Can someone check my sanity please. In the midst of reconciling my collection (DB vs spreadsheet) and I came across a head scratcher. A few years ago I bought the 2009 Topps FB in FS form which also included the 5 card Rookie variations. While double checking these inserts I found that I have the below card (2nd link) instead of the one that should have been included (top link). Both cards were scanned by the same person on the same date so maybe he got them switched? External validation one way or other appreciated. Thank you.

Bump

FWIW, Beckett lists the versions as A (regular base), B (SP), and C, and mentions the "C" versions are the ones inserted into the retail factory sets. They have the "C" card listed as "running to camera's left" while the "B" version is "Catching pose, football in hands."

That's how this set used to be listed in here as well before we broke out the inserts into their own set. The one listed as the SP (361b) is the one I have in hand I got from the FS. So I'm wondering if Beckett screwed it all up. Hoping someone who has also opened a FS can confirm so adjustments can be made, as necessary.
