The 2020 Topps Heritage Minors Baseball variations come in a couple of forms. For starters, there are the traditional Image Variations that swap out one photo for another. A little more subtle are the Missing Signature versions. These simply remove the facsimile autograph found on the front of regular base cards (unless it’s Tim Tebow, whose card is flipped on its side as well).
In both instances, these SSP cards are tough pulls. Image variants are 1:552 2020 Topps Heritage Minors packs. It’s the same for Missing Signature cards. That’s slightly tougher than 1:30 boxes for one of the cards at the individual set level.
The Fastest Way to Spot a Variation
Yes, the backs offer a simple giveaway and confirmation for both types of 2020 Topps Heritage Minors variations. And while you could use the code in the fine print like most other Topps sets, there’s no need to here. You don’t need to remember anything, either, other than where to look. Variations have labels.
Next to the card number on the back, it tells you exactly what version you have. Cards with different photos say “Image.” And in case the lack of facsimile autograph on the front alluded you, there’s a good chance you’ll notice the “Missing Signature” notation when you’re putting your stacks into numerical order.
