Reply

    Isn’t the Cano Action Variation in a throwback uniform? So, is it a throwback too?

34. 

    Trey Treutel | Mar 21, 2016 | Reply

    Brian » I originally thought the same thing when I saw it. Technically it does feature a throwback uniform but based on the amount to surface, it is clearly not as rare. Throwbacks look to be limited to ten or less copies.

    I have two number 190’s in topps heritage baseball 2016. It’s Luis Severino AL Rookie Stars and then one him holding a baseball.Is there a 192 card? I just want to know. Do I have a error card or what?

36. 

    Trey Treutel | Mar 22, 2016 | Reply

    Dave » The dual is the base rookie and the single-player card is the Action Image variation and is shown on the Action RC tab in our guide.

    Just bought a blaster box of 2016 Topps Heritage and got 2 or 3 crap cards from the 90s, what the hell is that all about? How can Topps get any cheaper than inserting worthless ‘vintage’ cards into new packs? No wonder why the hobby is dying.

    Derek | May 23, 2016 | Reply

    Do you have better odds pullling inserts/variations from a hobby box vs blaster boxes?

39. 

    Trey Treutel | May 23, 2016 | Reply

    Derek » That is usually the case but you would have to check the pack odds for each to be certain.

    Bought a few packs today. Found a “Then and Now” of Phil Niekro and Zack Greinke that was horribly off centre. I know of the gum stains cards as variations, but did they decide to copy another of the flaws that happened with the older cards?

    I have a Card #163 Dodgers Rookies and the picture of Frankie Montas does not have the facsimile signature on it. Is this an Error?
