1997-98 Pacific Omega Hockey Forum

hi. does anybody please describe me a diference between base card and dark grey version? i bought earlier both version via beckett (other versions also), but the two cards are the same (just silver), or i am not able to find any diferences. even from the scans on this site. other versions are clear: gold is gold, emerald green is green etc. thanks

The foil is a darker silver. You can definately tell the difference

I scanned this one a while ago:

Compare it to dobbie's scan of the base card:

You'll see even in the scans how the base shines (like silver) while the drak gray is much less shiny and is dark. In hand, they are very easy to tell the difference. Silver foil tends to scan very dark (sometimes even black), which is what makes this difficult to identify through scans.

thank you guys. so they (beckett) made a mistake then. i will try to get dark grey version somewhere again ;)

Check this site to see if anyone has one for trade or gift. If your wantlist was visible members could check. Also at the bottom of the collection summary you can check who has cards for sale or trade for the set. 

thanks for tips and trick. i am just discovering this site ;)
