2013 Topps Archives Football Photo Variations Guide
Topps released 2013 Topps Archives this featuring designs of old sets with autographs from fan favorites throughout the years.
But you didn’t think colleting the base set was going to be easy, did you?
There are photo variations for some of the players. Right now, it seems to be with last year’s rookies. The gallery below is incomplete, but as we get more information and photos, we will update the post. Please keep in mind, this is a work in progress. If you see any others, let me know so we can update the post.
The regular base card is on the left with the photo variation on the right.
#1 Andrew Luck
#19 Russell Wilson
#51 Justin Blackmon
#75 Trent Richardson
#92 Brandon Weeden
#101 Doug Martin
#146 Alfred Morris
#150 Robert Griffin III
#151 Ryan Tannehill
#199 Robert Turbin

Justin Blackmon Variation-

So just to be clear, the 2013’s are officially not Rookie cards for the “class of 2012”. Right?
Because there are people listing the 2013 Topps Archive cards for Robert Griffin, Alfred Morris, Justin Blackmon, etc… as Rookies.
I think we’ve gotten so used to referring to them as Rookies, it’s odd to think of them ever entering into their “sophomore” year =)
Brian,
Personally I think they will be RC’s. They have the college stats on the back, for the 2012 drafted players and the 2013 draft guys don’t have base cards.
I have a gold Andrew luck variation but can’t find any trace of it on the Internet. What’s it worth? It’s in peak condition
