however, i did question that fact after picking up some more of steve garvey's 2005 donruss studio portraits parallels. three of them, to be exact:
they all look the same, or very similar at the very least, however, the first two are "blue" parallels - "estrellas" blue (numbered to 25)and "throwback threads" blue (numbered to 35).
the third card is "leaf certified materials" white (numbered to 20)






With football cards, Donruss often makes their parallels the colors of the foil printing on the card, not necessarily the card border color. I don't know if that is the case with these.
ReplyDeleteThankfully the numbered to gives you a clue. I agree with Angus that sometimes the color comes from the foil printing. Nice cards. Enjoy it all!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't see a different when I first looked at the trio. But after reading about the "foil printing", I could see that the first two aren't like the third.
