Checking Codes

I finally got some Topps 2016 Baseball Series 1 the other day.  I picked up a blaster (I might post about the relic later) and as I was sorting them, when I got to the third pack, I realized I hadn't been checking codes.

For those that don't know, there is a little code at the bottom of Topps cards.  Look at the back of the card and you will see it.  It should say something like Code#CMP017123.

So, on the third pack of the blaster, I decided to check the codes to see if I had any variants.  I flipped the pack over and this is what I saw.


Well, I didn't actually see that, since I was looking at the back of the card, but it was this card.

Yep.  a hated Yankee.  But what is that?  Is that a camouflaged logo on his uniform?  It IS!!!  And the photo variants in Series 1 feature camo on the uniform in some way!!!

Yep.  First card I saw when I realized I needed to check codes was a photo variant.

I'll be picking up a blaster of Heritage tomorrow.  Wonder if I will get lucky and pull another variant.  Or even better a relic or auto!
