2020-21 Topps Chrome UEFA Variations cover some of the top players on the checklist. From superstar veterans to rookie stars and points in between, they offer different photos and much longer odds.

Variations are actually Refractors, so they naturally stand out more than a regular base card. Still, some of the photo switches are subtle.

The cards are not easy to come by, landing 1:510 hobby packs and 1:308 blaster packs. There are also one-of-one Superfractors (1:146,241 hobby, 1:109,701 blaster).

An Easy Way to Confirm 2020-21 Topps Chrome UEFA Variations

Let’s be honest — these aren’t the most obvious of image variations. For most players, they’re simply in a bit of a different position or pose. But they don’t scream SSP. There is a gallery below that’s a fast and simple reference. But that’s not the only way to confirm if you have a variation. Card backs offer up two additional sources of confirmation.

For standard Refractors, they’re labeled as such directly under the card number. Variations, which come on Refractor stock, do not. So if you get a card that looks like a base parallels but doesn’t have the ‘Refractor’ label on the back, it’s a sign you might have a variation.

A second way to confirm the SSP cards is with the fine print. The CMP code at the end of the block of text changes based on card types. Usually, you can ignore this. But it can come in handy for variation spotting. These are the two code endings you need to know:

• Base/Refractor – 488
• Variation Refractors – 517
