These are definitely unique looking cards, as they are basically plastic. It's kind of hard to see against a white background, but the background design of both these cards is different. That's because every 1999 Tek card had 60 (!!) variations - 2 different player photos, each with 30 different backgrounds. I already had one other version in my collection, so I've got a ton of work to do if I want them all. Additionally, each pattern variation has a gold variation that is numbered to just 10 copies. Yikes.....
But that's not all! I also picked up a very cool card from 1994 Stadium Club:
I remmeber wanting this card so bad back when the set came out. The background has an etched foil look to it, very colorful and eye-catching. Sadly, this card was printed back in the days when it was impossible to imagine Griffey going his whole career without a championship ring....
Topps Tek were cool...just too many variations!
