Precious Metal??? - ntegeler - 08-26-2012
I was wondering if someone could help me figure something out. I ran across 3 cards... 1996-97 Fleer Metal cards that say "Metallized" on the bottom. What I can't remember is how to tell if they are precious metal ones or not. I tried to do my own research on google and other selling sites but its too hard for me to distinguish the difference between the two on a scanned card. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

I appreciate the help so far. But here are the scans so I can get clarification....
Apparently I don't know how to put scans on a thread. It keeps telling me its to big when I crop them like I would anywhere else. But other members can make their scans as big as my computer screen??? I will keep messing with it and get them up as soon as I can. Sorry guys.

yeah a lot of people are confused by these because they werent marked,when i was a kid i opened a ton of these retail boxes and probably threw a few in the common box.i did manage to have a Kevin Garnett in the books and never knew it was a PMG until the mid 2000's haha.No problem at all!
