I see an Expos Vlad in the images above. Does that count?

Truth. It's oddly fascinating how Topps has struggled to reproduce (or just have been too lazy to care about) some of these designs over the past few years.

I agree as a Nationals fan it is frustrating when the team gets underrepresented in the card distribution. I think a big part of it has to do with their history of feilding terrible teams. Oddly the 2019 team didn't get much love from the trading card industry in 2020 when they should have been plastered everywhere as the World Champions.
I guess if you aren't the old guard Yanks, Saux or Dodgers you ain't nothin.

If anyone has taken the time to study the Archives & Heritage sets, along with the Throwback Anniversary sets, Topps has always done this with the fonts or spacing, or a little something that shows that these are not the original cards. It's like they are doing it on purpose.

I don’t count them as a Nats card because they don’t count as a Nats card on here. There are some expos in the checklist but they aren’t my thing. I do have a few but I’m not going out of my way to buy a parallel of them.

I can name a few sets of WS cards.
Flagship Topps had some base and inserts.
Topps Stickers
Topps Heritage
And that’s about all I can get off the top of my head.

I hear you, it was sorta tongue in cheek. I certainly don’t collect old St Louis Browns from the years before they became the Orioles.
