Today's card kicks off an entire week of Upper Deck cards with a die-cut shiny card from one of Upper Deck's spin-off ranges. SPx was a follow-on from Upper Deck's SP range. When I opened the big box of cards that Richard sent me, I saw this card and mentally filed it as a dupe. But then I realised, it looked a bit different to the one I had already.
Card Number 814: Upper Deck SPx Silver, 1997; #SPX42
These cards are a nightmare to scan, even with the overhead scanner.
I had a few goes at different exposures!
What marks this as a silver parallel is the use of silver foil on the X. The card I blogged previously was blue.
The back is also a shiny scanning nightmare. The back is all silver, even the photo has been colourised to match.
Richard's scans are better than mine. I need to get some scanning tips off him!
Total: 814 cards
Beautiful card! Love SPx cards from the 90's.
ReplyDeleteThese are great looking cards. Inly earlier this year did I finally locate the steel variation of this card. The crazy thing about that is the steel are seeded 1 in every pack, where all the others were randomly inserted. To this day the steel still remains the hardest for me to locate.
