    Extremely Easy Way to Identify OPC Gold/Metal/Metal-X

    Found this info on the Beckett boards , but it's actually made it EXTREMELY easy for me to identify the 2008-09 OPC parallels now

    Check in this order pretty much:

    Base: No shine and very common, easy to identify...

    Metal: It's the only parallel that doesn't shine rainbow. Turn it from side to side, if it doesn't shine rainbow colours and only reflects silver then you've got yourself a Metal.

    Gold: Shines rainbow colours, but the O-Pee-Chee lettering is plain white with no rainbow reflection around the black lettering.

    Metal-X: Shines rainbow colours as does the O-Pee-Chee lettering (the white part around the black lettering to be exact). Some have a textured mountain like backgrond too.



    So in other words, just look at the O-Pee-Chee logo in the front to tell if you have a Gold or Metal-X, shockingly easy
