I have 4 of these cards from this set, and they look just like the images added, except where the names are on the back has a gold background. Same numbering and all so they aren't the 24K Gold insert sets. I'm curious, was there a parallel set or is it just an issue with these scans? Or am I going blind and they do look Gold? To me the background behind the names look black. It doesn't bother me either way (aside from I really need an eye exam if they really are gold) but thought I'd put it out here in case another checklist needed to be added or these needed to be corrected.

Gold foil usually scans as black. I know for a fact that Action Packed's foil from 1994 scans as black or close to black.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

They really are gold around the name. It just doesn't scan well on AP cards.
