1998-99 Upper Deck Hockey Forum

I am confused about the the basic and parralel sets.

Between this database and Beckett, it APPEARS that:

Base Set: Silver foil, no lettering in the lower right black box on the back

Gold Reserves: Beckett says identical to Base Set, but gold foil instead of silver.  It looks all the image examples in the tcdb ALSO have UD Exclusives lettering but no serial numbers.

UD Exclusives parallel: Gold foil, with UD Exclusives lettering and serial number OTHER THAN 1/1.

UD Exclusives parallel 1/1: Gold foil, with UD Exclusives lettering and serial number 1/1.

Okay, here's my dilemma: I have a few silver foils, and a WHOLE BUNCH OF GOLD foils but NO lettering in thst black box, in other words identical to the base set other than the color of the foil.  Are there TWO TYPES of the Gold Reserve set- one with the black box devoid of any lettering, and one with words but no serial numbers?

The regular Upper Deck Exclusives SN100 parallel is bronze foil ... more brownish than the Gold Reserve. I just updated the Release Notes (pending Admin approval) for the regular Exclusives SN100 and Exclusives 1/1 to reduce confusion.

COMC shows the Gold Reserve cards as not having any "UD Exclusives" text on the back, so that's what you have, but I'm not sure what all TCDB's scans are. Possible aftermarket?

Or the uploader thought their Bronze UD Exclusives are Gold Reserve.

It does look to me like they are bronze UD Exclusives, not Gold Reserve. The bronze cards were all uploaded by the same person so Chuck is probably right. Scans from other contributors are gold, and have no Exclusives writing on the back. I don't know why there are no serial numbers on the Exclusives though.

The uploader took the images from Beckett Marketplace. Looks like we need a bunch of IRs

84 IRs are in to remove the Beckett mockups, all were in Series One

I have quite a few from that set, so I'll be able to replace some of the mockup images that will be removed.
