I'm having a hard time with something. I collect anythng Erik Bedard with the Orioles and I cannot for the life of me tell the difference between retail and hobby versions of his 2007 ultra base card. I'd like to add one of each to my collection but I actually want to make sure I really have 1 of each and not 2 of the same. I know the gold medallion are easier to tell apart since one is numbered but the base cards I am unsure of. Please help!!
Been an issue for years.
I build the hobby or SE set and constantly had to deal with people trading me the retail
Easiest way to describe it is the name and logo on the retail copies is not light reflective and looks more like aluminum foil where as on the hobby it is more holographic looking or light reflective

Ahh gotcha. I'll have to go take a closer look at mine. Thank you for the help
So, basically silver foil to holofoil?
