Saw this pop up on TCDB Twitter:

Looks like 22 cards from Series One where the players have special characters in the name are printed differently in the factory set.

I noticed that the JRod and Acuna are the ASG FS version. You can't tell what version the others are due to them being covered up. So need to see if it's all FS versions affected as well or just the ASG version. My guess, all, but it is Topps.... 

I just received my FS (green Target for reference) and cracked it open. Yes, I crack my FS's open, sue me!!!!! Anyhow, I found the J. Rodriguez card so I can compare. From this particular FS version there is no difference in the font type. I'll try to pull the others out and see what holds true. Could be very well, that only the ASG versions are affected (thankfully for this VAR collector).

I found it interesting that this difference was found 2 weeks prior to the Factory Sets being released.  I'm guessing this is just the ASG versions.

I have a hand collated set, so I'd be happy if I didn't have to purchase an entire factory set and would only have to get the 5 card rookie insert set.
