   gum back variation card #201

3. 

   don walsh » The Gum Back cards are a parallel.

4. 

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

5. 

   Euh, not big on this year’s overall design, but a few packs woln’t go amiss.

6. 

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

7. 

   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.

   Matthew Howard » Thanks, Matthew! We appreciate it! We certainly try our best to provide the best resource available to card collectors.

10. 

    Have #435 Chris Archer without facsimile signature on front.

11. 

    William Allen » Shoot me a pic if you can – trey@cardboardconnection.com – and I will add it.

    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. 

    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.

14. 

    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!

15. 

    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.

16. 

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

17. 

    Kenneth » Please email me a scan or clean image and I can check it out. trey@cardboardconnection.com

18. 

    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!

19. 

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

20. 

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

21. 

    what about minis

22. 

    joel delarosa » Minis are a partial parallel and included on the main checklist page – http://www.cardboardconnection.com/2016-topps-heritage-baseball-cards

23. 

    Are all variations hobby only?

24. 

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

25. 

    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.

26. 

    Robert Emmes » I have not seen any Action Variations for Daniel Norris. Shoot me an email scan or image and I can check it out -trey@cardboardconnection.com

27. 

    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”.

28. 

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

29. 

    Dale McGrath » Can you email me a scan of the card – trey@cardboardconnection.com

30. 

    found a2016 heritage rick porcello #192 with a definite wax stain on the back

31. 

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

32. 

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

33. 

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

34. 

    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.

35. 

    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. 

    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.

37. 

    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.

38. 

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

39. 

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

40. 

    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?

41. 

    does anyone know the print run on the gum stained back cards???

42. 

    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?

43. 

    I have a Genuine 2016 Heritage Gum Stained Marcel Ozuna #373. I don’t see it listed anywhere. Have you heard about this from anyone else?

44. 

    It’s a full base parallel so they aren’t especially rare overall. I see the Ozuna on eBay for $1.35. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Topps-Heritage-Gum-Damage-Back-Marcell-Ozuna-373/232932797120?hash=item363be06ac0:g:j84AAOSwM2deGWk0
