One new wrinkle that will likely draw the ire of many collectors deals with the code on the card back. Long used to help differentiate the variations from the base cards, we have been informed that this is no longer the case and all code numbers are now the same. This makes the card front differences that much more important and removes a viable backup option for determining variations. It does appear that some of the errors end with 327.

Because none of the variations were included on the final checklist, this means that it all has to be manually compiled. We will work as fast as possible to get the information up.

While there are expected options like Action Images and Color Swaps, the earliest cards to show up were the single-player Rookie SP variations that offer standalone options for top names like Kyle Schwarber and Corey Seager. These are easily distinguished as the base versions include two rookie players per card.

As the name indicates, Action Images feature in-action shots of the players versus the standard posed photographs on the base cards. Color Swap takes the main team text and flips the colors so that the black is the main fill color and the primary text color on the base card outlines the black text. They can be a little tricky to spot but are fairly obvious when compared against the base. Long story short, just look for black text for the team name on the front.

Other variations include Throwbacks, which showcase players in their retro jerseys, and Errors that look to the 1967 set for inspiration. Specific to the Kansas City Royals World Series subset (#151-155), Colorized versions stand out when compared to the base black-and-white versions.

View each of the variations, broken up by specific type, in our detailed gallery using the tabs above. We also added a master checklist below that contains all the variations in one big group with a notation as to which variation is in play for each player. Several players have multiple variations, including Buster Posey and Bryce Harper.
