In assembling my '07 Topps Cubs Team set I noticed Michael Barrett seems to have two cards, numbers 68 and 492. Is this true, or is it an error with this database? I ask because the cards appear to be exactly the same except for the card number. |

My Becket's guide lists both numbers as Michael Barrett and that's what I have, too. Just another Topps screwup. |

Broke out my factory set (which was already opened, just waiting to get a case of pages), and card 492 is listed on the checklist on the box as John Buck. The card is John Buck. Card number 68 is indeed Michael Barrett.

PS: I reported the John Buck factory set variation. When it shows up, I'll scan it in.

I stand corrected. Shouldn't have gone off memory and Becketts. Vroomed is right. I also found that there are two 2007 Gary Sheffields--470 and 133, but maybe you knew that.

vrooomed - But what's strange is at this database if you look at the '07 Topps set it shows a card of Michael Barrett with card #492. Either somebody did some Photoshopping to merge the Michael Barrett card and the #492 or else two different cards numbered 492 exist. |

I was thinking maybe in the packs of cards Topps put 492 as Barrett but fixed it for the factory sets.
I don't know, but I only know what *I* have. Who scanned in the 492-Barrett???

Factory set version(?) is scanned and posted. Will this start people buying the factory set now?

Vroomed, there was a I time where I might have bought a whole factory set for that variation. And I guarantee my uncle would have.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

There are also two
(2) Mike Rabelo
cards - #294 &
#636. Same cards,
different numbers.
HOWEVER, in the
factory sets, #636
was replaced with a
rookie card of
Billy Butler.
Not my site, but I
found this online:

I have a scan of
Billy Butler and
will add when
database is updated.
