1998 SPx Football question
Does anyone know why some of the cards have a black X on the back and some do not ? And does anyone know how to spot a Grand Finale version?

As for the Gold vs. Grand Finale, look at the foil behind the player photo on the left side, the head-shot hologram on the lower right, and the helmet-shaped Upper Deck hologram on the back. All of these are gold on the Grand Finale, silver on the other parallels (including the base card).

Thought I remember some without X but now that I look closer the X is there just obscured on Dark background. Think you are right.
