2015 Topps Heritage Variations Visual Guide
By Chris Olds
This year’s Topps Heritage officially arrives on Wednesday with three types of variations for collectors to chase — throwback uniforms, action images and color swaps.
The throwback uniforms will include different photos showing player in retro-styled uniforms as they are commonly used in MLB today. Action images will showcase action photos instead of the portraits commonly used in past sets and re-created here. The color swaps will alter the color scheme on the stripes of the card fronts.
After the jump is the previously released checklist of those three types of cards. We will detail and update the list to include images of each card as they are discovered by collectors this week.
Check out the checklists … after the jump.
