Nice work. 1997 SPx was one of my favorites. I especially like the Griffey because the one pose looks like Mays' "the catch" photos.

Ooooh the Gold! Congrats. Which was the last one to pick up?

The last one was the Steel version. I picked it up from Burbank for $15, I had no idea how to tell the difference between the steel and silver until their auction description told me.

So what is the difference? I have one of them but I don't kow which one I have and I have been scared to buy one since i might get the same one and waste $.

What is the difference in the 2 that look like golds you have listed? Middle column bottom 2?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the silver has the SPx on the legs of the X in a hologram like design and the Steel is an etched foil.

Again, correct me if I am wrong.

i think i get what youre saying, but the bronze, silver and gold, you can make out the spx logos in the background, CLEARLY. the steel and base are a blurred background. also the grand finale, is the only one with a gold hologram portrait pic

I think the Steel has the spx holograms on the legs, whereas the the bronze, silver and gold have the etched Spx's that aren't holograms.

Good luck finding the grand finale, I found mine in a bad listing. The seller had it listed an a 1997 Spx Gold. I got lucky and picked it up for less than $30.
