Based on your scan I'd say you were right as well. The Illuminator is partially see through. I have all 3 variations for McGwire. Here is the Illuminator:
Luminous = regular card
Luminescent = refractor like finish on front only
Illuminator = refractor like finish front and back and mostly see through card
hope this helps
Is it 1998 Finest series 1 or 2? 1998 Finest series 1 has multiple variations of the Mystery Finest cards.
Reg
Refractor
Refractor -no refractor finish
Refractor- No "R"
Like he said probably a factory replacement. There are a lot of examples on Joe's site of Pacific cards without serial numbers that are factory replacements.
Really liked your last post. I need almost every card you posted minus the King of diamonds, the etopps, the 3 elite cards, and the gold leaf certified card. Very nice.
Wow! Are all these recent purchases or are you just getting around to scanning them? You have added a lot of really nice cards to your collection. Are you still at 2800 different or did you pass that?
