I know several collectors have been asking on the forums about which are the SP's when buying boxes or packs or blasters. The main ones that are difficult to identify right away are the error variations.
This was posted on another forum and shows what Topps did for the errors based on the original 1963 set:
http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Errors.cfm/sid/60/1963-Topps
So the errors are corresponding to the card numbers of these players:
Darwin Barney - missing position on front of card
Kerry Wood - wrong player photo used
Dan Haren - wrong player photo used
Ryan Madson - 2 variations, one with a white slash on the small circle photo through his body, the other with a edited slash
Carlos Pena - says "Complete Major and Minor League Batting Record" when it should just be Major
Julio Teheran - card number on back is on orange background instead of the normal white box
Mike Stanton - stat column on back was mislabeled 'W' for wins when it should be 'R' for runs (original card was a pitcher and the 'W' was an 'R')
along with two of the Rookie Stars cards, Nos. 29 and 54. - The year on the front of the card was a year earlier (2012 is replaced with 1962)
There is still some sorting out including who is the wrong players used for Wood and Haren, but this list above should be close to what's coming out of packs. Heritage collectors can feel free to comment if I missed something, but just wanted to post this to help some people out.
