Dumb 2018 Heritage question

[darkhorse9]

I'm sorting through my recent pick up of 2018 Topps Heritage cards and noticed something.

Does anyone know why the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nations players have their team name in the white box on the back of their cards, while the other teams don't?

Both of those franchises did not exist in 1968 -- perhaps a way to tell them apart. No idea, but that's my guess

Doesn't make sense. All the other franchises that didn't exist in 68 don't get the same treatment.

Sometimes Topps just makes errors/differences. Doesn't have to be intentional. Now if they were made two different ways and one was short-printed, that would be an intentional choice.

Right! So there might be short prints without the names on the back or short prints with the name on the back of teams that would otherwise have the names in that box on the back.
