If it's got a Tardis on the front instead of the 'DW' logo, it will be a shortfall variant card.
What is a shortfall variant card? Is there only one of it?
Thanks!

It seems that Topps have put a selection of un-numbered gold foil parallel cards into their packs (~1 per case). They have a small Tardis on the front of the card instead of a 'DW' symbol, hence people are calling them variants. They do not appear to be unique, but are extremely rare.

I've just been through my cards again and I've got 2 base cards with the Tardis instead of the DW logo. I reckon there might one of those per box regardless of foil colour.

Thanks for the info!

You must have been unlucky. I just opened 2 more boxes and got 1 in each box.

DOCTOR WHO (TOPPS 2015)
Opened a case of this much anticipated product from Topps 2015.
I found when I opened the package that within the external packaging the case had been opened (possibly by customs).
Base x6
Inserts Companions x7 Gadgets x3 Who is the doctor x3 Christmas Time x4 Memorable Moments x14
Tardis Cards (Variants) Base x13 Gold x2
Parallel cards Limited to 199 - 52 cards Limited to 99 - 26 Limited to 50 - 13
Autos Deborah Watling Jimmy Vee Paul McGann 5/50 Struan Rodger 23/25
Costume Cards Rory Williams Ood x3 Sally Sparrow x2
Tardis Patch Cards Patch cards unnumbered x6 Limited to 99 - x5 Limited to 25 - Martha Jones 9/25
Was a bit disturbed when I found the case open, but it was perfect collation. Thought I was an auto short, but probably got an extra plate instead. Nice set overall, Topps have done a good job, but I cannot understand the purpose of having more insert sets of a particular insert compared to the number of base sets compiled within a case. It doesn't make any sense.
Variants are interesting, as this set only covers a limited part of the base set and not all of them; our friend Jeff Allender will have fun trying to find out the complete list of these.

I got 2 boxes and got the following
1) 2 patch cards ( Barbara Wright and the The Second Doctor)
2) 1 Costume Card ( The Ood)
3) 1 Autograph Card( Catrin Steward as Jenny Flint 31/50)
and I also got the right amount of chase and parallel cards
Overall very happy with what I pulled
From a very happy Millhouse

Everybody seems to be seeing the same 17, and the speculation is that these are all of them.
(1-9-10-11-12-25-31-37-38-41-42-43-45-59-87-163-165. I haven't seen gold TARDIS versions of 10-37-43 yet.)This message has been edited. Last edited by: allender,
