    Quick Question...

    Is there such a thing as 08-09 OPC Update Metal Rainbow cards??? I have heard a few people talk about them, but I have never seen one and they are not on UD or Beckett. Do these exist or are people referring to the Gold or normal Metal Parallels?

    Probably Metal-X

    I don't know. Look at this, it isn't mine, but I originally thought this was the Gold parallel. But this card looks like some kind of a metal card. It does not have the mountains in the back and it is way to light to be a normal metal card:

    Are you positive that is metal X? RGM81 has the Gorges bas Metal X and it has the mountains. The RCs have the mountains. I have not seen a Metal X without the mountains.

    Not in all cases. Easy way to tell the difference between the two.

    Metal - Doesn't shine like a refractor (i.e. no rainbow colours when you turn it in the light)

    Metal-X - It does shine like a refractor (i.e. has rainbow colours when you turn it in the light)

    Then theres the Gold/Rainbow which are similar to the Metal-X that they shine rainbow colours, but the OPC text logo is plain white with no shine.

    So there is no such thing as a Metal rainbow? Just Gold/Rainbow, Metal, and Metal X?

    Wish UD can just TELL us what is what on the card or make it a little bit easier.
