A bit of research indicates that the double might be a hobby edition. There are 150 cards in this set. Zistle shows that there are variants for the last 50 cards. The cards are cataloged as 1##H. But I don't know how to determine which is which. So, let's look at a few examples.
First up, Sean Pierce. No clue. I'll go with the second one as the hobby card. There is a rail fence in the second shot. Maybe where he ties up the polo ponies. That's a hobby.

Drew Henson. Boy, this is a tough one. I'll go with the second one again. Fielding looks like a hobby. Batting looks like work.

Carl Crawford. Second one. Again. Almost a smile on his face. Almost.

Il Kim. No clue. I'll go with the second one as the hobby card. No spikes. Must be a hobby.

So, a little help, please?
Sorry, don't have an answer to your question. But I really like the idea of having dual photos for players. Sounds like it would be fun to build this set.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an answer either (wasn't collecting then). But I know it irked some collectors. It's also the inspiration for what Stadium Club did when it returned in 2008, and whoo boy did people not like that!
