2022 Topps Heritage Baseball Variations — No Codes Necessary

Many collectors have taken to checking for Topps variances using the codes included in the tiny print on the back of the cards over the years. It's little and sometimes difficult to read.

Heritage takes a new approach that is much easier and more evident. It still necessitates a backward gaze. Only here, next to the card number, there's a clear label.
