The 2019 Topps Archives Baseball variations checklist isn’t a big one. However, there are still some SSP cards to chase in the product.

A total of ten 2019 Archives cards get short prints that look a lot like the regular base cards only with a different photo. Most are veteran superstars. That said, rookie standout Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and a couple of Yankees legends, Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter, also appear.

Although not the toughest short prints this season, the 2019 Topps Archives Baseball variations aren’t easy to pull, either. At the hobby level, they’re 1:207 packs. Averaging things out, that’s one SSP every eight or nine boxes.

Confirming Variations with the Code on the Back

Still wondering if you have a variation? Flip the card over and go directly to the code at the end of the fine print. That code changes between different types of cards. For the purposes of 2019 Topps Archives SSP cards, these are the two you need to know:

  • 1958 Base: 5053
  • 1975 Base: 5058
  • 1993 Base: 5064
  • Variation: 5070

So if you have a card with a code ending in 5053, it’s a regular base card. Same for 5058 and 5064. Each base design has its own code.

However, if it’s 5070, then you have one of the variations. Here, the code doesn’t change based on the card design. All have the same one.

    What is the point of those variations? There is nothing special about the photo. There is no theme on the photos. They aren’t even interesting photos. Why would any collector really want those at the crazy prices they are bound to sell for? To each their own, but it just doesn’t make sense to me. Stuff like this is going to turn off a lot of collectors. Not all of them, but probably some.

    Hi.
    Good Saturday to you and your family.
    I bought packs yesterday from 2019
    Archives and have a Jeter, TM-14, that
    has a CMP code that ends with 074.

    Is this an SP or SSP?

    Thank you for your help
    and have a very nice weekend.
