1997 Donruss Limited

How do you know which one is:

1997 Donruss Limited Exposure Counterparts Non-Glossy #48 Craig Biggio/Scott Spiezio

The Biggio side is glossy...Do I have the one listed above? Thanks

 

[DeliciousBacon]

Non-Glossy is a terrible way to describe these; Beckett has XXXXed up the naming on these for more than 15 years. The so-called "Non-Glossy" cards look exactly like the base cards, but say "Limited Exposure" on the back:

 

[Joshua.Roundtree]

I believe that one is referring to the error cards from that set. They say 'Limited Exposure' but aren't refractor-like.

So can I delete it off my checklist then?

Don't delete it, it is a legit variation. They can be a little hard to find, since they look identical to the regular base cards, and are often missed as such.

I have all 3. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. Base, Limited Exposure that looks like a refractory, and Limited Exposure that didn't get refractor coating and looks like base.

Regular Issue

Limited Exposure

Limited Exposure NON-Glossy

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

The one I just got today has a glossy Biggio side, and a non-glossy of SS with Limited Exposure

Did I get a double? None of mine seem to have a ReFractorish side? Thanks

 

[BunchOBull]

That's the Limited Exposure Non-Glossy, which really means non-refractor...look above the card number 48.

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Cool

So I gained a card while losing a card

You have these 3 cards:

You still need the other two, which will look like refractors.

Both ReFractor sides, or just Biggio?

 

[Hendersonfan]

Nick I'll post a pic of my Rickey's side by side from my phone. Flash should show refractor finish.

 

[Yanks2151]

This was a helpful thread, thanks. I never understood the variations until now. Beckett list five O'neills for my PC and it looks like I am still missing the correct one I had on my want list.

1997 Donruss Limited Exposure #124 W.Boggs/P.Oneill D

anyone have that one laying around?

 

[Hendersonfan]

Left to right is base, Limited Exposure and then Limited Exposure non-glossy (as per Beckett). Limited Exposure has refractor finish on both sides.
