There are no Comments on this set. What is the difference between the Base Set and the "Foil" parallel set? It's not clear from the uploaded images. The "Premium Stock" parallel set is obviously the silver foil. Thank you.

The foil parallel has a thin layer of silverish foil on the card. It's hard to see in the scans. Heck, sometimes it's hard to see in hand; baseball had something similar. If you see some of the scans, they are darker, that's because of this foil overlay.

And now I know I'll reap the seeds I've sown

The "Foil" parallel was printed on reflective foil paper. ------------------------------- -- Dan -- Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 3/4/2024). I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned on (details are in my profile).

Also, sometimes called "foilboard". ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
