“ Was actually able to find packs of these at my local Walgreens that is not in fact in the UK. Fascinating pick up and even got a few numbered cards. The base card is literally the exact same as the normal Topps set except for the UK flag at the top left, but the parallels are fun and exciting. ” -jdogg1228

“ The backs of the UK edition should explain baseball using only slang from various regions of the UK. ” -DarthTempest

“ So... I have some of these, I haven't really looked, but I'm wondering if they translate the backs into British English. ” -ray fosse's ghost

“ Nice looking "parallel" set. Yes yes I know it isn't a true parallel set as it was distributed separately and exclusively in the UK and only has a third of the number of cards in it than the base USA based flagship base set. ” -captkirk42
“ A UK edition? Something I didn't know. As for the card itself... With the exception of the unreadable position in the bottom right, I liked the '22s. ” -Rick Gentry

“ I'd like it better if in addition to the Union Jack on the front there was some cockney phrasing on the back. ” -tenlbpain

“ No clue why they need a different edition for the UK— I thought it might be a change to the units for the height and weight measurements, but those are still in feet + inches and pounds. Same with the date format being in North American month/day/year rather than European day/month/year. There doesn't seem to be a difference beyond the Union Jack in the corner. ” -twinswin
