SHORT PRINT - NOT THE BASE PHOTO

This is the Image Variation short print, catalogued as #US12b. It shares the card number with the base but uses a completely different photograph, and it is seeded far more thinly than the base card.

Why This Card Matters

Goldschmidt went 4-for-5 with three home runs in his second game as a Cardinal after the December 2018 trade, and the card back credits him as a four-time National League Silver Slugger with 209 home runs and a .297 average through eight seasons. He would win the National League MVP three years later. Topps seeds these image variations at short-print odds inside Update packs, which is why the arms-out photo comps at roughly double the batting-stance base card.
