So you have to look at the visual checklists like the ones on baseballcardpedia.com to make sure you have the right versions.

I found you need about three different sources to get full lists, especially if you just collect a specific team or player. Topps really went overkill on the variations and extras starting about 6-7 years ago and hasn't let up.
