Head over to the Card Identification Forum where you can upload pictures directly to the site. There are plenty of cardboard bloodhounds that can track down cards quickly. A scan of the both front and back is helpful.

Additionally, in putting my database in, I came up with (7) cards that I have questions about matching with the database.

1987 card of French [Canadian?] origin that has no blatant print ownership. The card has Gwynn on one side...and Fernando Valenzuela on the other.
I have a 2nd version of the 1997 Topps Hobby Masters HM5 that does NOT have the Diffraction Foil.
1997 Upper Deck Memorable Moments [a wavy Die Cut] 5 of 10.
My 1999 Pacific Aurora Sample from the 20th National Show in ATL.
My 1999 Pacific Aurora Pennant Fever Autograph #16 [60/97]
My 2002 Donruss Best of Fan Club Die Cut #19
My 2021 Panini Prizm Green Wave Prizm doesn't exactly match the one pictured.

Since they did not have a match in the database, they remain un-catalogued, except for the Panini Prizm, which I flagged as the Green Wave Prizm (in spite of the fact that the diffraction does not match).

I have a picture of them, but I have to pin them to a website, apparently...to add it. Let me consider my options...wish I could just attach the file, but that's not how that works, here.

EDIT: I made it the Profile Pic temporarily...

I've included links to some of the cards you described. No idea about #2 (maybe a 'no-foil' variant was issued but hasn't been logged here) and Prizm variants seem to require a PhD to differentiate!

Maybe #7 is a teal wave? (https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/277185/cid/16957837)

Thank you for the help. I obviously glossed over the DFC Die Cut - I put in some long hours getting everything catalogued...by the time I hit 2002, I was probably a little fried.

Obviously, my '87 is only a PARTIAL of what is a strip, so I'll have to figure out whether I will log it in or not, since I don't actually own the full card.

The Hobby Masters HM5 will just require more research - every reference indicates that the insert set was produced on diffraction foil board, with no reference to exception...but this one lacks it.

I'll submit images on the Pennant Fever Auto...not sure how i missed that one, but I did. The Convention Foil stamping Aurora will likely warrant a new submission, as I already have the SAMPLE card you linked to.

As for the Panini Prizm, I looked at both the Green and Teal Wave...and settled on Green. The Prizmatic effect is just leaving me squeamish about the veracity of my claim.

Again...my gratitude to public and private contributions.
