Of very little importance, but still makes me go "Hmmmm?!"

Ok, I know most on here don't do a whole lot with the Topps flagship brand base cards, but I came across a little oddity, and wondered if anyone knows of an explanation as to why this occurred.

Zack Greinke makes an appearance in the Series 1 base set as card #222. He then also makes an appearance in the Series 2 set as card #661. 2 different photos, both with the Diamondbacks, with the same stat lines on the back. Besides one card being oriented vertically, and the other horizontally, the only other difference I could spot was on the back under "Acq: Free Agent". Series 1 has #TOPPSBASEBALL, while Series 2 has an @ symbol after perhaps an Instagram(???) icon.

No other player, best that I could determine, received the honor of having 2 cards show up in the 2019 Topps base set.

Not sure what's going on here, but just thought I'd point it out. Feel free to comment...or not.
