1993 Upper Deck Derek Jeter Rookie

[mordecaibrown1]

Can any one tell me it this Jeter Rookie is the Gold Hologram. I am color blind and I sent it to HGA to be graded and they don't put it on the label if its gold or not? I Did send them a Emil and they said its looks like it is? See their message below! But looks like it is don't say for sure!

PS: The card will be for sale once I figure out if it a Gold Hologram or not.

Thanks

Sam

I would say Gold by the looks of it. If there is anything else i can do, please let me know!

I have a gold and a bunch of base -- even held side by side it's damn near impossible to tell the difference. I wish I could help more but you're not alone here!

Ok Thanks. Looks like PSA is the only one to indicate Gold or not?

Thanks,

Sam

Here's my gold (left) and silver side by side. There is the slightest difference under a bright light.

Are the holograms different?

I cannot see any difference between the two of them.

Ok thanks by looking at your images seams like the one I have looks closer to the one on your left? When I tilt the card back and forth seam to have some gold in it but again I am color blind?

I tried messing with the scanner settings to see if I could get the gold tint to show but no luck. When it's tilted under a lamp or by a window you can see the golden tint much more clearly.

(I personally think it's a silly parallel but was a bit of a Jeter completionist for a while so I couldn't turn it down!)

Understood!

Thanks for the reply.

You have to look at the holograms at an angle to tell the difference, and they should appear either completely silver or completely gold.

Here is a silver holo Jeter at an angle:



Here is a gold holo Jeter along with a gold holo griffey for comparison:





Jeter silver & gold side by side:



Hope that helps!

OK I did look at it at an angle and at the angle as I tilt it slightly it changes form gold to silver? Again I am color blind I will have my wife look at it when she gets home. But I do see what I believe to be the color changing form gold to silver at a angle. Also when it looks silver there is no lettering on the Hologram when it looks gold I see Upper Deck lettering

Sound like you’ve got the silver hologram version. At an angle when you can’t see any lettering is when it should appear gold if it’s a gold holo…when you can see the lettering they both appear to have a gold tint from the holographic lettering.

If you want to post a pic at an angle (when it’s solid in color with no lettering) it should be apparent which one it is…

+1 when holo is solid is when you can see the difference.
