Topps 2011 Card Question

[YoungAtHeart23]

I have 3 cards that have a different topps logo than the others I opened. The cards looks base, but the back is more old school. SOrry I dont have a scan right now.
For example Derek Jeter card #330 has a different topps logo than the others. The (t) loops under the (opps) Also, the back is the old school brown cardboard than the others which are more glossy finish.
My Josh Hamilton card is the same way and one other card.

Why are they diffrent than the others? Just curious.

I think there were certain cards that were inserted in either boxes at Target or WalMart that had the 'old cardboard' type backs. Like you bought a blaster you would get one extra pack in there that had all the cards like this. They may have also been inserted into like jumbo packs as well. Not totally sure. I have some as well. I think they are harder to come by honestly. Not sure if a true short print, but certainly they seem harder to find.

Thanks for the reply. I think they are harder to come by as well. I saw a ton of Jeters sold on Ebay, none were the card we are refering to.

exactly - I guess they are not worth millions? Heh?

No, but a kind of cool variation to try and collect of your team or player. Which to me is what the chase is all about!
