Metal looks like a Topps Chrome card. The Gold is just a glossy version of the regular card with a gold/rainbow effect.

There's a dead giveaway.... Look at the O-Pee-Chee logo. On the Gold cards, it is bordered in white. On the metal and metal-x, it's bordered in silver. If you can't tell, it's metal or metal-x. Also, the metals and metal-x's tend to be curved and feel more like plastic, the golds are generally flat and feel like cardboard.

And the metals tend to have a slight natural bend to them.
The metal ones also only come in the Update packs
