Card Identification Forum

The 2018 Topps Baseball Factory set has 702 cards, adding an addtional 698 and 699 for Torres and Acuna, similar to the variations that they added to Series 2 packs.  The backs are the same, but they each have a unique front image.  How should these be added to the database as they are only available in Factory sets?  There is also the various 5 card variation sets available depending on if you bought retail, hobby, or all-star, but I'm assuming those will be handled the same as they have been in the past.

There is also a 6 card chrome set exclusive to Target, with one extra card of the six per sealed set.

I went ahead and added the Rookie Image Variation checklist to the site.

I see that this mystery was marked as answered, but the question still exists.  How should we handle the additional version of 698 and 699 (Torres and Acuna)?  These were only available in the factory sets.

I would say add them into the normal CL as a variation with "Factory Set Exclusive" being put in "Note 2".

OK...I submitted the two cards for approval.  Once there I can get the scans in.
