US162 Yu Darvish – Rangers (No Hat and looking cool in Sunglasses)
US166 Chipper Jones – Braves (Pointing to fans in the back of a car, great photo)
US241 Curtis Granderson – Yankees (Looking very happy pointing with sunglasses on)

US327 Chris Sale – White Sox (With Teammates At All-Star Game)
– The “Code” on the back of these cards was once used to determine if the cards were variations appears to be the same as the base cards. However, the Photos are somewhat more obvious than in previous variation sets.
– One easy way to tell which card is the variation is by seeing the photo on the parallel cards. Topps usually only prints the Gold #/2012 and other parallels with the standard photo.
– I see tons of these for sale, so I took the “SP” from the label on these.
SP Base Variation Cards
US1 Adrian Gonzalez – Dodgers
US2 Carl Crawford – Dodgers
US3 Josh Beckett – Dodgers
US4 Nick Punto – Dodgers
US5 James Loney – Red Sox
US6 Kevin Youkilis – White Sox
US7 Jim Thome – Orioles
These cards are different players than the corresponding base set card. These are all guys that got traded late in the season in key deals for these teams.
These I believe to be relatively rare however US37 is Billy Butler and George Brett, but I see many George Brett’s for sale – but buy at your own risk. Topps doesn’t put out information because they think it helps drive interest, but I see lots of people getting ripped of on eBay, let alone what happens elsewhere.

Bryce Harper highlights the Golden Moments autos, and the
checklist contains some interesting names. Mark Hamburger
is basically out of baseball and Jason Grilli is a journeyman
type pitcher. With no serial numbering on the base versions
of these – it’s easy to assume that the top names are much
more short print than the ‘lesser’ names in this set.
