1998/99 Select Hobby Box

[boomboom-84]

Hey All,

I recently saw on Ebay some of these 1998/99 World Class cards described as "Laser Foil" and they had a yellow / gold background. As far as I know, the Retail WC cards and the Chrome Foil Hobby WC cards (blue background)were the only WC cards issued.

I did have the cards on watch, but from memory, they disappeared before the auction was up...

As a greenhorn, can someone please either correct me if I am wrong, or advise where these Laser Foil cards fitted into the scheme of things, and if there were any Laser Foil Record Breakers cards??

Cheers,

Grant.

Plenty of info here mate.
98/98 select basically had 3 mirrored sets;
the retail set was standard card designs with world class and record breakers
the hobby set was same design in a chrome foil with the WC and RB but one gold card per pack!
The Hobby set had different signatures too and you are guarenteed a sig in the Hobby box!

Ahhh OK then... Thanks Dan.

So these "Laser Foil" World Class cards are the gold versions are they??

I knew that the base set had three parallel sets, but I assumed the World Class and Record Breakers had only 2 (the standard and the chrome).

Is there any info as to how many of the Gold World Class and Record Breakers cards were produced??

I gathered that, but just thought I would answer the open question so that anyone else reading it would know
