I've previously shown shortly after release the following
Gold Chrome /5
Flip Stock, Bright Yellow, Color Swap, Blue Border, and assorted chromes
Throwback SP yesterday
The issue I had when cataloging this particular card, was the spelling of it.
I always spell it grey, but Topps labels it as a Gray back. Cardboard Connection has it listed as a Gray Back also.
In doing some quick research, both Gray and Grey are acceptable ways to spell the neutral color.
Despite the confusion with the spelling, I am extremely happy to cross this off the list. I only need 2 chrome versions (Superfractor 1/1 and Purple Hot Box refractor).
I always wondered the difference between "gray" and "grey". Best of luck in tracking down the final two cards.
ReplyDeleteI see Topps definition of "gray" in this case means golden brown mustard vs yellow mustard. White vs. Light Gray. During the vintage days I would hardly notice the difference and consider either the "base" card. Enter the 1980s and price guides and catalogues started pointing out that there were variants. Now that Topps LOVES <3 LOVES parallels and subtle variants, including gum "stains" the need for these "gray" parallels are a big priority.
ReplyDeleteI went through some Heritage again last week and found the dark, or gray, back of Chris Sale w/ Red Sox.
ReplyDeleteI wish it was easier to spot, but I get the chase factor as well.
Good job.
I get confused by that too. Nice pickups! Those can be hard to find and spot.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a grey gray line here
