These card fronts are very sharp with crisp photographs. The backs are aligned nicely and easy to read. A great change from the previous few years from Topps, which all had some wild and hard to read fonts. I think that was a 1990s thing and not a good thing! | ||
Just submitted a variation addition request. All the 200-207 Prospects subset cards do indeed have flipped fronts as I've just completed the full run. kesslerm is right re: correct version, as the Series 2 subset has all cards with the PROSPECTS banner along the left side of the cards as the backs are oriented vertically top to bottom.

Yikes, there is a solid 5 or 6 year period where the design choice for these cards is terrible. Hard to look at, let alone read. | ||
There are variants in the 200-207 cards. Not sure if all, but some have the back side upside down. I believe the correct would be the left side of the front be the top of the back side. I have 201, 202, 205 with the back upside down but don't see those variations listed here. | ||

The Barry Bonds variation card alone makes this set worth acquiring. |
