I'm sure it's age, but I cannot tell from the scans which #53 Deion Sanders card I have - base or silver foil. Any help, please?

Based on what I know of similar Pinnacle products of the time in the Racing category, it looks to me that the silver foil cards are printed on reflective silver card stock. The difference will be most evident in the black background, the foil one will be somewhat reflective where the base card will be opaque black.

Base set is standard photo. Silver foil is mirror foil. If it's like the hockey set there is also a holographic version.

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.
