I like the name Genetic Matrix for a Leaf brand.
Nice looking cards.

It appears to be that the etching is colored.

Nice looking cards..
I'm not particularly good at science, but does 'genetic matrix' signify anything other than 2 cool words put together? Or is it like a pun on genetic makeup? I've heard of gene sequences, and cellular/extra-cellular matrices, but not a genetic matrix.
It is fancy-looking. I'm always in favor of new ways to make cards look fancy.

The above Hoops Matrix inserts will be randomly inserted in our 2012-2013 Leaf Metal Basketball Product announced today!
Look for these STUNNING Genetic Matrix inserts will fall one per box in Leaf’s upcoming ROOKIE RETRO release.

These look nice, wish they were licensed to use team names/logos.

So the etching, which has been on Topps Refractor cards as far back as... 93? I know it as on 95 Bowman's Best... In any event... the groundbreaking technology was to, 20 years later, color in the etching?
Wow.
The first thing I thought of was the TVs that came out with colored ambient light. That's the comparison I made.

First thought, it doesn't feel groundbreaking. Second thought, but they do look nice. I like the Genetic Matrix ones better than the etched basketball ones. Looking forward to busting the basketball product. Busting Leaf has been a winning formula for me (as long as it isn't a repack...those ones kill me) so I'm going to keep rolling with it.

Call me crazy, but when I see a football or baseball card, I typically like to see a ballpark or batting cage or something sports-y as a background.

I'm not calling you crazy, but TONS of cards have no/little background behind a player nowadays.

Every single one in your signature has background.
And I'm not disagreeing with you; there are plenty that don't. I'm just stating my opinion.

Probably not a bad idea for a future release...

Jeff,
I am sure you are a good lawyer, but clearly you know nothing about card manufacturing.
This technology has been impossible until now... It is going to change the way Metal/Chrome/Prizm (pick your word) look...
I have never made cards as visually popping as these cards are... and these are just photos (and we know Metal doesnt show off its best in photos/scans).
