there are two kinds of "sparkles" in Topps Baseball 2011-2015 and that is creating some confusion
in 2011 there was diamond anniversary "sparkle," and also cognac sparkle, then in
2012 gold sparkle, 2013 red hot sparkle, and 2014 emerald green sparkle .......... all as parallel sets
in various years 2011- 2015 there were also "sparkle" SP photo variations, in which a little tiny sparkle was photoshopped on a spot on the front of the card, such as if the player was wearing a gold chain, there might be a sparkle coming off the bling,
