I can't decide what to call these two...
I consider the base cards plus all the variations as part of the complete team set. I have included cards like the Legends SP, Pie in the Face SP, Jeter/Red Sox, or Joba Astros/Reverse Image SPs on my team checklists. But all of these had different images than the original base card and so they were clearly variations (and not parallels) in my view.
This year, however Topps has created base variations which use the same picture but feature a sparkle or a difference is the background tint. I am not sure what to consider these? The color tint variations remind me of the Topps Cracker Jack which had blue/grey background parallels. So I am leaning towards considering them as parallels. I feel the same way about the Topps Sparkle SPs that feature the same pictures as the base cards.
These two subsets look very much like a parallel set but are are technically listed as "variations" because parallel would need to parallel the entire base set. Anyway, I have been going back and forth on this matter, still haven't made up my mind. Want to see what others though and would appreciate any input as to what to call these.
