| If you look at the 3 sets of cards issued by Topps for Dr Who you will also see the same image used in more than one set regards John Levitt ____________________

| Just for the record, and maybe I'm getting confused by your terminology here, are you talking about variants or parallel cards?
I know that some of the Star Wars cards have different colors and the Tek set have different background patterns, all with the same images. I would call that parallel cards.
To me variants means that there is something intentionally or unintentionally different about the same card. For example a patch card might have a yellow swatch, but the variant is a green one. The parallel is the same card in a different color, or with foil, or numbered, or something along those lines.
I don't really recall a whole set ever being referred to as a variant. However maybe that's a new one now since stuff keeps changing. |

| Same with Walking dead, it's a big pain. |

| I don't do Star Wars cards, only because I can't afford all those sets, but the parallels released by other companies, mainly Rittenhouse, have all but brought my card collecting to a grinding halt. |

| I think there are way too many and just don't understand the appeal of parallels . The card image is the same, just a different colour and artificially limited by a number stamped on it. However reading other forums and from selling them myself it is clear some collectors love them and pay what I would consider crazy prices for them. So long as I can sell mine to fund buying other cards I don't mind them . |
