Can anybody tell me how to tell a Hat Trick from a Hat Trick Tiffany in this release? ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Furthest thing from an expert here, but the scans look like there is 1 asterisks on Tiffany cards and 2 asterisks on non-Tiffany cards.

If they are anything like Topps Tiffany cards. The Tiffany cards will be shinier/glossy and the backs will probably be cleaner, whiter. There might be a slight difference in card stock thickness.

I collect: Baseball, Football, Hockey, Mostly Vintage pre1980, My Homie teams - Washington/Baltimore Teams Senators (Twins, Rangers), Expos/Nationals, Redskins, Capitals, Bullets/Wizards - HOFers - Non-sport (mostly TV shows and movies).

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

Thanks guys. I think it's safe to assume mine are NOT Tiffany. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

I have no real knowledge about hockey cards, but I have to agree with CaptKirk here. Tiffany cards were always pretty easy to tell apart from base cards in the MLB sets, once you know what you are looking for to separate them. Glossy fronts and bright-colored backs are the division for MLB cards (Topps or Bowman).
