2022 Topps Baseball Forum

For the first time ever, I purchased a factory set.  Included in the set are 3 Rookie (Image Variation) Bonus cards.  I believe this has been handled in past (factory) sets as an insert, labeled as available only in factory sets. The same 3 players had SP cards available, name numbers, but these are different photos. 
If someone wants points, the 3 cards are:

#658 - Spencer Torkelson 
#659 - Julio Rodriguez 
#660 - Bobby Witt Jr.   

All 3 cards say: Complete Sets under the number, instead of Series Two.  
In case anyone is wondering, the Series 2 "base" cards #558, #559 & #660 were also included in the factory set. 

Actually, based on what Cardboard Connection has posted, this is similar to the 2018 factory set. Then, they added Acuna and Torres to the set itself and they are added in here as VARs in the main checklist. There is a separate Rookie variation pack of 5 that should have been included. My set doesn't get here til next week so I can't personally verify.

I didn't realize there were so many different "variations" available in several different factory sets. I bought a Red Box, for $50 + tax, which appears to be the Hobby factory set. I can confirm my box had, as mentioned before, the 3 rookie variations and the 5 foilboard parallel cards SN390. 
I'll patiently wait for the "powers to be" to decide how all the different cards will be listed. 
 

I bought the All Star Stamped factory set at the Play Ball Park in LA and I also have three rookie variations including Torkelson, Rodriguez, and Witt Jr which also have the complete sets under the number. 

As I'm entering my factory set I'm noticing something with the main checklist. As I am verifying the VARs added it looks like 4 of the 5 Rookie Variation Bonus cards, ones that have their own insert set, are entered into the main checklist as well. The VAR descriptions for Duran, Franco, March, Baz and Cruz all match what the Rookie Variation cards have on them. Did we double enter these cards or are the main checklist VARs similar, but different, than the Rookie Variation cards from the factory set?

Also, I think the Rookie Variations are UERs (Release Note material). Mine and the scans here both have Chrome listed under the card number despite being paper stock.

Edit: I lied, I found the Marsh, all 5 are in the main checklist.

Edit 2: Sigh, should have seen the Release Note...

I was just going to make a new post regarding these VARs (Specifically the 5 pack) 

I don't see them in the main CL as you stated. Am I stupid? (Don't anwser that)

Doh! Thank you 

Still haven't seen an answer on the questions posed though. I'm fairly sure we have these listed twice.

Nvm. Should have looked at the checklist. All good now....
