The 2005 Topps Heritage Baseball variations aren’t the most exciting ever put to cardboard. Each of the 20 cards fall into one of two categories. The first group of variations have players in throwback caps in the portrait photo. If the portraits match, the action photo has been switched.

The variations are grouped with the 100 regular short prints in 2005 Topps Heritage Baseball, which land 1:2 packs. So while not terribly rare, the sheer number of them makes a master set a challenge.
