1996-97 Fleer Basketball Forum

I have a version of a card for my PC player (Ron Harper) in both gold and silver colored foil.  I see a lot of others have noticed this change as well.  There are silver variant listed on COMC and eBay.  There are threads on BO forums.  There is a thread about this in the TCDB baseball forums for the same year.

anyone here with any knowledge on these cards?

This happened across several Fleer sets of this time frame.

At one point, there were parallels listed for one of the baseball sets that had this issue (I even contributed scans for at least one player), but they were removed by Admin as they were a mis-foiling, and considered a printing glitch - something not listable on TCDB.
