2024 Bowman Heritage Break, Anyone?

More from 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary!

I continue to check eBay every now and then looking for some of the many, many Barry Larkin cards that I still need from the 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set.  As luck would have it, I stumbled across a seller that had two different Larkin cards that I needed - so of course I jumped on them!

The first is this Platinum Toile Cream/Fuchsia Atomic Refractor numbered out of 100.


The other card was a similar looking Platinum Toile Cream/Rose Gold Refractor numbered out of only 75 copies.


Honestly, the differences between those two cards is quite minimal, the Cream/Rose Gold border is ever so slightly lighter in color - luckily the serial numbering is different or else I don't know how anyone would know which card they were holding if they didn't have the other card to hold up for comparison.  (To me, the differences are clear in the scans but much less clear when holding the cards in person...maybe I need better lighting at my desk?!)

Are these parallels pointless?  Of course.  Does that stop me from trying to track them down?  Nope, not at all.  I think I have problem!
