Illuminator & Luminescent -- Anyone know the difference?

Anyone have these parallels to the 1997-98 Stadium Club Triumvirate Inserts or seen them enough to know the difference? I can't seem to tell from searching through pics.

Here are the MJs for reference...

Thanks @scottkoz20 Nice to see you in the forums! Excited to be back on SCF after 4 years away. Let me know if I can help with some graphics work for the site or sponsors. Link to some of my work in my sig. I usually charge next to nothing...just do it to fund my collecting

Hey Shawn,
The illuminator was a refractor type of card it had a rainbow kind of effect when you look at it in the light. I am going off memory but that's what I remember from back in the days. I don't know what the luminescence ones looked like and it's hard to tell from the picture.

Not fimilar with these cards however from looking at the 2 links, the stadium club logo in the top left looks bolder, darker , shinny.

Illuminators are semi-transparent.

It is hard and partially why they changed the layout the following year. Here are 98-99 versions with the name under player name:

Now, as for the 97-98 versions, I have the regular and what I believe to be the Luminescent version. Also attached is a scan of both years to compare for yourself:
