Parallels

Each of the 60 base cards are available in a Gold parallel. On the obverse of the Gold parallel cards, the player's name at the top and the SPx logo caption at the bottom feature gold-colored holographic foil. The reverse of the cards contain gold foil accents, unlike the silver foil accents on the backs of base set cards. Base cards with gold foil accented backs have been uncovered, although these error cards are exceedingly rare.
