Question About 16/17 Parkhurst Variations

[fleurynut]

Not sure if this is in the right spot. I was wondering if anyone has heard of or found different variation of the cards other than the reported red and black versions. A friend of mine has stated there is a non-glossy green variation and possibly a light grey variation of the black version.

Not sure about the non glossy, but on eBay the sellers are listing the light grey as black.

Not sure I personally consider it a variation, but there are definitely glossy and more matte feeling cards. I have some of each. The first few fat packs I bought felt almost like a UD canvas card. More recently they are extremely glossy, to the point that the cards slide when you stack them.

The grey/black thing interests me greatly. Anyone got a photo showing the difference ?

The Black cards actually look closer to Grey in colour.

Yes, I believe all the "Grey" colored parallel cards are considered the black ones as my expected black parallel "hit" in my boxes are grey in color. I have not seen any dark black colored cards yet.

I've opened a couple of blasters, fat packs and loose packs and all are the glossy kind (the kind that slide off when stacked). Haven't seen any of the matte kind yet, so that's definitely interesting.

And PS - the coalition is a bit brutal on blasters. Multiple base cards and RC in each blaster I've opened. haha. Oh well.

As cheap as these cards are, I suspect the "variations" are merely differences in the printing processes, rather than a planned production of different variants.
