This is Cabrera's 14th year in Opening Day. He has been in every set since 2004 (there was no set in 2009).

Cabrera has had short printed photo variations in 2014, 2017 and this year.

Topps used the same base photo for Cabrera's cards in Series 1 and the Factory Team set, but he also had a short print variation in Series 1.

Something I learned because of this card: Cabrera might have the most base cards in Opening Day history. He certainly has a long consecutive strak going. I look forward to finding the answer to this as the season goes on and I can evaluate each set.
