grim25 added the set (albeit about 8 years ago), but maybe he can shed some light on this one. I seem to recall that the cards have a silver edge to them as opposed to the white edge of the "base" set - but I could be incorrect there.

I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).

You have to look at the very thin edge of each card, not the border. One is silver, the other isn't. Easier to tell if you're holding the entire set but still noticeable with individual cards.
I went through this a while back when I had both cards in my Clemens collection and put one in my pile of duplicates for a while!

OH you mean the very edge of the card looking at it from the very thin side? Like how playing card decks would sometimes have gold leaf along the outer edge? Something that can only be seen looking at the cards from the thickness side/edge.

I don't know that for sure, but I don't think so. I have some decks in the original boxes at home, but not these decks, I think. I'll check this weekend. The "Packaging" photos on the set pages look like the same as the ones I do have though. If that's the case, it's a cardboard box without any clear window to see the cards. Probably no indication on the box itself.

I don't have any of the 1991 boxes, but there are pictures on the set page under Packaging
