So as I'm organizing some of my cards, I realize that I can't find any way to distinguish between the Diamond Best and the Diamond Best Gold cards from this set. I don't see any obvious difference, either between the cards I possess, or the cards with images here on the site. They both appear to be stamped with gold leaf. Can anyone help me figure out what I must be missing so I can find out which vesion of which cards I have? Thanks!

The Team Best logo is in gold foil and there are 4 diamonds above it.
Compare:
Base ^ Gold ^

Thanks, Vroomed, but I'm asking about the distinction between the Diamond Best and the Diamond Best Gold, not the base set. Both inserts appear to be the same. Here is the Diamond Best -

and the Diamond Best Gold

Just looking at the pictures that are here on either listing, and comparing ebay and COMC listings, it LOOKS to me as if they are the same insert set listed twice, which is why I'm asking if there is a distinction between the two that I'm somehow missing.

What it looks like to me is that the Diamonds best have a silver looking foil in the 4 diamonds and the gold has a gold looking foil in the diamonds. Granted I own none of these cards and am going of the scans and... Foil sucks to scan!

Looks like we have our listing wrong.

Diamond Best is a 10-card insert set, not another parallel.

See, that's what I was trying to figure out too, because all of the cards like that I have are gold foil, but some sellers listed them as Diamond Best and others as Diamond Best Gold, and then with the two checklists, I figured that I must be missing some small but crucial distinction.

I put in a couple of "generic" IRs to get the sets fixed. It might take a while. There A LOT of work that needs to be done to clean this one up.
