Question on 2018 Topps Heritage set

I picked up what was advertised as the base set (cards 1-400) just for some fun and nostalgia. Very cool set and worth the $20 plus shipping.
My question is: What constitutes a base set? There are around 5 checklists but they all say "1st Series" and the last one lists cards through #500. Is the 'base' set 400 cards and the cards #400-500 a special series?

401-500 are short prints
Getting all the SP's was both fun and tedious Daniel.
20 clams for the base set is a good deal IMO.
Tho, I believe people are realizing that Topps went nuts on the print run this year.
The last Master Set with all subsets went for under 300 bucks - that's a really good price for the buyer IMO.
I agree with this 100%. I sold my master set with the 5 subsets and Target and Walmart decal set for $400 last week and I'm glad I did. I'm thinking I will be able to replace it in the next 6 months for about 1/2 that price if I decide to. I still have 6-8 base sets left with all of the stuff I ripped.
Thanks for the help all. I really do like the retro sets. I love how the write-ups on the back are of the same writing style from back then. The cartoons are great too.
Me too Daniel.
And I have an idea that they're no longer doing the artwork on white file card-like material with pen and ink.
I'll bet they're done by computer somehow?
If not? When they put them up for sale? I'll be there!
