2013 Topps Strata Football Forum

From here: https://www.beckett.com/news/first-look-2013-topps-strata-football/

"Last year, the base cards had different pictures of the rookie between hobby and retail and it seems as Topps taking that road once again."

From what I'm observing, there's no way to determine if a base veteran card came from hobby or retail.  Same code number on the back, same foil, etc.  Only the RCs have different poses.  Should the base set just include the retail vs hobby pose variations of the rookies?

the 2013 did have a Retail as a subset CL listed on here. Are you looking at a more current year without the Retail CL?

sometimes the differences other than a pose maybe hobby may have a slightly more glossy appearance or brighter color, thicker stock too at times. 

I guess I'm looking for Release Notes if there is any difference between hobby/retail of the 100 veteran cards.  I would expect a different Topps Code # if there were.  If they're exactly the same between hobby/retail, they shouldn't be on both the Base (hobby) & Retail checklists, the Retail checklist should be slimmed down to just the RC variations or consolidated with the Base and include a VAR for each of the RCs.
