I liked when Topps did the Gold variant like this. You can easily tell it is a parallel and easy to read unlike years like 1993 when the gold parallel only varied because of the gold foil used for the lettering and the area surrounding the gold foiled text.

I collect: Baseball, Football, Hockey, Mostly Vintage pre1980, My Homie teams - Washington/Baltimore Teams Senators (Twins, Rangers), Expos/Nationals, Redskins, Capitals, Bullets/Wizards - HOFers - Non-sport (mostly TV shows and movies).

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

2008T was the worst at this. Slightly tinted gold foil instead of silver foil makes for missed parallel. What's the point? captkirk42 wrote: I liked when Topps did the Gold variant like this.
