If anyone is interested, I think I've figured out the difference between the V1 and V2 versions of the Aqua, Blue, Gold, Gold Auto, and Red parallels.
Sorry for the COMC images (which are for examples in this post only) but this was the best I could find quickly.
I'm not sure which is considered by Fanatics/Topps/Bowman to be V1 or V2, so I don't know how they should be noted in the DB. But anyway, one version has a black outer border/ring with stars that is also present as an inner ring. The other version maintains the color scheme on the outer border and the corresponding inner ring.
Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.
