2023 Topps Heritage Baseball Forum

I Just opened a Blaster box from Wlamart. In one pack i pulled a Jeter Downs base card and at the back was a Jeter Down Purple Chrome card. The thiing that is puzzling to me is the Base card is with the Washington Nationals and the Purple Chrome card is with the Boston Red Sox. Looking at the 2 cards the photo is the same for both cards. Has anyone else seen this? Are their other players in the set that have cards with 2 teams?

Is he in a Nationals uniform on the Purple Chrome card?

It's something that has occured a few times, I specially remember 2018 Heritage Marcell Ozuna, because the Cardinals had just traded for him, his base card was in Cardinals uniform and his purple/chrome cards were in the Marlins uniform.  That matches your finding this year with Downs, base is new team, chrome is still old team. 

I would assume the chromes are made earlier in printing or their process doesn't allow for quick airbrush modification.  There are a lot of airbrush cards this year in Heritage.  I bought a Target Mega box and realized that both Murphy and Bellinger are shown on it in their A's and Cubs uniforms, same poses as the base, but the release card has updated team uniforms painted on.

The real kicker is on the Target Mega box there is a card for Nolen Arenado, which doesn't exist in the actual release set, so i wonder where that went???

He is in a Red Sox uniform on the purple chrome card

Joe Dunand has a marlins card in 2022 topps. Same picture with a Braves uniform photoshopped on in the holiday set.  I only noticed because I collect former NC State players.  I tricked my sons into believing the same fans were at both games. It’s the little joys of fatherhood 

I have a question regarding this set. I'm currently opening up a few blasters and noticed that none of the Angels cards that I've pulled have their city Los Angeles in the top left corner like all the other teams have I've seen so far. Is this the case?

This has already been discussed in at least two other threads here and is also mentioned at either Beckett or Cardboard Connection. No errors, that's just how Topps did them. Many people find it to be ugly, lazy, or "incomplete".
