2012-13 Certified Hot Box Base parallels

[Crosby 87]

How do you tell the difference in the Hot box base parallels and regular parallels?
I bought one pack of it and have no others to judge them off so I have no clue if they are a hot box parallel or not.

Also pulled 2012-13 Certified Rookie Redemption #5 R5
which seems to be /99 but will it be auto'd or not?
(r13 sold for $23 recently)

I opened a case of this and had no idea I hit a hot box. The only difference is the hot box base cards look like a refractor. It is really hard to tell unless you hold a regular card and hot box card side by side in the light.

Hot box parallels from 101-150 are all #'d /75, and they have that rainbow shine in the background that isn't present on the regular base cards.

no numbering on the card but they do have the rainbow/refractor shine to them though

edit: beckett has no print run listed for them either as of now

Well they're not that great compared to our Inventory system. Panini themselves posted on their checklist that the 101-140 cards are #'d /75, the rookies 141-152 are /99, 153-176 are /50, and the good ones from 177-188 are /10.

well as a example

2012-13 Certified Mirror Hot Box #15 Dany Heatley shows no numbering on both Beckett and SCF's inventory

So there's no numbering for these cards 1-100 then?

This is a base card from a hot box (I have no regular to put beside it lol)
