I see that some members have been working on this set. I'm close to finishing two sets that I believe are different- one has a glossy finish similar to that of the regular 2008 Upper Deck set, and one with a gloss-less finish. Was one retail and one hobby? Does anyone else know of this or have info on this?

I am not 100% positive on this, butI believe they made a First Edition (glossy) and a First Edition Update (non-glossy). I don't see the latter listed on the database, but that doesn't mean it's not around. Probably not the most popular or easy brand to find.

Updates are easy because they are identifed as such on the backs. 301-500 are updates and they are gloss-less.

Maybe the factory set has something to do with this.

I purchased a factory set of this so I'm giving the thread a bump. It seems the factory set is non-glossy whereas the non-factory set is glossy. Anyone else have some knowledge about this?

ALL of mine are non-glossy and I know that most of them were pack-pulled. Some came from trades, but still no gloss on any of mine.

Do you know if your non-glossy cards are from the First Edition Update series? suomibear8 mentioned above that only the First Edition (1-300, I believe) are glossy. I think that would make sense.

Oops! Completely forgot to check the Update thing. Mine actually are all from the Update set. I find that a bit hard to believe. Even in all of my player and team collections, not a single card from the first 300 cards.

I think the players name & Upper Deck logo on front of card are the difference .

What ever happened with this? We still don't have a fully accurate answer here. So if the Update (#'s 301-500) was gloss-less in retail and the Factory set was completely gloss-less, that means all 200 of those cards are listed twice with no difference. This comes back up for me b/c I just got 11 Cardinals cards. All are gloss-less, but only one was listed as a Factory Set card in the trade. It looks just like the others. The cards I got are #'s 50-57 and 470-473, but #56 was listed as the factory card. Apparently, all of these should be listed as the Factory set cards. But if there is no difference on the Update cards, they shouldn't be listed with the retail glossy version. It seems the best option would be to remove the Factory set from Inserts for the 1st. Ed. set and be listed alone for the people that have the whole set. Then, it should be noted in the 1st Edition retail listing that there is no difference for the final 200 cards. That still won't keep both listings from showing up on people's wantlists though!
