A Little Help with 1997 SPx Please

[Cobra29svt]

Hey guys,
I know we've been over this before, but can someone please refresh my memory. What is the difference between the silver/steel?

I believe one has holograms on the 'x' and the other had regular silver foil. I think the steel had the foil and the silver had the holos but I could be mistaken.

You have them backwards. The steel cards can be distinguished from the similar looking silver cards by the holographic background behind the SPx logo and the player's number. Silvers lack the holographic background behind the SPx logo and contain just foil. The steel version is the only Jeter I'm missing from that set.

Always a puzzling question.

gotta have scan of each to tell.. I have no clue either. I have one version but not sure which at all.

Be8el0ve: Please post a scan of your silver Jeter

edit: Ok....got it now.

base: holo behind (left) player photo
steel: foil behind (left) player photo & holo on the 'X'
silver: foil behind (left) player photo & foil on the 'X'

You can check out my bucket, I've got the Griffey steele and silver. I think the steele is actually the one without the holograms in the background on the X because the other versions all the holograms in the background. Just my two cents.

Ok, still a little confused. Let me get some scans up to show what I'm talking about

I love and hate you at the same time...if that's possible. Thanks for the scan. I didn't even know this variation existed. Now I have something to do later today!

I guess I'm not good with words. Could someone please let me know which one is steel and which one is silver on the scans of the Bagwells? Thank you

Steels (top, center) are smooth silver foil behind the image on the left of the card.

Silvers are more like "dufex" foiling behind the left image, just like the base, bronze, gold, and Grand Finale.

Base are the only cards with a foil stamped SPX logo, the rest are in black ink.

Does anyone have an SPX Force with Frank Thomas?
