Big and Small We Love Them All

Get ready for a little deception.  Here is what may be the first Ron Santo card that Topps has produced in years.  Ron's not wearing his uniform but I'm guessing he does have on his "gamer".  If you're a Santo fan you'll know what I'm talking about.

I recently picked up these two cards, actually buying the second one first.  The gold version is numbered 5/10.  It's a little hard to see but it's in silver at the bottom left hiding in the Wrigley ivy.
Both cards are set at x-large on Blogger.  Are they the same, though.  Scroll down for the answer.
























Here they are in the same scan.  The gold version is a full 5" x 7".  I'm guessing Topps issued these online as a set.  Right?  I was glad to add a couple of new cheap cards to my Santo collection.  As I write this the Cubs are sitting at 100 wins for the first time in over 80 years.  As Ronnie would say, "THIS IS THE YEAR!"
