I love this! Aside from Julio, everyone else is wearing a different uniform color. Variations should always, at minimum, be this. I also appreciate they used different flavor text on the back for Kittle.
This is a great way to do variations and short prints. I prefer it to adding gloss or sparkles to artificially elevate the value of a short print. Licensing two different photos at least shows that Panini is investing a little more. Jerseys and autographs are great, but these variations are out of reach for kid collectors, which should always be included in the formula. Remember, vintage cards became valuable because kids handled and traded the best cards frequently and pristine cards became very rare.
