Random Observation
I'm trying to piece together every Topps Cubs card from the main sets ever produced. In that process I have come across this...
In 2007 Topps they made the same card twice but put different numbers on it. Number 68 & 492 are the exact same card. Pure laziness if you ask me!

RE: Random Observation
That's quite an ambitious project. Are you going after the "Abe" SPs from 2010 Topps also?

RE: Random Observation
Same thing happened with the Rod Barrahas (have no idea how to spell it) card last year in series 2 where they numbered his card x2 and a lower number card of a Royals player I think......
This year the checklist Roy Halladay card from S1 and the Roy Hallady base card S2 are exactly the same. Got my girdle in a bunch as I am/was (?) attempting Rainbows of all Phillies 2013, but do I want 22-30 "unique" cards of the exact same picture? 11-15 is enough LOL.
This was brought up last week and I for one feel that it sb one & done for any picture used on a card forever
That's an awesome project...I'm assuming you are talking about base cards only. Good luck in your endevor.

Not at the beginning. If I finish most of it in the next year or so then I may try. I'm about 50% finished now. It's has been a blast though.

Very nice! TI really like the Topps SPs from 2009 to 2011 and those Abe SPs are tough. Good luck, man!
