2022 Topps Heritage Minors Baseball Variations Guide
2022 Topps Heritage Minors Baseball variations come in three styles.
First up are the traditional Image Variations that change out the photos on the front.
Bubble Border Color Swap is a long name, but the general gist of these SSPs is that the color inside the circle on the front is moved to the border. The result looks a lot like one of the set’s parallels. But also part of the swap, the small icon is also switched to white.
Finally, there’s a lone card of Roberto Clemente from his time with the Montreal Royals. In essence, it’s like another Image Variation but it is separate on the 2022 Topps Heritage Minors checklist.
According to the odds on packs, Image Variations and the Clemente card are each 1:856 packs. Based on the number of cards surfacing, this might be an error as there are definitely more Image Variations floating around. However, it could also mean that the Clemente card is lumped in with the Image Variations. Basically, you’ll find as many of the Clementes as you would a Henry Davis Image Variation. Color Swaps are also tough at 1:771 packs.
Confirming Variations on the Back
Heritage SSPs are some of the easiest to spot now. Like its MLB counterpart, 2022 Topps Heritage Minors Baseball variations have a clear label on the back. Just look next to the baseball icon where the card number is on the back.
Image Variations say “IMAGE” and Bubble Border Color Swap Variations say “COLOR”. The only exception is the Roberto Clemente card but that one’s also the most obvious as he’s not in the base set nor are any other baseball legends.
Because of this label, there’s no real need to worry about codes in the fine print. However, if you’d prefer to look at the tiny text, these are the CMP code endings for base cards, base short prints (#201-220) and the three types of variations:
- Base – 417
- Base SP (#201-220) – 431
- Image Variations – 432
- Roberto Clemente Variation – 433
- Bubble Border Color Swap Variations – 434
