General question for those out there: The 2016 Topps Variations have almost all of the images posted already, but as a perfectionist I noticed that the backs of the cards are the backs of the common cards, not the variations.  You can tell by the code on the bottom of the card.  The rest of the back is identical except for the code.  Common cards end in 075, Camo variations in 123, and the photo variations in 125.  Does this bother anybody else or am I the only one, as a variation collector, that would ever notice?

I've noticed that also throughout the years of their variation coding. But passed it off since it is usually so difficult to actually read in most scans and is the only difference in the backs (except Sabermetrics).  I'm usually pedantic but at some point the errors in the database are overwhelming. I usually give up the small, minutia battles and work on the more obvious, glaring problems.
