2019 Absolute Hobby vs. Retail

CollectTheU · 04-09-2021, 11:46 AM

One of the players I collect is Joe Jackson. According to Beckett, he has both a hobby and retail base card. In past years, the two were easy to distinguish: the Absolute hobby cards had a metallic foil and the retail had a dull finish. I have purchased a card advertised as retail from two different sellers on the Beckett Marketplace and they both look identical to the foil hobby version I have. Can someone please help me distinguish between the hobby and retail versions?

Wasn't he a baseball player?

Yes, there was a long-ago baseball player by the same name. This Joe Jackson is a football player.
