Hey, check out these two auctions and notice how the front of gold card #75 has the gold helmet on it and the other auction (card #51) does not have the gold helmet on the front of it.

Card #75: http://cgi.ebay.com/CLONE-STAR...?hash=item1c0e271b5d

Card #51: http://cgi.ebay.com/Topps-Star...?hash=item5636f1771e

Is one of these a fake?

Any thoughts?

Mike,

Maybe he used the wrong image card?

If you are interested I would ask him.

I just found another gold card on eBay that has the gold helmet on the front:

David, please ask him.

On the front picture, no helmet. But on the back picture you can see the 1/1 logo ?

Maybe the front picture is a stock photo.

Anyway, the price is crazy, isn't it ?

Okay, 1st. the gold foil parallel cards are just a dumb helmet stamp in one corner? That's a 1:1 chase? I'm going to say 'LAME' for that. Ick.

And it seems possible that Topps forgot to put the gold foil stamp on one of the cards that they subsequently labelled 1:1 on the back if the card 51 auction is accurate. Big LAME. Bad quality control if that is the case. Worse, it now becomes some weird misprint issue, as in, is there a card out there WITH the gold helmet stamp but missing the 1:1 on the back?????

Arghh.

Really.

My cards don't arrive till Monday, if I get a gold card, I am totally selling it. A gold helmet foil stamp isn't special enough to me.

Working on building a checklist page for the set. Mike O. gave me a really good checklist he built. I need a list of artists and odds (or just artists without odds) if anyone has that, and the same for the animator card artists. Sorry, but no official info out of Topps on these that I have found. Should post the page for the set soon. Looking forward to my box of cards arriving Monday.
