I certainly hope they do look better.
As you say the crux of it seems ot be "nothing I would chase"! (And I would also feel that way).

Most do look better in hand, although the 2014 sparkles can be a pain. THe 2011 sparkles are extremely obvious. 2015 is a little better than 2014. Regardless, I'm glad they stopped doing that as a parallel as well.

Thanks Jerry. Reviewing these "Variations" this has to be the poorest attempt I have ever see by a company to create variations. Some of them are almost imposible to see (including the one I started this thread off with). By the way, my reason for posting was not that I could not as much find the sparkle but that the Note 2 said it was on something that was not even in the picture. Once someone clarified where it was, then I could see it. I believe jimetal had corrected the Note 2 by the time I got back to the card. (Thanks).

Just as a Sidenote, there were Sparkle variations in the 2014 and 2015 Topps Update sets also.

Sparkle, Schmarkle. Nothing beats the Twinkle.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

That was a fun link to play "spot the sparkle" with — well at least for acouple of minutes. Some are certainly more obvious than others.
On the Mchado is the Topps logo changing sides not a much greater variation than the sparkle I couldn't find on his finger? At least that was the first thing I noticed looking at it.
