Got some cards in from a seller on sportlots. Now I purchased the cards from the base set but I got foil instead on about 20 of them. I look on beckett and they seem less than clear to me. Are the foil cards actually part of the set? Or are they just a parallel to it? My confusion came from the fact that I am missing 89 cards and between the box I opened and the huge monster box I went through at my local shop, I wasn't able to finish it off. Plus, when I look on beckett, it seems that there are 42 of the foil cards. So are they like inserts or are they a part of the regular set? Are there non foil base cards with the same number? I just figured I'd be able to get closer than this to a finished set before I had to turn to sportlots but now that I think about it, if indeed there are 42 foil cards and indeed they are part of the actual base set, then that cuts what I need to half. It also makes me feel a little less confused since I know why I am missing some of the other cards I am missing(i.e. Hoffman, Mariano rookies).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way...I did find that there are two different #553's. Two completely different players. I haven't seen it listed anywhere in any of my old becketts. Thought that was kind of odd.
