I've paired each sport-printed variation with its normal base card for comparison. On the left is the normal card and on its right is the variation.
Corey Seager has to share his Heritage card with former Dodger Jose Peraza. Thankfully, a full-size Seager is available as a short print. (Look Night Owl... Palm Trees!)

The Chrome cards below are not variations -- in that they are short printed and therefore scarce. Although, they are available in smaller numbers compared to the base cards. I just thought it would be interesting to point out the Zack Greinke "chrome parallel" since it uses a different photo than what is found in the base set. For the "chrome parallel" Topps decided to show us the non-Photoshopped version of the photo they used. Check it out below. BTW, not every card in the base set has a "chrome parallel." A checklist is provided below.

- #130 Zack Greinke
- #410 Yasiel Puig

That Greinke card on the left is terrible... Right? In case you're interested, below is the reverse of the Zack Greinke card.

To be fair, those D-back uniforms are terrible, regardless of how good a photoshopping job is being done.
