I have 2 of the "Compliments" Piazza/IRod cards. 1 of them is refractive on the Piazza side, and 1 of them is refractive on the IRod side.

These are the 2 listed cards in my checklist.
1999 Finest Complements C1 M.Piazza/I.Rodriguez
1999 Finest Complements Dual Refractors C1 M.Piazza/I.Rodriguez

Are these 2 different versions of the "dual" refractors, or, are the regular "Compliments" cards refractive on 1 side? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I believe there are technically 3 versions, 2 with either of the players as refractors and one with both sides as refractors. I'm guessing Beckett lumps the first 2 into the same pricing.

So that would make this card:
1999 Finest Complements C1 M.Piazza/I.Rodriguez
refractive on 1 side, with 2 different versions, so I have both of them, and just need the "dual" refractor.

Thanks.

I used to own 3 of the same duo of one of those, don't remember the players though.

They were all three the same with the right side refractor and the left side plain. I always wondered if there were variations of them.

Each card has three variations as follows: 1) Non-Refractor/Refractor, 2) Refractor/Non-Refractor, and 3) Refractor/Refractor.
Example pictures below in no particular order.

I actually pulled the dual refractor you're looking for but it was damaged out of the pack.

Damage was bad. The back of the card is peeled back. Front doesn't look too bad but when you flip it over it looks terrible. On the I-Rod side it looks like someone tried to peel the card apart from the side.

Well, that's one taken off the print run, lol. :(
