I already have the Bob Gibson #415 variation in 2009 Topps. I thought that was the only Cardinals player with a variation. I was just on TEAMSETS4U.COM and it show that there is a #10 Rogers Hornsby and a #320 Johnny Mize. Can someone confirm this? I can't find them on Ebay. Thanks.

    Never mind. I just confirmed Hornsby on Ebays completed items for $8 and $12.

    OK, I'm completely confused about these "variations".

    I just looked on ebay for any Padres in the set, and found Willie McCovey (#UH260). Nearly all the cards I found are listed as a "SP" and "variation", but they all appear identical.

    Just what is the "variation" in the card?

    I also went to the Topps website, and they don't even have the 2009 Topps Update set listed.

    I guess this is a good reason why I don't collect new stuff (except for certain Padre and Charger cards). It's just all too confusing and impossible to keep up with, especially when you can't even get a stinking checklist of what's available! image

    Not sure about the Update set, but with Series 1 and Series 2 the SP or "variation" cards are HOF "legends" that replace a modern player. For example, card #1 in the base set is AROD, but there is a SP version of card #1 as well and that is Babe Ruth. 20 cards in Series 1 and 20 cards in Series 2. The SPs were rather difficult to come by. Only one per Jumbo hobby box and the odds were less for regular hobby and retail.

    2009 UH has 325 as Robinson and another player and 150 Cobb and another player. Both Cobb and Robinson had the name in gold. Unsure of other players. That's what I found in my pulls.

    Thanks guys...that explains it image

    I just looked again on ebay, and there's also a #UH260 of Ryan Howard.

    It's all just a bit too gimicky for me. Topps is trying to make people believe they have a complete set (one of each card number), when they really don't image

    Roger Maris is in a Cardinals uniform in the Update set. A little gimicky, but it's ok, I guess. I just need all the Cardinals. That's 3 more at $8 to $10 each.
