What types of cards are being called something different than they once were.

For example Topps black cards used to be Walmart black cards.

I mean where most of the card or entire card except the player is blacked out.

Go look at 2009 and you will see them being called Walmart cards.

Topps vintage stock used to be Target.

What other cards are like this?

Mega Box cards are ridiculously called Mojo.

Off the top of my head, 2009 and 2010 featured black border Walmart exclusives. These were non-numbered cards, whereas the blacks are typically a low #d /60 or so, at this point. In those years, those black sets were two distinct, different sets. For example, for 2010, you could grab a Stanton Black RC (black walmart) OR you could get a Stanton black border parallel (#d). They’re both out there.

Same with the vintage stock. Starting in 2016, the vintage stock /99 parallels came out. In 2015, a retail gold border set was produced using the same vintage Topps logo on the front, but again, it was a totally different set.

The names didn’t change; the sets were completely different things.

Well everyone used to call bat and jersey cards "Game used card" but now they are "relic cards". I guess mainly because a lot of the relic cards today aren't actually game used :/
