I'm not a modern collector, so I have to ask:

What exactly is a "rainbow" when it comes to card collecting?

[09232003]

Yes I too dont fully understand what exactly is a rainbow, can we get an admin to clarify please

thanks

I'll let Andrea confirm this - but "rainbow" refers to a group of cards, that are all parallels of each other.

For example, see this post from @RGM81: https://www.sportscardforum.com/thre...2#post14485812

I will get it started with these cards from Panini National Treasures in /25, /10, /5 and /1 versions.

Geezo, Paulie...................... I guess the rest of us can pack it in eh?


This is one time that I wish I'd chosen a slightly better player to collect. Oh well, I still love him!!!

Really nice stuff so far... I am going to come up with something extra nice.

Does it have to be a complete rainbow? i.e. including the 1/1?
