Can someone please definitively and specifically describe the difference between the base Prizm set and the "Prizm Prizms"? The various color variations are easy enough, but with very few images submitted set-wide, I'm having difficulty figuring out which cards I have of these two.

The Prizm Prizms are Panini's answer to the Refractor. (as opposed to the base cards being their answer to Finest/Chrome cards) The ones issued this year also say Prizm on the back in small gray letters...but if you have any, you'll know!

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.

Excellent analogy, much obliged Billy! So, the fact that some card fronts have a "real time" background insert (live action) and others have a solid blank mirror background (posed) has no bearing on their possible insert status?

Nope, that's just part of the design this year. Glad to help!

Also the "Prism" ones appear to be a touch shinier and brighter/clearer.
