FYI: Not Topps Heritage related, but who can resist free cards? Press Pass is asking collectors to fill out a short survey in exchange for a “free exclusive promotional set of Press Pass cards.” Visit their website at www.presspassinc.com for more information.
I’m a little bit late in posting this, as I haven’t got any of the variations myself, but here is a list for future reference anyway.
#58 Conor Jackson, the SP variation card features a Rays logo on the card. This is similar to the original 1960 Topps #58 Gino Cimoli which shows him in a Cardinals uniform but features a Pirates logo.
#70 Tom Glavine, the SP variation has his name spelled as “Thom” similar to how the original 1960 Topps #70 misspelled Lew Burdettes name as “Lou.”
#102 Adrian Gonzalez, the SP variation features a Rangers logo on the front. This mimics the original 1960 Topps #102 Kent Hadley which shows Hadley in an A’s uniform but the card features a Yankees logo.
#346 Fred Lewis, picture is actually Randy Winn. This is similar to the original 1960 Topps #346 J.C. Martin which actually shows Gary Peters.
#407 Randy Winn, picture is actually Fred Lewis. This is similar to the original 1960 Topps #407 Gary Peters which actually shows J.C. Martin.
#445 John Smoltz, the SP variation features Smoltz in a Red Sox Uniform.
#488 Hanley Ramirez, the variation shows him in a Red Sox uniform.
Variation: Featured in Red Sox Uniform. This is similar to the original 1960 Topps #488 which shows Norm Cash in an Indians cap but the card has a Tigers logo.
