Learned something new today...
I knew about the "flat foil" version of 1996 Topps Laser. Occasionally cards have been shown with just flat gold foil, and not the etched foil most cards had. I had always assumed this was just a missed step in the production process. But I was wrong.
The flat foil cards are actual dealer samples. And there are minor photo cropping differences between the base cards and the promos - at least on the Grace card. The promos are not stamped "promotional" or "sample" though. Obviously the gold foil differences are the easiest way to tell the promo versions. I'm interested if anyone else with the two versions notices photo cropping differences on their player.
