I can't tell the difference between them like with regular Topps cards. Are the Tiffany glossy?

Yes, there's a thick shiny coat on the Tiffany of these. From scans it makes the white border on front look a bit yellowed, but they're very obvious in hand. Sportzcommish wrote: I can't tell the difference between them like with regular Topps cards. Are the Tiffany glossy?

I didn't know these had Tiffanies. Now I want some. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
