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

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?

$15! just think of it as $5 im still searching for the grand finale

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.

Bruce, glad you got it finished. To bad you had to use Burbank to do it.
